Purchasing Undergraduate Placement
What will you be doing?
You'll be responsible for adding value and support to the Procurement team to ensure requests and processes are fulfilled. You’ll get the opportunity to support functional project work, negotiations with suppliers, and direct involvement with cost reduction activities.
What do you need?
To be successful in this role, you must have a high attention to detail and possess good time management skills. You'll have strong numerical, analytical, and Excel skills together with robust verbal reasoning and communication skills.
Our placement is open to any university student who is eligible to work full-time in the UK for twelve months from June 2025. You should be on a sandwich degree or course which offers a one-year industrial placement.
We believe all employees should have a good work/life balance and wouldn't want you to spend a large amount of time commuting, so we require our undergraduates to be based within a reasonable distance from our Milton Keynes head office.
What's the assessment process?
Once you have hit the apply button, you will be asked to complete numerical and situational judgement assessments. If you successfully complete these, we will invite you to an online video interview so that we have a chance to get to know a little more about you. Our final step in the journey would be for you to attend a face-to-face interview.
This process is designed to help us both work out if a placement here is the right step for you. Successful candidates will be offered a place soon after the interview.
