Founded in the mid 50's this award winning business is a group that now comprises six main operating divisions. These divisions offer the rental and sale of specialist products and associated services to a diverse range of end markets, including construction, civil engineering, rail, water, oil and gas, outdoor events and house-building.
As a newly created role this is a pivotal position in this rapidly progressing company and you will be a pioneer for future Graduates.
Why is this different you may ask?
- It's a company that will listen to you and strive to give you all the training and support requested
- This is somewhere where ambition and intuition will be highly appreciated - you will not be just a number
- The level of thought, structure and support put into this scheme is second to none - no area has been left uncovered ensuring a smooth and enjoyable transition between rotations
Finally it is somewhere that will prepare you well for a promising future.
About the role...
This role is a fixed 12 month rotational programme that will stretch, challenge and heavily develop all your skills.
Rotations, which are weekly, include spending time in a range of business areas such as Engineering and Operations and Logistics, as well as a small amount of time in finance, marketing and sales to ensure you gain a sound understanding of the business as a whole.
Within engineering you could work on Technical compliance, 3D modelling and assisting with major European projects.
Operations can involve quality and environmental monitoring, managing service records and repairs, assisting regional managers with onsite projects.
There is so much more involved from understanding HR to getting involved in presenting to major new clients, assisting teams on converting quotes to projects, managing budgets etc.
At each stage you will be fully trained and introduced to the business function well. You will return regularly to each function and each time develop from your last project with the team.
The role will be based initially in Yorkshire, Harrogate with flexibility to also spend time in their Essex facility too. Beyond the year's scheme there is potential to continue your career with them and depending on your achievements, you can expect to see yourself reaching managerial positions within a few years.
Being in such a progressive company who are regularly acquiring new businesses there is plenty of opportunity across a huge range of business functions and potentially even worldwide locations!
We are certainly looking for something extra special beyond your academics....
- First and foremost we would like to see a technical degree background - we are open on this and will consider a range of backgrounds but those from Engineering, Science and Physical Geography would be ideal.
- Whilst we want technically minded candidates who can understand and be interested in a company in this sector, it is also crucial that you have natural business acumen and want to progress in a non-technical role in the future.
- We want to hire someone with confidence and an assertive nature - it's important you can express ideas to senior members of the company and have the confidence to stand by your ideas
- Communication skills are key for this and we want to see demonstrably strong ability in this area
- Experience working in a related industry or similar role would be a huge advantage but not necessary
- You MUST be flexible geographically as the role will require placement at different sites.
