Transport for Wales - Graduate Procurement and Supply Chain Scheme

Transport for Wales Graduate Scheme

Role: Procurement and Supply Chain Graduate

Location: Pontypridd

At Transport for Wales (TfW), we have big plans to transform the Welsh transport network. It's our vision to connect communities, create jobs and make travel across Wales and the borders more accessible than ever. That's where you come in.

On this scheme, you'll blend formal learning with practical experience. You'll provide a range of procurement support activities by working with the Procurement Managers. You'll help to demonstrate value for money through sustainable procurement, identify new opportunities to improve efficiencies and keep up with industry changes. Day-to-day, you'll support the Contract Manager with contract management plans, supplier management and any price negotiations or legal issues. And you'll do all of this while working on your own personal project.

Throughout this two-year course, you'll work towards achieving a professional qualification. As part of your learning, you'll take part in six practical development workshops and four webinar sessions. Plus, you'll combine your academic and practical learning to deliver a personal project that contributes to TfW.

To apply, you'll be a great team player, while still taking your own initiative. This'll be backed up by a degree in a relevant discipline, and your ability to prioritise tasks and balance your workload. You'll also be a confident communicator, as you'll liaise with different teams, senior stakeholders and TfW partners. With good IT skills and a passion for learning, you'll quickly develop your skills and get the most out of the scheme.

Work or volunteering experience in a related field is desirable, as are Welsh language skills. If you're keen to develop your skills, we want to hear from you
