HOW YOU CAN MAKE AN IMPACT

About the Opportunity

We are looking to appoint an Operations Graduate to work alongside the Chief Operating Officer. Initially offered as an 18-month programme to ensure a thorough grounding in the business, the purpose of this programme is to build a future Operations Manager who can work closely with our Location Managers on their Operational site issues.

What does the programme entail?

Within this 18-month period, you will work in three different departments for 6 months each:

•Mobilisation: During your first six months, you will work at our Newcastle location working closely with the Head of Mobilisation supporting them to deliver our new projects from concept to operations.

You will be involved in supporting external client stakeholder management through meeting attendance and internal preparation meetings, with the support of the wider department.
