Operational Management Graduate Programme

6 months ago


Northampton, United Kingdom GXO Logistics Full time

This year instead of writing a whole advert on what we at do GXO or what we’re about (which you can find on the internet), we asked some of our current Operational Management graduates to share some of their reasons why they love being part of our Graduate Academy. Here’s what they came up with:

- You’re thrown in at the deep end and in my first placement I was managing 45 warehouse colleagues. I was given the support and encouragement to do a great job. I’m current completing a Leadership and Management qualification which gives me guidance on managing my team coupled with hands-on experience. I’ve also completed my IOSH Health & Safety qualification and Transport Managers qualification too
- It’s not a Monday to Friday 9-5 gig but if you work hard, you’ll get the enjoyment and job satisfaction. It’s super-fast paced which won’t suit everyone but quick thinking, problem solving and looking at better, more proactive ways of working is always a good challenge to have.
- I’ve moved to a different area of the country every 8 months. I’ve worked at our retail customer site in Barnsley managing a team over Christmas peak and I’ve also managed a team who planned deliveries for our Iceland depot in Swindon. Being flexible to move across the UK over the 2 years is essential for your own personal development and you’ll 100% be rewarded if you work hard with opportunities of progression and development.
- This is a warehousing and transport programme, so you’ll be either working in and around the warehouse or transport office at a management level. You get the leg-up to progress your career in whichever area you chose.

Our scheme is designed to give you the opportunity to dive straight into a career - not just a job. With the luxury of having over 200 sites UK wide, you’ll see, hear and experience some of the most exciting but challenging business opportunities within the logistics and transport world. You’ll working closely with our customers, such as ASOS, River Island, Superdry, adidas, Iceland, Sainsbury’s and hundreds more, as well as managing colleagues and driving change initiatives to make what we do better. We’ll help you decide which path is right for you within the industry and provide the keys for you to unlock the doors to further your career - sounds cheesy but according to our grads it’s 100% true.

**Pay, benefits and more**:
We just ask that you have a degree of a 2:1 or above in any discipline and have the drive and determination to succeed. You’ll receive a starting salary of £29,000 in year one, rising in your second year. We’re a business which really looks after our colleagues with multiple benefits and a colleague benefit platform. We believe that if our colleagues are happy, our work is taken care of and our customers are satisfied - which is why they keep coming back to us year upon year.

**Whats next..**

So, if you’re ready for your next challenge, you’re flexible to work across any site around the UK (you may need to relocate but we’ll help and support with this) drop us your CV and we’ll be in touch.

If you’re interested send us your CV and we’ll start the ball rolling (oh and feel free to reach out to our Head of Graduate Recruitment & Development, Amee Hnatyszyn, or any of our graduates on linked in for more information - we’re a friendly bunch

**We engineer faster, smarter, leaner supply chains.
