**What our Graduates say**:
“I love being a Graduate because of the range of different projects we have the opportunity to work on. Rotating across three different teams means you become experienced in the range of skills encompassing the Procurement cycle, from market shaping and category strategies, to sourcing and contract management. You also get to work on projects of different scale, for example, you may start leading on lower value procurements in one team, and in later placements move on to supporting on one of ECC’s biggest contracts. As a Graduate, you will develop your soft skills through presenting to large groups and networking with key stakeholders. We also deliver on additional project work and lead on future recruitment, to best prepare us for management positions.”
- Gemma Longman, Procurement Graduate

"The thing I like most about the Procurement Graduate scheme at ECC is that you are trusted to take the lead on projects which are complex and strategic in nature. I feel enabled to learn and develop from the challenges that I face, whilst still feeling supported to succeed. The scheme has required me to pivot and adapt quickly to new categories, markets, stakeholders and workloads. In doing so, I have confidently taken the helm of key projects and long-lasting relationships between stakeholders from different backgrounds. I have identified and delivered opportunities to innovate within these projects and enriching these relationships, for the mutual benefit of ECC, Essex-based residents, our supply chain, and the environment. I am actively encouraged to be curious and test the ‘art of the possible’ within my categories. My advice would be to not listen to the stereotypes of local government when considering this opportunity. All of my experiences on the Procurement Graduate Scheme thus far concludes that ECC is a workplace characterised by its innovation, fast-pace, and dynamism. This has been the perfect opportunity for me to jumpstart my commercial career.”
- Tabitha Allen, Procurement Graduate

**The Role**:
The Procurement function within Essex County Council is looking for the senior leaders of the future.

The function leads the end-to-end procurement cycle with responsibility for category management, sourcing, contract management, and managing a supply chain whose reach is one of the largest in the public sector.

The Procurement Function manages an annual third party spend of £1.5bn and a contract portfolio of ~£5.8bn.

Our graduate programme will equip you with the skills and experience necessary to become a qualified Procurement professional (CIPS) and will fast-track you into a Procurement Manager role within Essex County Council.
