At Great Western Railway (GWR), we're more than just a train company—we're a part of Britain's history and its future. Since our founding, we've connected the West and Wales with the rest of the UK, opening doors for trade, tourism, and community connections. Today, in partnership with Network Rail, we're committed to building the railway of tomorrow, from electrifying main routes to leading the largest train upgrade in the country.

The Procurement team plays a key role in this journey by strategically sourcing and managing suppliers to ensure we're always delivering the best value. Our vision is clear: to be a trusted partner, enabling GWR to achieve value for money in everything we do.

Qualifications?

Ideally MCIPS-qualified (or actively working towards it). A background in procurement and a foundational understanding of contract law. Proven success in building strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders.

Location?

Our main base is in Swindon, where you'll work with a fantastic team. As part of your benefits, you'll receive a travel pass to explore the GWR Network—both a perk and a chance to connect with the passengers and communities we serve.
