What does our UK Trains Graduate Procurement Programme look like?

At Arriva UK Trains we want to find the very best people to help us transform our business. During the 18 month programme, you will have the chance to work in a number of different areas within the UK Trains Procurement team and work alongside dynamic, experienced procurement professionals, giving you a unique insight into our business and the skills you need to excel within it. Within the programme you will also spend time with our Train Operating Companies (TOC’s) and gain an understanding of the unique challenges Arriva face in delivering passengers safely and on time, throughout the UK.

If you have a sound business knowledge, good commercial awareness and a hardworking, can-do attitude then this is the role for you. The UK Trains Procurement team are looking for a proactive graduate with an entrepreneurial outlook and someone who is looking for a graduate programme where they can really make a difference and boost their career.

Responsibilities

You will get involved in a wide range of projects across the business. You could be working on pioneering technology projects that will revolutionise the customer journey, to dynamic, market leading engineering projects within our rail fleet. You will also be given ownership of projects that you will be expected to deliver with support from stakeholders across the business. Finally, you will also be encouraged to come up with new and innovative ideas to deliver further value for the Arriva business.

At the end of the Graduate Scheme, there will be a number of different options and roles available for you to move into within the Procurement team.

What we are looking for:

We are looking for a highly motivated, hardworking and ambitious graduate to join the Arriva UK Trains Procurement Graduate Programme. This will be your chance to help us shape the UK Train Procurement strategy and work closely with senior leadership.

Extensive guidance during the Arriva Graduate Programme supports my development. The programme also offers many opportunities by exploring different sides of the business in a relatively short period of time.
