Job description

Looking for a challenge in one of the world’s largest airfreight logistics organisations?

At IAG Cargo, we are in the business of moving things. From antibiotics to rhinoceroses, gold bullion to avocados, and everything in between. Whatever people need, wherever they are, IAG Cargo is there to bring them the necessary and niche.

As the logistics and cargo brand of International Airlines Group, you will work across the globally recognised brands of Aer Lingus, British Airways, Iberia, Level and Vueling. We believe in keeping the world’s economies turning, building a great place to work for our customers and colleague alike, and doing everything with determined attitudes, curious minds, collaborative actions and heartfelt pride.

About the role

Join our two-year Graduate Programme starting in September 2026 and kick-start your career at the heart of the global air cargo industry. This is your chance to gain hands‑on experience, make a real business impact, and accelerate your development through multiple placements across IAG Cargo. From day one, you’ll take on meaningful responsibilities in a variety of dynamic business areas – from operations to Commercial – each designed to challenge you, inspire you, and set you up for long‑term success.

Unlike many graduate schemes, we don’t just want you to watch – we want you to contribute, lead, and deliver. You’ll have insight and opportunities to work on innovative, high‑profile projects, collaborating with colleagues at our London Heathrow hub and across our international network. Whether it’s driving operational improvements, shaping customer solutions, or supporting major business initiatives, your work will make a difference.

Alongside your placements, you’ll follow a tailored development journey designed to accelerate your growth. Highlights include:

• A bespoke induction to set you up for success
• Access to a global digital learning platform
• Targeted workshops to sharpen both technical expertise and soft skills
• Corporate social responsibility opportunities where you can give back
• A dedicated mentor programme to support and guide you
• The chance to travel and experience our global hubs first‑hand

To help you realise your potential, build an exciting career, and shape the future of air cargo with us.

It’s all about you

We are eager to welcome individuals who demonstrate the IAG Cargo values:

• Determined Attitudes – a strong drive to succeed, a commitment to excellence, and sharp creative and strategic thinking
• Heartfelt Pride – going above and beyond, from day‑to‑day basics to large, long‑term projects
• Curious Mind – an interest in the logistics and air cargo industry, and a fresh approach to traditional challenges
• Collaborative Actions – a proactive attitude, effective communication, and the desire to challenge the status quo and drive positive change

To apply, candidates must:

• Hold (or demonstrate proof they will hold upon graduation) a 2:2 degree or above (or equivalent) within the last ten years from any degree discipline
• Willing to work in different locations and within various business functions, as duty travel and/or shift work may be required depending on placement
• Have the right to live and work full‑time in the UK

We’ll treat you right

As well as a competitive salary of £29,000, bonus, 26 days’ holiday, pension and ability to opt‑in to a generous life assurance and healthcare scheme, we also offer:

• Incredible staff discounts on hotels, car hire and our staff travel flights
• Onsite staff parking, electric charging points and free airport parking when you are off globetrotting
• Access to LinkedIn learning and Rosetta Stone Language courses
• A free onsite gym, as well as access to the UNMIND wellbeing app and a community of mental health first aiders
