This role will include operational tasks, managing reporting through Excel/Power BI as well as project management.

As an undergraduate on one of our placements, you'll receive a £23,500 salary, 27 days' holiday - plus bank holidays - have access to our car schemes, pension scheme, employee well-being support, an on-site restaurant and shopping discounts.

What do you need?

To be successful in this team you'll have strong commercial awareness and organisational skills, as well as a keen awareness of customer and employee needs. The roles here suit a detail-focussed individual with a determination to solve problems and raise standards.

Our placement is open to any university student who is eligible to work full-time in the UK for twelve months from June 2027. You should be on a sandwich degree which offers a one-year industrial placement.

We believe all employees should have a good work/life balance and wouldn't want you to spend a large amount of time commuting, so we require our placement students to be based within a reasonable distance from our Milton Keynes head office.

What's the assessment process?

Once you have hit the apply button, you will be asked to complete numerical assessment and situational judgement assessments. If you successfully complete these, we will invite you to an online video interview so that we have a chance to get to know a little more about you.

Our final step in the journey would be for you to attend a face-to-face assessment centre, where you will take part in a range of activities based on real-life tasks. You will also have a chance to meet some of our managers and current placement students to find out more about the scheme.

This process is designed to help us both work out if a placement here is the right step for you. Successful candidates will be offered a place soon after the assessment centre.
