An incomparable graduate opportunity to gain a place on the 'Future Leaders Procurement Programme'.

The graduate programme is sponsored at the highest level of the business and you will become part of a dynamic working environment with plenty of opportunities to grow and develop.

In the first year, you will work on skills such as stakeholder management and presentations, while in the second year you will move on to focus on managerial training.

The role will largely be a remote working role, with opportunities to travel globally as part of the role. You will also have the option to be based in a different country for your second year if desired, whether that is within Europe, or the US depending on project focus. The client has 300+ offices based in over 30 countries.

  • Participate/drive negotiations about CHP/steam supply contracts via contracting and financial leases
  • Align energy efficiency objectives with group sustainability targets, take necessary measures and propose actions to define the carbon footprint roadmap
  • Initiate and manage energy efficiency projects on a group level and engage with all stakeholders
  • Negotiate PPAs and service agreements related to energy consumption and production, negotiate certificate purchases for Green energy

  • You will have:
