Summer Intern Maidenhead, England
Job description
Summer Placement - Operations/Sales - Maidenhead Based - Real Living Wage - £10.90 per hour - July/August.
MCFT are an award winning service provider who specialise in the servicing, maintenance and repair of commercial kitchen equipment here in the UK and beyond. Our consistent level of high standards has meant we now work with some of the biggest names in the world of business & industry, education, healthcare and sporting & event venues.
Our commitment to developing our colleagues has presented an opportunity for a current university student to experience the world of work through a Summer Placement. The ideal way to gain experience of being in the work place and by delivering your own high standards whilst with us, presenting yourself the opportunity to be considered for our Graduate programme once you've finished university.
It’s a try-before-you-buy concept which works for all parties - to be clear we are looking for long term contributors to the business, folks who will come back after studies to take up a full time role.
We've had great success previously with summer placements, who returned after university and are now running the business!
Dan Smallbone - business management graduate with a background in hospitality, started selling new equipment to clients and now Operations director managing the overall service delivery of 100 techs across the UK
James Perton - Sports Management with a particular interest in sport psychology, after some time wandering the desert in the Gulf, now heading the "not possible" start-up "what makes you think you can come here and run a service business" in the Netherlands. 18 months in and an established name in Benelux.
Adam O’Sullivan - local job after leaving Uni, agreed a trial 2 months with Mark Brooker, slipped in under the radar and has just delivered the outstanding performance of the Qatar World Cup, bringing together the team of the tournament and very happy international events customers.
George Roberts-Smith, one time Engineering Student at Southampton, in for a summer job, never went back to do his PhD - has now built and continues to run the whole of the Middle East - and, by common consent, the premier service operation in the Middle East.
Terence Horsman, intern from the University of Groningen, heading up our IT sister company OST, enabling everything we do.
Working closely with either our Operations team or Sales team you'll contribute to our overall operation and receive training from your colleagues around you.
As an SME our teams work closely with one another, clear lines of clarity and communication are vital and being prepared to support where required in a fast paced environment will become second nature.
It's important that you have a "sleeves rolled up" attitude and have the confidence to get stuck in, you will be provided the tools to have a successful time with us, you will need to grab the opportunity with both hands.
We're ideally looking for someone to join us for 2 months based at our office in Maidenhead, working Monday to Friday, 8am till 5pm (4pm on a Friday).
In return you'll earn an hourly rate in line with the Real Living Wage and be entitled to a number of benefits that we offer our colleagues.
If you have the appetite, the curiosity, the attitude to get involved and get the most out of life, MCFT will provide the opportunity and the push.
