Job description
We’re looking for outstanding and dynamic Supply Chain graduates to join our graduate scheme to begin in September 2022. We are a forward-looking company with a desire to remain both innovative and sustainable in an increasingly global market. We are looking for highly motivated, emotionally intelligent, hardworking, articulate communicators like you to help us achieve our growth aspirations.
We are the leading provider of packaging solutions and Europe’s biggest recycler. We have a unique supply cycle strategy with an industry leading approach to sustainability: we want the brightest new ideas to continually improve our design, innovation and entrepreneurship. That’s where you come in; every role at DS Smith plays a part in helping us reduce that carbon footprint.
Locations
Within our Supply Chain Graduate Programme for 2023 we’re offering opportunities across the following locations*:
- France (Neuville Aux Bois)
- There will be separate placements across the scheme and these could be held anywhere across these countries (with many being in rural locations and some requiring to move countries) therefore full location mobility will be required to be considered for this programme.
About the programme
Our scheme runs for two years and will give graduates the foundations to succeed in either Supply Chain disciplines, with different placements across the course of the programme. You’ll go on a rigorous development programme to give you the skillsets to succeed in these areas, whilst also developing you into becoming a DS Smith future leader. You’ll be paired up with a mentor and be given first class training from our external partner to develop leadership capabilities and be offered opportunities to put everything you’ve learned into practice.
Our Supply Chain graduates will ensure we have the right materials in the right place, at the right time, at the right price, linking our sales team to our operational team to maximise use of stock and avoid waste, ensuring everything we do is cost effective and efficient.
You’ll work in different locations for each part of your placement, therefore full mobility in terms of location will be required to be considered for this role (in some cases this may be a change in country), but don’t worry, we’ll support you with any moving costs.
Alongside the role specific skills you’ll develop, you’ll be in a cohort of graduates and together we’ll offer you a world class development programme which will support you in becoming one of our future leaders.
- In year one the focus is on understanding yourself; your skills, your strengths and how to realise your potential.
- In year two your development will be about understanding others, how to work effectively in teams and how to support others.
You’ll then be in charge of your own career pathway, whether you grow into a leadership role or a specialism.
About you
To be considered for this scheme you must have as a minimum:
- A degree within Supply Chain (or due to achieve your qualification before September 2023).
- Speak fluently in English and French (minimum B2 level).
- Hold the relevant right to work within the country you’re applying within.
- Be fully flexible and geographically mobile.
Benefits
- A competitive salary.
- A range of other benefits depending on the country you’re applying within.
- Assessment Centres will take place in March/April 2023 and candidates will need to be able to attend this virtually.
**Successful applicants will need to be available to begin their first placement on September 4th 2023.
