YOUR ROLE

Are you a university student looking for an exciting year 3 industry placement? Our Operational teams based in Northamptonshire have a fantastic opportunity just for you! We’re on the hunt for a hardworking individual to work at two of our high-profile customer operational sites.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

As a key player in the team, you will engage in a variety of open and closed book customer contracts and help to facilitate operational tasks using a structured, methodical approach. You will collaborate with a diverse range of local colleagues to improve customer experience and foster team cooperation. Additionally, you will play a crucial role in driving continuous improvement across our sites, promoting a culture of vigilance and responsible logistics.
During your 12-month program, you will spend six months working at two different high-profile customer contract sites based on our KetCo Campus. You will rotate across multiple departments and your work schedule will include a mix of office hours (08:00 to 17:00), early shifts (07:00 to 15:00) and late shifts (15:00 to 23:00). We therefore seek someone with a flexible schedule who can adapt their shift timings to meet the peak periods of the operation.
At the end of each six-month period, you will be expected to create and present a project to the general management team. This will allow you to further build upon the skills, knowledge and understanding you have gathered over your placement.
