Build valuable operational and commercial skills within your chosen field of expertise in a fast-moving logistics environment
Accelerate your career with real responsibility from day one
When you woke up this morning you probably had no idea that the rest of your career might be defined by 144 million marbles or 30,000 tonnes of flying fish. You may never have heard of the 125-year-old company behind putting those products and many more on shelves across the world. All that’s about to change
Our Graduates help shape the future of our organisation and drive our business strategy forward. You won’t find yourself hidden away in a corner. From day one you’ll be immersed in the business operations and with responsibility for your own deliverables. We’ll support you along the way and if you’re ambitious and work hard the opportunities are endless.
Graduate programme
Our structured 2-year graduate programmes are based nationwide and offer talented individuals the opportunity to build valuable operational and commercial skills in a fast-moving logistics environment. You’ll broaden your experience and deepen your knowledge through a variety of business placements within your chosen area.
Starting in September, you will enjoy a warm welcome to the business and immediately start to build your professional network. Your business placements will be complemented by a dedicated development programme and you will be mentored and coached by colleagues across the business. We will also support you through a relevant qualification for your chosen business area. If you are ambitious, commercial, driven and eager to show what you can do, this is a great way to launch your career in logistics.

The thing I have enjoyed most about the Graduate Programme is the wide variety of roles and environments I have been in. It’s rare to find a job that gives you the exposure that this programme has, and to be part of a number of high level projects has enabled me to gain confidence and knowledge that will prove invaluable as I move forward within the business.

Meet our graduates “ Throughout the Graduate Programme I've been given many experiences which I've gained immense value from and thoroughly enjoyed. The stand out biggest value for me would be all the opportunities I’ve been given to develop my confidence levels, including regularly moving teams and having to quickly integrate and build up a good rapport; collaborating with colleagues from different areas of the business; and the Graduate workshop training which covered leadership, team building and self-development.

The Graduate scheme gave me so many opportunities to develop myself, including the Graduate workshops and the professional qualification. These have allowed me to develop transferable skills that I can apply in my future roles within Kuehne+Nagel. As a result of these opportunities, I have been able to take my knowledge and share it within my teams which has allowed me to add value in each of my placements; integrating quickly into the new teams and building a strong network.
