Your Future, Accelerated

Explore global opportunities with an ever-expanding business. Reach the highest levels of the commercial world. Go from being a talented, ambitious graduate to being the future of our company. Join DCC to accelerate your future.

Who are we?

DCC is a FTSE 100 company with 14,000 employees working across 40+ businesses in 20 countries. If you haven’t heard of us before, it’s because each of our businesses operates under their own brand and has local senior management teams.

Our intensive programme

Join us as a Business IT Graduate, and you’ll spend two years building up knowledge and skills in different companies, different divisions, and potentially different countries as well. And because we believe IT is about translating opportunities into added value, your focus will be less on the technology itself and more on how technology can be used to drive competitive advantage. This makes DCC a unique environment in which to develop an IT career.

“The standout point for me about the DCC Graduate Programme is the investment the company makes in you. DCC hire you for the future – not just for the two-year programme.” – Business IT Graduate

Your opportunity to drive our continuing growth

IT has been a critical enabler of growth at DCC. You can be too. Throughout the programme, you’ll be adding real value to the organisation as you master the role of business analyst and learn how systems such as SAP and Oracle are deployed across our businesses.

A typical day could include:

  • Designing and delivering a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) database for a sales function
  • Upgrading a web proposition to support Business-to-Business (B2B) marketing activity
  • Integrating newly acquired companies onto our IT systems
  • Managing IT system implementations
  • Involvement in internal business improvement projects
  • Enjoying a team lunch or socialising with colleagues after work

In the longer term, you will act almost as an internal consultant providing an interface between technical teams and the rest of the business and managing major projects from beginning to end.                                    

Ongoing development and support

We offer classroom and on-the-job training as well as funding for you to gain a professional qualification or pursue language lessons. There will also be opportunities for you to explore a wide range of career paths, potentially across all four divisions of our diverse Group. Throughout your time on the programme, you will be supported by your Line Manager, a dedicated Coach, a Graduate Buddy, your Graduate Programme Business Contact and the Graduate Programme team.

What we look for

We operate internationally – and you need to be able to do the same, with the unrestricted right to work in the UK and/or the European Economic Area (EEA). We will provide visa sponsorship for UK graduates to work in the EEA and for EEA graduates to work in the UK. However, we are unfortunately unable to provide financial sponsorship to non-EEA/non-UK applicants trying to obtain the right to work in any of DCC’s operating countries in the EEA and/or the UK. Please note that an offer of employment is contingent on having a full clean driving license by the 1st September 2022. 

Ideally, your degree should have some relation to IT but it’s not essential. All that matters is that you have a 2:1 or equivalent. While there are no language requirements, French speaking capabilities would be ideal to help you excel in this role. You must also have strong team-working, communication and relationship-building skills. To really succeed in this role, you should have excellent data analytical skills with the ability to draw conclusions and suggest improvements based on these outcomes.
