Logistics Graduate Programme
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
Our logistics capability runs through everything we do at DCC and is a key competitive advantage that sets us apart from our competitors. Join the DCC Logistics Graduate Programme, and you’ll spend two years gaining exposure across the huge range of operations involved in managing the supply chain as effectively as possibly – potentially everything from coordinating fleets of tankers to providing end user fulfilment for major internet shopping sites.
“In my first year of the DCC Graduate Programme, I was offered projects that I had to run from initiation and analysis all the way through to implementation, while always being supported by my manager. There is a very satisfying feeling in seeing the opportunities I identified come to fruition and now multiple teams are engaged in delivering these initiatives for the benefit of our customers.” – Logistics Graduate
Your opportunity to experience it all
This programme puts you at the heart of the action, where you’ll get to take on a diverse range of responsibilities and experiences across our global business.
A typical day could include:
- Using customer forecasting to match supply to demand
- Managing the integration of stock between warehouses following the acquisition of a company
- Building the business case for the introduction of new technology into our operations
- Providing support for the introduction of SAP or similar systems into newly acquired companies
- Project managing of the installation of company-wide new technology
- Enjoying a team lunch or socialising with colleagues after work
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 logistics 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.
