Procurement Business Graduate

Are you ready to launch your career and make an impact on real-world projects from day one?   

At Leonardo UK - Helicopter Division, we’re looking for Procurement Business Graduates who want to be part of something bigger—shaping innovation, advancing technology, and enhancing global safety. 

We are committed to developing our graduates into leading technical or business professionals, and as such we will also support you through your preferred route for professional development. 

Our 2 year Graduate Programme gives you the opportunity to work on exciting and challenging projects alongside subject matter experts. 

Start with an Induction into Leonardo, followed by team building activities. There will also be a Procurement specific induction to ensure that scheme requirements and expectations are fully established.

Typically, your placements will consist of 4 month rotations across the Procurement & Supply Chain department including the opportunity to do an external placement elsewhere in the business. The graduate scheme will give you the opportunity to gain practical experience in a wide spectrum of procurement disciplines and also develop soft skills through opportunities which a direct entry position may not be able to.

In conjunction with the Procurement Management Team and the Early Careers Team, you will have the opportunity to input into the design of your training scheme to shape your development and include placements which give an insight into the complete Helicopter Product Life Cycle and business operation.

Entry Requirements 

• Minimum 2:2 Bachelors or Masters in a Business-related subject.

At Leonardo, many of our roles are subject to security and export control restrictions set by UK Government Security requirements and customer obligations.  As a result, and in line with the UK Government Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) requirements, all successful applicants will be asked to provide evidence of identity, eligibility to work in the UK, criminal record declaration information and employment and/or education history verification for the previous five years.

For staff operating in more sensitive posts, there is an additional range of personnel security controls referred to as National Security Vetting (NSV).  As part of this process, a range of factors may be considered, including an individual's background, travel history, nationality, previous nationalities held and other information relevant to the vetting assessment.

To be eligible for National Security Vetting at SC level, applicants will generally be expected to have continuously resided in the UK for the previous five years. For DV clearance, this is typically ten years.  In some circumstances, time spent overseas may be accepted, with additional overseas checks.  Additional vetting requirements may apply upon appointment.
