Leadership development

We want a flow of people in the company who can grow with us and who will be able to fill key positions early on in their careers. This includes roles in general management and as leading technical specialists within the company.

The Leadership Development programme is all about finding and developing these future leaders. Lasting around 18-24 months, with a further two planned career moves, the programme focuses on promoting leadership ability while developing your professional competence.

Learning & development
You’ll be exposed to many parts of our business through three, six-month placements. You’ll need to be flexible as each will be in a different location, one of which will be outside the UK, so you’ll have to be prepared to live abroad for six months. These placements are deliberately designed to stretch you and you’ll be expected to make a significant contribution to the business from day one.

The programme is broad and individual to you, giving you experience across different sectors of the company. Your leadership skills will be developed through innovative learning and development modules, robust feedback and self-directed learning such as project work.

Throughout your programme, you’ll receive all the support, encouragement and training opportunities you need to develop world-class leadership skills, including coaching and mentoring from a senior manager and an Early Career Development Advisor (ECDA), who can help you make the most of your training. Ultimately, with the right attitude and ability, you’ll be looking to make a direct contribution to the direction of the business by reaching a significant leadership role within five years.
