Ready to get off the bench and onto the playground?
Are you ready to turn theory into action, roll up your sleeves and learn how a global company runs behind the scenes? The KOMPAN Supply Chain Graduate Programme is your training ground for a long-term career - with hands-on daily work, exciting projects and a front-row seat to how we move from design to delivery.
You won't just observe from the sidelines. You'll jump in, rotate across the business and help ensure that our playground and fitness solutions are delivered efficiently, responsibly and sustainably - one playground at a time.
A 2-year journey across the KOMPAN supply chain playground
The Supply Chain Graduate track is a two-year rotational programme for recent university graduates, designed to give you a deep understanding of end-to-end supply chain processes - from early design decisions to production, procurement, logistics and final delivery to customers across 94 countries.
Like any great playground, you'll explore different cornerstones of KOMPAN: 3 rotations, each 7 months long - building your confidence, skills and operational understanding across the global value chain:
- Supply Chain: working close to production, planning, logistics and delivery
- HQ: focusing on supply chain optimisation, sustainability or process improvement
- Sales: understanding how supply chain decisions support customer needs, service levels and growth
Specific responsibilities will vary by rotation and be shaped by business needs, your aspirations and development, ensuring a steep learning curve and broad commercial exposure. You will be expected to get your hands dirty in the day-to-day operations, because we believe that's where real learning happens.
During each rotation, you'll complete a strategy-related business case, applying what you've learnt to real challenges. In your final months as a KOMPAN Graduate, you'll take on an end-point assessment - a business case tied to KOMPAN's strategy - testing how far you've come and giving back value to the company.
