About the Role
As a Procurement Intern, you'll spend a year gaining hands-on experience and working on meaningful projects that contribute to real business outcomes. From day one, you'll be part of the team, tackling genuine challenges and building valuable technical and professional skills. It's an opportunity to put your learning into practice, develop future-ready skills and gain insight into where a career in Procurement could take you.
Why Procurement?
Procurement plays a critical role in how Centrica delivers for our customers and grows its business. From securing the goods, services and technologies needed to building strong supplier partnerships, the teams help make smart commercial decisions and create long-term value.
During your Year in Industry, you’ll gain hands-on experience in an area such as strategic sourcing, supplier and contract management, supply chain, sustainability or commercial risk. You’ll contribute to real business priorities, work with colleagues and suppliers, and develop practical skills in commercial thinking, stakeholder engagement and problem-solving. You'll build your understanding of how Procurement balances value, quality, sustainability, resilience and risk.
Support to Help You Thrive
Centrica is looking for potential, not perfection. You'll be supported every step of the way through structured development opportunities, experienced mentors and line managers, dedicated graduate learning, buddy support and a network of graduates from across the business.
With offices across the UK and a hybrid approach to working, flexibility is an important part of the intern programmes. You’ll need to be open to travel when required and, for some placements, relocation, giving you the opportunity to experience different teams, locations and parts of the business.
