About the Role
Asda’s 2-year Property Graduate Programme offers the opportunity to experience different specialisms within the Property function, including store design and planning, cost and programme management, and implementation. You’ll gain a breadth of experience, opening the door to various possibilities.
From day 1, you'll follow a structured, functionally led development journey designed to build specialist expertise within Property. You'll gain exposure to a range of Property disciplines, visit sites across our estate, and develop a strong understanding of how the function supports our customers and colleagues. Through hands-on experience across different areas of Property, you'll gain insight into the full lifecycle of projects, building the knowledge, skills and experience needed to launch your career within the function.
Supported throughout by senior mentors, buddies and internal development, there will be the opportunity to undertake an external qualification, relevant to your area of interest/experience.
This is an ambitious programme where you will progress at pace but equally be supported and rewarded throughout. By the end of the programme, you’ll have all the tools you need to step into a managerial position, but your development won’t stop there. Beyond this, Asda will continue to support your development and progression.
