Hear from Maisie Barrington (Operations Graduate Scheme)

"I have worked on several projects since joining the graduate scheme looking at operations optimisation. In one of which I successfully secured the investment of new crane technology, reducing the manual workload on operators. Within the scheme you learn so much along the way, soft skills such as people management and leadership as well as technical skills such as data analysis."
