Operational Manufacturing Graduate Scheme - Morrisons

At Myton Food Group we have a legacy to be proud of. We’re British farming’s biggest single direct customer. We buy from highly valued suppliers, and we’re passionate about the quality of our food. Today, we have 18 manufacturing sites across the UK, where we pack and process fresh meats and fish, savoury and sweet pies, fruit and veg, flower bouquets, bread and lots more.

We really do stand out in the world of food manufacturing. But what we’re especially proud of is the way we all get stuck in and work as a team!

What’s involved?

Throughout the 2-year scheme, you’ll work across our different manufacturing sites where you’ll be able to experience every aspect of the manufacturing of our top-quality products. You’ll help us drive efficiencies and innovation in a fast-paced environment. Your time will be spent gaining knowledge on the manufacturing process along with an understanding of how to be a successful leader. Day-to-day, you'll be responsible for:

• Working on exciting live projects to help simplify and improve our manufacturing processes
• Managing factory teams and production lines
• Coordinating the product lifecycle: from field, to factory, to one of our stores

By the end of the programme, you will have the experience and skills needed to progress into the role of a Shift Manager and leading your own team of up to 50 people. If you’ve got the leadership skills and drive to make things happen, then you could progress to join our management team and gain a wealth of experience across the business.

Make good things happen

Our graduates get access to all our employee benefits, including a holiday buying scheme, contributory pension scheme, store discounts and MyPerks. This is a reward and benefits scheme that updates regularly with new and exciting offers. Here’s what could be available:

• 24% cashback on JustEat
• 6% cashback on Ticketmaster
• Cinema tickets from £4.80

What you’ll need to join us

We are food makers and shop keepers, and together, we make Morrisons. We’re looking for graduates who share our passion for food, its quality and safety. You’ll need to be a great communicator with strong listening skills and the ability to build relationships with a diverse team of people. Candidates require a minimum 2:2 in any degree subject but it would be ideal if you had an agricultural interest or a passion for farming! Other key qualities we’d like to see include:

• Ability to influence and lead
• A positive attitude
• A drive to succeed and constantly improve

You’ll also need a full UK driving license to be able to travel across sites during your time on the scheme. Due to the constantly changing industry we’re in, we do require you to be happy to relocate within the UK. This not only helps us, but it benefits your learning and development.

We're passionate about delivering excellence and meeting your needs, so we're confident you'll find working at Morrisons rewarding. We are focused on the progression of talent early in their career. That's why we were awarded Best Emerging Talent Strategy at 2023’s Institute of Student Employers Awards!
