Category Management Understand the procurement lifecycle and category management principles, gain exposure to a key spend area and work within a category team to develop applied skills (e.g. sourcing, negotiating, contracting, supplier management etc.). You will have an opportunity to learn how to use Veolia's esourcing tool and potentially run a tender using this tool.
3. Project Procurement Work in a cross functional team to deliver customer solutions and understand the strategic and tactical elements of procurement that support project delivery for our customers.

At the end of the two year placement, you will be able to progress into a Junior Category Manager or Project Procurement related role.
