MITIE, the strategic outsourcing company, today announces its first graduate leadership programme designed to identify the future leaders of the business and fast-track them into management across the company. 

“A career with MITIE will give the most talented graduates the opportunity to experience every aspect of our business first hand and to lead sizeable teams early on in their careers,” said Ruby McGregor-Smith, Chief Executive of MITIE. “Our 56,000 employees are our greatest asset and deserve the very best leadership. We are seeking graduates with the passion, personality, ambition and hands-on attitude to ensure the MITIE success story continues into the future.” 

During the twelve-month programme the graduates will work closely with a senior manager or director to develop their customer care, financial and leadership skills. Each will spend time working within business development, operations, project management, HR and marketing and communications, ensuring the broadest exposure to all aspects of a fast-growing FTSE 250 business. 

For enthusiastic graduates with big ambitions, the successful candidates will earn £25,000 along with excellent benefits. Up to ten graduate places are available in the initial programme, for individuals who have a 2:1 degree in a relevant subject. Candidates can apply on www.mitie.com/graduaterecruitment.

Notes for editors

What is MITIE?
We’re the strategic outsourcing and asset management company.

What does that mean in practice? Providing everything from strategic consultancy, to world-class delivery on the ground. From long-term infrastructure planning, to facilities management, property and engineering services. Our strategic input can add value at the highest level, while our practical management expertise can save customers money and maximise their returns.

At the same time, it’s not just what we do, but how we do it that makes us different. Our people are passionate about what they do, committed to working in partnership with their clients, and will always look for a fresh answer to a new challenge.

We work with our clients in three ways; some take full advantage of our whole range of expertise by buying the whole suite, others may only need one aspect of what we do:

Strategy and consultancy

+ Facilities and project management

+ Service delivery

In other words, we think, we manage, and we deliver.

The thinking phase is all about finding strategic answers to long-term challenges about assets and resources. Facilities and project management puts those plans in place, and our unrivalled range of services is one of the best in the business.

There’s a lot more to MITIE than you probably think. We’re a big company with big ambitions - a leading FTSE 250 support services business, with more than 56,000 people, revenues in excess of £1.7bn, and a reputation for being the best.
