Operational Management Graduate Scheme

• Holiday purchase scheme

The world around us is changing rapidly, placing an increased demand on growing services sectors to become net zero. We are looking for the next generation of graduates who will continue to innovate across different areas of our business and support the energy, digital and industrial transitions of our customers. As an Equans graduate you will have the exciting opportunity to experience the diverse and interesting world of one of the UK’s biggest facilities management organisations.

Starting in September 2026, you will join our induction with all the other graduates in your cohort to start building your network and understanding of the Business before your specific placement commences. During your scheme, you will experience operational and functional roles alongside our Operational teams. Your time on the graduate scheme will span across a 2-year period, and you will complete between two to four rotations of either 6 or 12 months in length depending on the project type and department.

You will need to be fully mobile as the placements could be based anywhere within the UK and graduates might need to relocate depending on the placement locations.

Our Operational teams deliver an incredibly wide range of services to our clients all over the country. You could be a part of the largest facilities management contracts in the UK where we work in partnership with some of the UK’s biggest hospitals or helping to mobilise our newest contract wins. A life in Operations is never dull and as a graduate, you will gain experience of what it takes to work alongside large, diverse teams in a fun and rewarding industry.

Over the course of your graduate scheme, you could gain exposure to:

• Operational Management
• Commercial and Financial understanding
• Technical knowledge
• Health, Safety, Environment and Quality delivery
• Equans fundamentals and vision
• Subcontractor and people management
• Asset management

Over the graduate scheme, we will provide a wide variety of training opportunities to develop your skills so that you can excel in your role. You will gain exposure to different areas of the business and opportunities to increase your network.

We’re looking for people who are motivated to continue learning and are ready to take on new opportunities. You won’t be alone during the scheme; you will be supported to drive your development through structured placement reviews and regular meetings with the Early Careers team. From day one you will have a buddy, usually a graduate in the year above, to share experiences with.

You will have the opportunity to join our mentoring scheme where you’ll have the chance to be mentored by a colleague who can share advice with you to support your career development. You will also be able to join our employee-led networks, including our Young Professionals Network.

We are looking for the next generation of graduates who will continue to innovate in our chosen markets, to transform our products and manage the services we deliver to customers. As a graduate, you will work on the front line, gaining exposure to the people, processes and technology that are transforming our business.

The graduate scheme carries real responsibility – you will be doing work that is relevant and central to our business and have the opportunity to make a big impact early on in your career.

At the end of the scheme, you will have developed the skills and knowledge to go into an Account Management role running one of our smaller operational contracts. Many of our graduates continue to make a big impact in our Business, including our current CEO for our Digital & Energy Services Division.
