Supply Graduate Programme

Launch a rewarding career

On our Supply Chain and Manufacturing graduate scheme, you'll help source, produce and deliver 6.5 billion liters of iconic products every year, sold across 180 countries around the world. From day one, you'll do work that's crucial for the future of our iconic brands — like Johnnie Walker, Guinness, Baileys, and Captain Morgan — and our business.

In an inclusive culture, you'll be encouraged to voice your ideas whilst being celebrated for your contributions. And together with colleagues all around the globe, you'll innovate and push boundaries, improving our processes and creating a more sustainable tomorrow.

Gain the experience you need

You'll have exciting opportunities to work in a variety of areas within Supply Chain and Manufacturing. For instance, you may learn about how we empower our people, grow our brands, and innovate our business to reduce our environmental footprint. Or you may learn about the manufacturing process behind our much-loved products—how we bring together the materials and ingredients to produce them and ensure they successfully reach their shelf on the market.

Crucially, you'll also have the chance to experience how we do things first-hand. You might, for example, see how we produce our iconic Captain Morgan rum in the United States, or visit Ireland to discover how we make Guinness, the world's number one stout.

Find where you want to join us

We have Supply Chain and Manufacturing graduate programmes available across the world, including Australia, North America, South Africa, and various locations across Europe, such as Turkey, England (London), Ireland, Scotland, the Netherlands (Amsterdam) and Italy. Programmes last from two to three years.
