About us

Gist Limited is a supply chain company with a long history, spanning over 100 years. We work closely with our 3,000+ customers, which cover a wide range of commercial and industrial sectors, including some of the biggest names in food retail such as Marks & Spencer Food, Dairy Crest, Starbucks and Eat.

About you

We are looking for keen, enthusiastic industrial placement students to and join our consulting part of the business. You will need to be extremely driven and motivated, and have a real desire to make a difference. You will also need to share our passion for people, both as a team player and as a future senior manager.

The job is not 9-5 and won’t be repetitive – you will be out and about, getting involved and really making an impact on the way we do things to constantly improve our performance. Geographic mobility is important as well as the possession of a full driving licence and a car.

About the role

The role of our Logistics Consultants is to deliver real value to our clients across the full breadth of the supply chain functions, to quickly identify the questions and work to address them. They take responsibility for scoping projects using analytical techniques that evaluate supply chain tradeoffs.

As an Industrial Placement student within our Consulting team you would support the wider team with data analysis, for example analysing customer driver patterns, delivery windows or order peaks. The type of work you would be involved in would vary from project to project, but would mainly focus on extracting and collating data to support the design process of part or all of the suggested supply chain solution.

What is the Recruitment process?

We have a two stage process; After application screening the next step in the process is a competency based telephone interview with a member of our HR team. The final stage is an Assessment centre at our head office in Basingstoke. The assessment centre will be on the 20th November 2014.

Please note we are only able to accept applications from candidates who are able to commit to both the confirmed Assessment centre date and a start date of September 2015.
