Business Support Placements

Human Resources
The Human Resources department is a small team of skilled and dynamic individuals with a wide range of experience and knowledge we are ready to share with you.

During your year with us, you will have the opportunity to work on recruitment projects, support talent development initiatives, and help to research and develop Lubrizol policies and procedures. Alongside this, you will gain a real insight into what it means to work in HR within a global company, whether it’s assisting the HR partners, arranging and attending meetings, or managing your own projects.

You will work not only within the team, but you will liaise with all departments on site, helping them with queries and working with them on projects to positively impact the business.

Business and Marketing Support
As a business and marketing support placement student, you will be working closely with both Industrial and Driveline to meet the marketing needs of both our internal and external customers.

You will be involved in product and brand focused commercial additives supporting both new and existing products in the market place, providing market research services for individual product managers and working with them to improve our market knowledge on specific products and industries. You will be involved in developing promotional and marketing materials to highlight and differentiate selected products, as well as co-ordinating technical documents for Specialties Europe Product Managers as required.

Purchasing
The purchasing department is responsible for meeting an array of purchasing requirements for Equipment, Supplies and Services principally at the Hazelwood site. As a purchasing assistant, you will be sourcing suppliers to meet the needs and requirements of our internal customers, and negotiating to ensure the best possible prices and guarantees. Further to this, you will work closely with other departments on site, including Finance to process purchase receipts, and Stores when required.

Finance
Working within the Finance department, your time will be split 50/50 between financial and management accounting; this will give you a whole month view of the departments operation from start to finish. You will be working with the department on completing the month end financial reports, performing double entry book keeping, reviewing sales results and identifying and reporting any variances.

Global Communications and Business Support
The Global Communications placement will provide project support to a talented team of designers, photographers and marketers.
You could be part of a film crew in the morning, sourcing promotional items by lunch then editing our photo library and liaising with our US team before the end of the day.

This really is a diverse role and you will work on a wide range of projects across all kinds of media and for a global audience. So if you enjoy the challenge, can project manage multiple things at once and enjoy working with creative people in a fast paced environment, this is the role for you.
