At InPost, we’re redefining convenience.
From smart lockers and industry-leading technology to the people, processes, and operations that keep millions of parcels moving, we’re changing how people send, collect, and receive parcels - and we’re doing it at speed.
Behind every successful delivery is an operation that works smarter, faster, and more efficiently.
That’s where you come in.
We’re looking for an ambitious, curious, and analytical graduate who wants to get stuck into real engineering challenges, use data to solve problems, and make a tangible impact across our growing parcel network.
As a Graduate Trainee Process Engineering Manager, you won’t be watching from the sidelines. From day one, you’ll work alongside our Network Operations leadership team, helping to understand performance, improve processes, and build the systems that allow our operation to perform at its best.
This is an opportunity to take what you’ve learned through your engineering degree and apply it to real-world challenges - with the scale, pace, and complexity of one of the UK’s fastest-growing logistics and technology businesses.
Why Join InPost?
As a Graduate Trainee Process Engineering Manager, you’ll work on real projects from day one, using data and engineering thinking to identify opportunities, develop solutions, and see your ideas put into practice.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Engineer the Operation - work with Network Operations leaders to understand how our processes work, where performance can be improved, and how we can operate more efficiently.
- Own the Data - analyse operational and productivity data to identify trends, opportunities, and areas for improvement.
- Build Better Systems - support the development of productivity management systems and reporting that give operational leaders the insight they need to make better decisions.
- Dare to Disrupt - challenge existing processes and ways of working, using an engineering mindset to identify smarter, more efficient solutions.
- Solve Real Problems - investigate operational challenges, understand root causes, and help develop practical solutions that can be implemented across the network.
- Think Commercially - understand how productivity, efficiency, and process improvements translate into cost savings and better operational performance.
- Communicate Your Thinking - turn complex analysis into clear reports, recommendations, and presentations that can be understood and acted upon by stakeholders.
- Win Together - collaborate with Network Operations and wider teams to turn ideas into improvements that work in the real world.
- Make It Happen - take ownership of your projects, manage your own agenda, and turn analysis into action.
