Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive (GMPTE) is looking for three graduates to join its scheme, a two-year programme aimed at developing project managers, with permanent roles at GMPTE for successful candidates.

During the scheme, graduates will work in several project roles as well as experiencing work in other areas of the business.

Paul Griffiths, GMPTE’s interim projects director (pictured), said: “At GMPTE we plan and deliver some of the biggest construction projects in the North West.

“Among many other things we build transport interchanges, upgrade rail stations and are currently working on a £600m expansion of the Metrolink tram network. We want to hear from ambitious graduates who have the drive and determination to help us achieve our vision for transport.”

Christine Greenway, GMPTE’s head of human resources, said: “This is our first graduate scheme and it’s just the right time for it.

“Graduates will soon be leaving university to look for exciting and challenging jobs with lots of career potential and good benefits – and that’s exactly what we’re offering.

“We hope to expand the graduate recruitment scheme to other areas of the business in the future.”

Candidates must have achieved a degree, preferably in areas such as transport, engineering or construction, although other disciplines may also be considered.

Graduates can find out more and apply now at www.gmptegraduatejobs.com for the roles that are set to begin in September.

Two open days are also being held at GMPTE’s head office in 2 Piccadilly Place in Manchester city centre, on;

Friday, April 17 between 12:30pm – 4.30pm and
Friday, May 8, between 1pm – 5pm
