Behind every successful technology project are talented people with the right skills.

Our customers rely on Computacenter to bring together consultants, project managers and technical specialists who can help solve their technology and business challenges.

Our Partner & Resource Management team makes this happen. Working across the UK and Europe, the team brings together our own people, international delivery teams and specialist technology partners to ensure our customers have the skills they need, when and where they need them.

As a graduate, you’ll be at the heart of this. You’ll learn how a global technology business plans its workforce, responds to customer demand and uses data, commercial thinking and strong relationships to make informed decisions.

During this 18-month rotational programme, you’ll experience three different areas of the team, giving you a broad understanding of how we turn customer demand into successful technology delivery. 

What you’ll do

Find the right people

• Work with colleagues to understand the skills and experience required for customer projects
• Help identify the right people from across our internal teams and specialist partner network
• Balance customer requirements with availability, cost and development opportunities for our people
• Build relationships with colleagues, stakeholders and external partners

Plan for future demand

• Work closely with our sales and delivery teams to understand upcoming customer demand
• Use data to forecast the skills and resources we’ll need
• Develop your understanding of workforce planning and commercial decision-making
• Analyse information and identify trends that support a great customer experience

Work with external partners

• Learn how we work with external organisations and specialist professionals
• Help bring additional skills and expertise into customer projects
• Support the development of strong partner relationships
• Understand the commercial considerations involved in selecting the right solution

Make an impact from the start

Alongside your rotations, you’ll take ownership of a real improvement project. This could focus on:

• Data and reporting
• AI and automation
• Process improvement
• Making better use of information to support decision-making

You’ll have the opportunity to turn an idea into something that could genuinely improve how the team works.

You’ll also work with colleagues across countries including the UK, France, Germany, Romania and India, giving you valuable exposure to how an international technology business operates.

What you’ll need

You don’t need previous experience in business operations or resource planning. We’ll teach you what you need to know.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Is degree educated in any subject, with any classification accepted
• Enjoys working with numbers and understanding the story behind the data
• Can manage several priorities and stay organised
• Communicates confidently and enjoys building relationships
• Is comfortable taking ownership and using initiative
• Enjoys solving problems and making informed decisions
• Is curious about how technology, AI and automation can improve how businesses work
• Wants to learn about the commercial side of a global technology organisation
• Is available to start the programme in September 2027
