Graduate scheme expanded for Ordnance Survey

Ordnance Survey is seeking seven graduates for its 2014 recruitment scheme, to lead on developing innovative solutions for digital data.

The successful candidates will help to collect, maintain and distribute accurate and up to date geographic information for the whole country. This data can be used to support emergency services with road network details, or produce paper maps and digital apps for walkers and cyclists.

Ordnance Survey's head of human resources, Nadine Prior, said: “This year we've expanded our graduate scheme and we are looking for seven exceptional, results driven graduates to push the boundaries of what we do, challenge our thinking, develop our people and help us create the products and services of tomorrow.

“We recognise that not all graduates will have a clear idea of where to take their careers and for the first time, for five of our roles, our scheme offers the chance to work in several key business areas alongside our specialists, developing skills and knowledge. At the end of the two- year programme, we will help our five graduates decide where their passion and skills fit best in our organisation and find them the right career at Ordnance Survey.

“For those already decided on their career path, we have two graduate trainee positions in Human Resources and Policy and Engagement.”

The starting salary for the graduate scheme is £22,216 and you can apply here.
