About the Role

Join Burgess Farms and kick-start your career in food manufacturing. As an Operations Graduate, you’ll gain valuable hands-on experience within our operations team, developing a clear understanding of how our production environment works.

Alongside your role, you’ll also take part in the Discovery Elevate Programme – a one-year graduate development programme designed to build the foundations of leadership and management. Through tailored training, coaching, and skills development, you’ll gain the tools and confidence to accelerate your career and become a future leader.
