    Patrick joined Murphy in 2018 as part of the graduate programme, predominantly working in M5 Construction & Property, and more recently in the M2 Transportation sector. Over the past two years he has been delivering subcontract procurement on the CP6 Anglia Framework, for a range of schemes across the Structures, Earthworks, Buildings and E&P disciplines. Patrick has also recently achieved MCIPS accreditation.

    The Graduate programme has allowed Patrick to experience procurement activities across a diverse range of projects, and the opportunity to complete MCIPS qualifications has proved to be hugely beneficial in his current role.

    Buyer

    Natalie has worked at Murphy for over 2 years now and completed her procurement qualification as part of the Murphy graduate programme in August 2021. Her full time role is a Buyer in the Central Procurement Team.

    With no prior experience in the construction industry, the graduate scheme at Murphy gave Natalie a variety of involvements across the different business units. Initially beginning in Murphy Plant, the training was on the use of Murphy systems, integrating into the company and following processes which paves the way for a successful career within Murphy. Natalie also was part of the M4 Material and Subcontract teams, again learning something completely new and allowing for involvement with multiple stakeholders within the business and high value projects. Finally, the placement in the Central Procurement Team led to Natalie’s choice of full time role. Natalie enjoys how there is a variety of requirements in Central, which can change day to day, whilst also being part of major framework agreements which are group wide.

    Lucy joined Murphy as a graduate in September 2020 and is currently working on the Hochtief Murphy Joint Venture, London Power Tunnels 2, helping to delivery material and subcontract packages for National Grid.

Alongside this, Lucy has also been studying for her level 4 CIPS accreditation which will further improve her procurement knowledge.

    Luke has now been at Murphy just over a year after joining in September 2020. He is currently delivering material and subcontract packages as part of the Trans-Pennine Route upgrade improving rail connectivity in the north and the Rail Electrification Alliance which aims to fully electrify the East Coast Mainline between Edinburgh and London.

    The graduate programme has allowed Luke to rotate around different parts of Murphy's overall procurement function and has given him the platform to develop by being part of several teams. This has involved material buying for the M2 transportation team, focusing mainly on earthworks, being entrusted with Murphy Utilities, and gaining an in-depth knowledge of the strategic side of the business in the Central Procurement Team.

    He is on his first graduate rotation which will end early 2022; where he will then transition into the TRU/REAL Alliance, a challenge he is looking forward to.
