Macclesfield
The Macclesfield Campus is an essential part of AstraZeneca’s UK Operation and the 2nd largest operational site within the company’s global network. It is approx. 100 acres with around 4500 people working on site. The site is unique in the AstraZeneca network having Operations, R&D, G&A, IT and others on its site.
About the Apprenticeship Programme
As a member of an occupier-side Real Estate team you will be given exposure to a range of areas to put your technical Real Estate knowledge into day-to-day use. The AstraZeneca business:
has multiple asset types (office, laboratory, manufacturing and warehouse) with different optimisation challenges
operates on a global basis (168 sites in 65 countries) with different social and cultural influences
supports the working environments for approx. 83,500 employees
occupies a Real Estate portfolio of 2.8M m2
with an asset cost of approx. $1bn
By understanding the AZ business and internal customers’ strategies, you will get to provide Real Estate solutions to them that optimise the assets they use for their business activities. You'll get to manage their portfolio of assets for them and where appropriate perform investment appraisals that make balanced recommendations to them with respect to the appropriate Real Estate solution for their needs. You will need to incorporate financial and non-financial arguments, including topical Real Estate issues such as sustainability and workplace experience into the recommendation.
In conjunction with our external Real Estate providers you will see how they bring their expertise to asset valuations, market assessments and assist in negotiations.
You will experience and learn the importance of softer skills in a business context. You will learn the importance of influencing the business, so they see and acknowledge your technical expertise. Throughout the apprenticeship you will fine tune your communication, analysis, problem solving and influencing skills.
Training and Development
AstraZeneca will sponsor you through your Real Estate BA (Hons) degree at Nottingham Trent University.
The apprenticeship combines working, earning a full-time salary, with fully-funded part-time university learning (on average 1 day/week). This will give you the opportunity to gain a Real Estate qualification, just as you would if you went to university full-time, with the advantage of gaining relevant work-life skills and the excitement of helping to develop new medicines whilst taking your first steps towards a rewarding career.
We truly value Early Talent – their thoughts, ideas and contributions. So throughout the programme, you’ll be encouraged and inspired to speak up, have a voice and make an impact.
