Foreseeable Outcomes & Strategic Value 

While site-level turnover in safety roles is typically low, this is not the case across the wider Müller group. By developing an intern at Droitwich — our largest operational site — we are equipping them with exposure to complex, high-volume safety operations. This experience will place them in strong contention for future HSE roles across the business, when opportunities arise. However, it’s important to note that such roles may be located at other sites nationally, and any future placement would depend on business needs and candidate mobility. 

Why Apply?  

This role is a fantastic opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.  

We want to ensure all candidates have every opportunity to shine. We’ll support you throughout the full application process. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make sure the assessment process works for you. We encourage you to apply ASAP!
