CBRE believes a core strategy to accelerate the growth of its thriving Industrial & Logistics (I&L) business is to offer its clients in this sector sophisticated supply chain consulting services. Towards that end, we are looking for a Supply Chain Consultant to support our team and help execute client engagements that result in both growing team revenues as well as substantial growth in the I&L business.
Who Are You?
You are in the relatively early stages of your business career, but you know what you want. You want to work for a large, global company that is going places.

You do not view yourself as pure sales nor operations, but rather someone seeking experience and exposure to both realms. You may have had coursework or work experience in supply chain, but have not yet risen to the level of subject matter expert. However, you want to leverage that knowledge in the next phase of your career.
