Fast Track Management Trainee Programme
Build Your Career From the Ground Up
Let’s be honest: you’ve probably never considered a career with a builders merchant. You might be picturing muddy boots and dusty bricks and while we do have those, there’s a much bigger picture.
Travis Perkins is the UK’s largest distributor of building materials. We are a multi-billion-pound business that helps build the infrastructure of the UK, from homes and schools to hospitals. Right now, we’re looking for ambitious future leaders to join us.
Some of our top Regional Directors started on the branch floor. They didn't start with a fancy corporate title; they built their careers here step by step. This isn't a typical, hands-off graduate scheme, it's a real-world, fast-track leadership route.
Salary: Competitive salary + performance bonus + comprehensive benefits package
Programme: 2 year structured Management Trainee Programme
Working Hours: Mon–Fri, 7:30am–5:00pm + alternate Saturday mornings (8:00am–12:00pm)
Requirements: A full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle
Experience Required: None. We hire for potential, drive, and attitude, we’ll teach you the rest.
Forget coffee runs and admin duties. This is an immersive, hands-on commercial experience. You’ll learn how a multi-million-pound business operates from the inside out rotating around different departments of branches:
Learn the Core Business: Work across the warehouse, manage stock, and go on the road with delivery teams to understand our full supply chain.
Build Customer Relationships: Work directly with trade customers, handle sales on the counter, and learn how commercial deals happen.
Develop Leadership Skills: Shadow experienced Branch Managers to learn financial management, operational safety, and how to lead a high-performing team.
Who We're Looking For
Natural Leaders: People who communicate well and bring great energy to a team.
Action-Oriented Thinkers: You thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy practical problem-solving.
Team Players: You care about working safely and looking out for the people around you.
Clear Career Progression: A defined pathway toward running your own branch and beyond.
Mentorship: Direct support and coaching from senior leaders who want you to succeed.
Stability: Long-term job security with a market-leading UK brand.
Inclusive Workplace: Travis Perkins is an equal opportunities employer. If you require any adjustments during the application process, just let us know.
Ready to Start?
While everyone else is competing for generic office roles, you could be fast-tracking your way into commercial leadership. Bring your ambition, we’ll provide the platform.
