Fast Track Management Trainee Programme
Build Your Career From the Ground Up
(Must be available on Wednesday 23rd September to attend an assessment centre)
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.
Key Details
- Salary: Competitive salary + performance bonus + comprehensive benefits package
- Programme: 2 year structured Management Trainee Programme
- Location: Lee Green
- 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.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What You’ll Actually Be Doing
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.
