Fast Track Management Programme

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: Epsom
• 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.

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.
