Job Description

Build the Future, Not Just a Career: Management Apprentice at Travis Perkins
What You'll Do:
This isn't just an apprenticeship; it's your entry into the engine room of the UK construction industry. We're offering you the chance to lay the foundations for an exceptional management career with the UK's largest builders merchant.
Forget the mundane 9-to-5. Our bespoke, 24-month scheme is a fast-track immersion into our dynamic operations. You'll gain a deep, hands-on understanding of the entire merchanting lifecycle, rotating through all branch areas and moving rapidly into a management development pathway designed to equip you with the skills needed to lead a high-performing team.
You'll be right in the thick of the action, playing a pivotal role in our team. From managing stock in the yard to mastering sales techniques on the trade counter, handling phone enquiries and emails, and even shadowing our delivery drivers, you'll cover it all. You'll become an indispensable expert our customers rely on.

• Year 1 Focus: Dive deep into the specialist merchant industry, market dynamics, and our business strategy. You'll become a product guru and a customer service superstar, all while embedding our 'safety first' approach.
• Year 2 Focus: Hone your leadership style and master the art of inspiring and motivating a team.

Your learning is 'on the job,' supported by a dedicated apprenticeship coach who provides 1:1 coaching, mentoring, and technical training. Successfully complete your end point assessments to achieve 2 L3 Apprenticeships and fast-track your progression with us.
(P.S. You can hear more on this from our current colleagues . We're consistently rated as one of the best apprenticeship employers on Rate My Apprenticeship!)
What You'll Bring:
No experience in merchanting is necessary. If you bring the right attitude, a hunger to learn, and the genuine drive to build a career alongside any customer service facing experience, we will teach you the rest.
We are looking for people who are:

• Safety Conscious: Keeping our colleagues safe and well is our number one priority.
• Hard Working & Team Spirited: This environment is demanding and fast-paced. Be ready to 'muck in,' get your hands dirty, and support your team.
• Customer Focused: You understand what great service looks like and are ready to deliver it.
• Adaptable: Thrive in a dynamic, ever-changing environment as you move across different operations.
• Authentic: "You be you, it makes us us." Let your personality and passion shine.

You also need to be able to drive and have access to your own vehicle.
