Join our two-year General Management Graduate Programme and help shape a more sustainable future in the built environment, where smarter, greener solutions are not just the goal, but the standard. 

About the Programme  

This isn’t your typical graduate scheme. It’s a fast-track launchpad designed to grow future leaders. 

Over four hands-on rotations, you’ll dive deep into the core areas of our Polypipe Building Services business (part of the Genuit Group), gaining real experience where it counts: 

• Customer Operations 

• Sales & Marketing 

• Finance 

• A specialism of your choice 

Each placement offers the chance to step out of your comfort zone, build new skills, and see how a business drives change — all while working towards a more sustainable built environment.  

Why Sustainability Matters  

Sustainability isn’t a buzzword for us — it’s built into everything we do. From carbon reduction initiatives to community-focused projects, you’ll be part of a team that’s rethinking how buildings are made, used, and maintained. You’ll work on real-world challenges that matter, with the chance to leave a lasting impact.  

What’s in it for you? 

• Work on live projects that influence key decisions 

• Be mentored by industry leaders and sustainability champions 

• Get structured training in leadership, commercial strategy, and ESG principles 

• Join a supportive graduate community 

• Build a clear path into permanent management roles after the programme 

This is more than experience — it’s a head start!
