TRAINEE PROGRAMS
Our trainee programs allow new team members to begin their careers with Builders FirstSource in an environment that allows them to train and develop their skills before landing permanent full-time roles. We offer programs in a number of career areas including:
SALES IN TRAINING (SIT) PROGRAM
Get exposed to all areas of the sales process. You’ll learn about business operations, products and services, estimating, building a customer base, working leads, and collaborating with vendors. You will also shadow Outside Sales Representatives (OSRs) to learn first-hand the fine art of selling BFS products and building trusted relationships with customers. At each phase of the program, you will have a point of contact to ensure you progress and stay on track.
MANAGER IN TRAINING (MIT) PROGRAM
This is a wonderful career opportunity where you are exposed to different jobs in the company. As you move through MIT, you will gain understanding of the importance and interconnectedness of every role at BFS in providing industry-leading products and services. You will experience how we approach everything with a “people-first” mentality. At each phase of this program, you will have a point of contact to ensure you progress and stay on track.
DESIGNER IN TRAINING (DIT) PROGRAM
This is a great program if you’re looking to start a career in construction! At BFS, we design and manufacture trusses, creating precise angles and pitches that meet specific building codes. They are shipped from our facilities to jobsites for framers to install – helping homes across the country get built faster. As a Designer in Training, you’ll learn how to read construction plans and use 3D design software to create truss design and placement drawings. If you are a detail-oriented, creative problem-solver and enjoy seeing the results of your work in real life, we encourage you to apply!
