IT STARTS WITH OPPORTUNITY.

CAREER & PROGRESSION

We understand that everyone sees opportunity differently and we're proud that at Knauf we see opportunity in everyone.

For any stage in your career

Finding the right opportunity is a personal journey. As we are all unique, we all look for a different ‘recipe’ of requirements from a business and within a role to see if it could be the right opportunity for us.

At Knauf, we understand that we cannot address everyone’s ‘recipe’ list individually, but we can be trustworthy, authentic, and hands-on in our approach to foster an environment where high performance thrives within a safe space.

PEOPLE STORIES

I joined Knauf just over 5 years ago as a project specification manager. Knauf is an organisation which offers opportunities for everyone to foster and grow both professionally and personally. I have learnt a lot over the years, not only within my own domain but there has been a lot of cross functional learning which has helped in my overall growth in my career. As a company Knauf have a very positive approach to employee wellbeing and have an excellent culture which really shows across all areas of the business.

Portfolio Manager - Exteriors & Adjacencies

“I have been with Knauf 6 and a half years now, coming to Knauf was the best career decision I have ever made. Since arriving at Knauf I have always been supported with my career progression and given all the tools and training I have needed to develop my skills. I have been given a number of different opportunities within the company, I started as a mobile plant operator. After working hard I took an opportunity to become a Lead operator. Whilst being in that role I was given some good training opportunities and went on some courses to help my personal development which has set me up for my next step within the company. I am now currently in an interim shift manager role, learning lots of new skills as a person and within the business. Knauf looks after their staff well and make us feel appreciated. It is a great company to work for with great values.”

Sam Batt

Interim Shift Manager
My journey at Knauf has been full of growth and opportunity. I started in Customer Service before moving into Internal Sales, where I broadened my skills in communication and sales. This prepared me for my current role in the Technical Team, where I continue to develop my technical expertise. Knauf truly values personal and professional development. There’s always room to grow, and the support here allows you to get as much out of your role as you put in. The welcoming environment and recognition for hard work make it an exciting place to build a future.
