For training, careers and futures with promise, the Portakabin Group offers an exceptional learning and working environment. Whatever your career path or career hopes, the Portakabin Group can provide the opportunities to nurture them.

Over the past 45 years, the Portakabin Group has established itself as a market leader in the manufacture of quality solutions, for a broad range of industry sectors. As a result, our working environment is progressive and offers diverse opportunities. Today, Portakabin is an exciting and profitable private company with a proud history and promising future.

Portakabin is part of the respected Shepherd Group that has been in business since 1890. By the end of the 1970s, the Shepherd Group had grown to become one of the 500 largest companies in the UK and is now one of the largest family-owned private companies in the European building industry. The Shepherd Group employs around 3,500 people and has operations divided into three divisions - Manufacturing, Construction and Property. Portakabin is a part of the manufacturing division (see our ‘About Us' section for further details).

As a world-class business, we are acutely aware that our future success is drawn from the qualities, skills and strengths of the people who work here. At Portakabin we employ more than 600 people at our Head Office and Manufacturing Centre in the beautiful city of York and more than 700 people in our Hire Centre network across the UK and continental Europe.

Because we design, manufacture, transport, refurbish, market, sell, hire and maintain all our own solutions, the variety of positions and training available is as vast as the processes we use and the industries we serve.

Essential to the quality of our solutions are the people who work in specification, design and planning functions. We also employ a large team of skilled commercial professionals, who generate enquiries, orders and repeat business. Add to this the teams within our corporate support functions such as IT, Finance, Human Resources and Marketing and you have a picture of a diverse and exciting environment for your training and/or employment.

If you have the abilities, experience, drive and commitment to apply for any of our current vacancies, then we want to hear from you. Our selection procedures ensure that all applicants are treated fairly and with respect; regardless of age, disability, employment status, gender, health, marital status, membership or non-membership of a trade union, nationality, race, religious belief or sexual orientation.
