Investing In People
As a diverse and growing company, we know what it takes to be successful – talented people that grow with us and deliver innovation, ingenuity and smart solutions to the advantage of our clients. We invest in our people to ensure they have an opportunity to grow, personally and professionally. It’s just one way we put Our Thiess values into practice.
Our varied programs continue to build our employees’ capabilities and help establish talent pipelines throughout the business. These span training and development for undergraduates, an apprenticeship scheme, technical and functional management programs as well as leadership programs for our industry leaders of tomorrow.
As part of expanding the capacity of our industries, Thiess Services is a Registered Training Organisation developing programs and providing certification in the electrical supply industry. These programs, along with developing pathways to transfer employees and their electrical licences to other states, actively increase the number of linesmen in Australia. These programs bridge gaps in training, save costs, improve productivity and enhance integration with our clients. Investing in our people helps drive success.
Leadership Programs
Leaders play a critical role in the success of any operation. Our leadership programs are designed to support emerging leaders in their personal development and enhance their abilities. These programs consider the role of knowledge, skills and influence in achieving tangible business results in rapidly changing environments.
The programs train people in key areas such as team management, change leadership, personal development, long term strategic planning and corporate social responsibility. They also help people understand how their leadership style impacts on their workplace and how to inspire others to lead the changes required for business growth and transformation.
Beyond our leadership programs, we have a series of internal award programs that recognise outstanding leadership and encourage the next generation of leaders.
Apprenticeship Scheme
Investing in the next generation of workers is integral to playing our part as a socially responsible company. We also believe in realising individual potential.
Our apprenticeship and traineeship scheme is about young people learning on the job and getting the advantage of exceptional training with the security of paid work. They gain recognised qualifications through our partnerships with local TAFEs or Registered Training Organisations while learning practical skills and accessing opportunities to work on some of our biggest projects throughout Australia.
They start out with an induction program founded in real project principles – learning the importance of teamwork as well as technical skills. When they have finished the program, they are supported in gaining a placement with one of Thiess’ exciting projects.
