Full potential looks different for everyone, we work with our employees to understand what that means for them and work towards achieving their career goals.
A personalised on-boarding experience
Our onboarding process is extensive and will give you an overview of the entire business, not just your department, we feel it’s important that you understand all aspects of our company, not just what your role entails.
Our technicians undergo a thorough 6-month training in our training centre of excellence at our Birmingham head offices. Best in class, a mix of theory and practical study, mentoring and job shadowing with technical engineers and have your team leader for support day to day.
On the job training
Learning by doing is our approach, therefore you will find the majority of your training will be on the job focused, rather than attending external training.
Targeted development plans
We adopt a 70/20/10 approach to Individual Development Planning; this means that 70% of our employee’s development comes through stretched assignments and projects. 20% comes through learning through overs, and only 10% of development comes through formal training courses / programmes. This means the development is very targeted and enables our employees to develop at a quicker pace.
