Learning and development
Our people are provided genuine opportunities to grow their careers.
Our approach
Through tailored training, industry accreditation, online learning and in-person development programs, we help our teams build the skills they need to succeed now and into the future.
Apprenticeships
Niepe partners with industry training organisations to provide on-the-job learning opportunities. Our carpentry and bridge construction apprentices work alongside experience Niepe tradespeople while completing nationally recognised qualifications.
Formwork Program
The Formwork Program brings together an identified group of promising and capable site personnel and equips them with the skills and tools to be future leaders in our business. The program is designed to strengthen the self-performing capabilities that these individuals already display and encourage them on a path of successful future leadership at Niepe.
Fortitude Program
The Fortitude Program is designed to grow the skills of identified emerging leaders within our business. Delivered over 18 months across five modules, this specialised program helps take participants’ careers to the next level to become innovative thinkers, supportive and empathetic managers, and dynamic leaders.
Evolve Program
The Evolve initiative is a carefully curated program of learning delivered through a series of workshops, each focused on unique elements of interpersonal intelligence and how they support leadership and our teams. It’s a powerful professional development course aimed at cultivating a highly collaborative, and innovative workforce.
Chartered Status for engineers
In conjunction with Engineers Australia, Niepe provides our people with a structured program of professional development to achieve Chartered Status – the pinnacle accreditation for engineers being an internationally recognised measure of excellence. Chartered Status is applicable to all forms of engineering work and opens doors for further opportunities at Niepe.
Group transfer opportunities
We’re all part of #TeamBMD, and that means employees have the flexibility to transfer between a variety of business units including BMD, Empower, Urbex and JMac. Our unique integrated structure allows our people to broaden their skill sets, explore diverse roles, and take on new challenges across different sectors of the group. It’s just one of the ways we power our people to create legacies.
Chartered Status for engineers
We’re proud to be an industry leader in professional development and this agreement with Engineers Australia is an important investment in the careers of our engineers.
At Niepe, we show commitment to our employees by providing them with professional development opportunities across all disciplines with full subsidies available for relevant approved courses.
