SPECIAL PEOPLE
We operate a career programme whereby recent graduates start in operational areas where they are exposed to all facets of the business before being given areas of responsibility. Within the business we presently have over 80 graduates. They play an important role in the evolution of our business as they bring new ideas and challenge existing concepts.
The one thing we will not do is baby-sit our grads or hand their career to them on a platter. You are expected to prove yourself and will only be promoted on ability, not merely for the fact that you are a graduate.
You will start in an entry level position but we have found that this is the only way in which to impart all the necessary knowledge. Building your career from the ground up gains you the mana and respect of your workmates which becomes invaluable when you are managing people.
Mentoring and regular graduate meetings increase your profile within the business and become a great networking tool.
Within New Zealand most of our graduates will start in either Auckland, Hamilton, Mt Maunganui, Wellington or Christchurch but there are also positions available in smaller regional centres. Within Australia, opportunities are available in all states with the exception of the Northern Territory.
Overseas postings are available to our top graduates and with branches throughout New Zealand, Australia, Asia and the USA our graduates can operate on a global level.
Several times throughout the year we will have positions available throughout New Zealand and Australia and we encourage graduates from all disciplines.
