We believe that if you develop your people, they will develop the company.
A career at Livingstone comes with an opportunity to grow and develop if you are up for the challenge. We are passionate about providing our team with the tools and resources to advance in their career and reach their full potential.
As a key employer of apprentices and cadets in our regions, we recognise the importance of growing the capability of the construction workforce and supporting rangatahi to develop skills for a long-term career in construction. Our dedicated Career Development Manager works alongside our Apprentices, in conjunction with BCITO, to develop comprehensive career plans to support them through their apprenticeships.
Alongside our Apprenticeship Programme, we provide Cadetship opportunities for Quantity Surveyors, Project Managers, and Site Managers. This programme provides practical work experience and allows individuals to learn from skilled and experienced members of our team.
We work with Schools and Iwi across our regions to encourage and expose students to a wide range of career pathways within the construction industry and provide them with a pathway to gain practical skills and knowledge as they progress from school to the workplace.
Students experience a range of roles across the industry from Health and Safety, Quantity Surveying, Project Management and Operations.
Students gain practical experience working on a construction site and experience roles that would be typical of a first-year apprentice.
We encourage and support the advancement of our people to reach their full potential. It is important to us that our team can visualise an achievable pathway to progress in their career, and we provide the leadership and training opportunities to get them there. Our Career Development Manager works with individuals to identify and develop personalised pipelines.
We know potential when we see it. We strive to develop our future leaders by giving them the necessary skills, capabilities, and confidence to lead our teams to success. Which is why we’ve developed a bespoke Leadership Programme in collaboration with the University of Waikato. Each programme will support our future leaders to gain a nationally recognised qualification which aligns with our core values.
We handpick future leaders from across all areas of Livingstone to join our leadership programme.
A 12-month foundation course, in collaboration with the University of Waikato, to develop leadership principles and techniques.
Participants will be exposed to a range of leadership skills, and these will be developed, applied, and refined at various stages throughout their time at Livingstone.
A 12-month programme, in collaboration with the University of Waikato, to build upon leadership principles and techniques in relation to higher decision making.
Participants will create an understanding of the collaborative actions taken at a senior management level. They will develop confidence in who they are as a leader and set clear goals that will improve their influence and accelerate their career.
A 12-month programme, in collaboration with the Institute of Directors, aimed at those looking to further develop their leadership in governance and stategic planning.
Participants will develop an understanding of the collaborative actions taken at a governance level. The programme provides an opportunity to participate on a board, developing skills to influence strategy and its implementation.
We develop our team to ensure they can perform to the best of their abilities. We do this by continuous support and learning conversations. Using training apps InforMe and EdApp we can monitor performance in role competencies and offer bespoke training to our team.
