Training & Personal Development at AECOM New Zealand

6.6
6.6 rating for Training, based on 39 reviews
Please describe the training programmes at your company and tell us what skills you've picked up.
The graduate training annoys me because it's based off an Australian curriculum and sitting in conferences all day can be boring.

AECOM encourages training both internally and externally. There is a budget set purely for training that is not provided by AECOM. The graduate program gave us training as well (report writing legal, client engagement, career pathways and much more)

Since you are put in the deep end picking up new skills may be difficult at first, but in the long run it is helpful for work related personal development. I picked up skills on multiple different modelling software, also in excel, report writing, training on soft skills too.

Would have liked to have had more specific training in planning and upskilled when it was quiet but I was just left to my own devices most of the time to "do my own research"

Over the 2 year graduate programme there were infrequent sessions and most of them were online over a Teams call. The content was sometimes generic corporate stuff. Most technical training was done on the job with more senior engineers who will give you their time if youre lucky.

There is endless training available - Mostly through AECOM University.

I am lucky enough that my boss set up the internal training for grad and early professional for technical knowlegde.

AECOM university has a large range of courses for people to complete in their own time.

Have been fortunate enough to do lots of training since joining AECOM this year. Have picked up a lot of software skills including CAD and 12d which is essential to my work in my opinion. As well as AECOM university training which has been great to pick up some soft skills through.

We have an early professional program that takes 2 years to complete. Most are online training sessions which are easy enough. Most skills in the first few years are on the job developed, I have had deep dives into excel, QGIS and ArcGIS. I have also had some opportunities to gain skills in safety Audits, with an allowance for formal training to occur next year. I have developed skills with clients, land use planning, safety, transport planning as well as more soft skills.

The grad programme is pretty average when it comes to training, however I did the MAP training and it was very good
Graduate, Auckland
There was a lot at the start, however a couple months in not so much just a lot of learning on the job
Graduate, Auckland
Yeah pretty good, hard to compare.
Professional, Wellington
Software training - learning how to use modelling software. Graduate training - learning the structure of the company and how to be client-focus. Safety training - improve mental health and physical health in working area.
Graduate, Hamilton
There have been many opportunities to train in both job specific and non-job specific fields
Graduate, Christchurch
A lot of it is online - which is good in terms of flexibility but I'd rather it in person and be interactive. the GPS training was good as it was in person - however it was a lot at once.
Graduate, Auckland
Mentor allocation of a technical lead. Online courses that are mandatory and available if wanted. Encouragement to go to other courses (e.g. Engineering NZ) and train outside of the company.
Graduate, Wellington
We have AECOM University accessible at any time. It is a great learning platform that is tailored to your profession. Everyone has the opportunity to learn Te Reo Māori and a bit about other disciplines as well
Graduate, Auckland
AECOM University modules help with training, along with other internal training that I had to accomplish before heading out on field (SiteSafe, etc.).
