 We aim to create successful long
term business relationships across all our contact
points, from our clients to our suppliers, from our in
house staff to our contractors, all are ingredients
towards our continuing success. And we provide several
roads to joining Èpeus.
The
Student
A difficult road faces a young
person dealing with an uncertain future, and we are
committed to a proactive response to this difficulty to
encourage a future generation of project specialists.
We offer a summer placement scheme
to select students on a yearly basis. We hope that once
on board with us, you will elect to return to us every
summer and lay a firm foundation toward becoming a part
of our graduate training program. Our placements will
pay a wage, reducing the need to find other sources of
income and allowing our students to concentrate on
adding value to our clients while developing
professionally.
Besides those specialising in
project management theory, this program is open to
undergraduates in engineering, business/finance, and
law.
As well as our undergraduates,
we are also interested in individuals who have elected
to further their particular aspirations by returning to
study. Our interest applies whether you are studying in
a related discipline or have diverged from your ‘core
competencies’ to change the direction of your career
path. We can offer postgraduate students a defined
‘placement’ to provide an opportunity to demonstrate
their abilities to us as well as allowing you to form an
opinion of us.
The
Graduate Trainee
The graduate trainee program is
expected to last 2 years with the focus on your further
practical education and personal development. During
this period, you will be expected to study and pass
exams on various ‘in-house’ subjects. The level and
content of the subject matter will become increasingly
complex.
During the program, you will work
with more experienced personnel representing the range
of talents within the organisation. These “mentors” will
serve as your guides and a source of encouragement to
you. The mentors are expected to prepare you for the
next stage of your career, through practical ‘live’
experience across a variety of projects.
When this phase is complete, you
will find yourself beginning to operate as a member of a
project team – carrying out your assigned role and
responsibilities on projects that could be anywhere
around the world.
At this stage of your career path,
you will be expected to choose a designated ‘initial
interest stream’. The intention here is to allow
specialisation within a particular area of project
management that is of interest to you or in which you
feel you may have a natural inclination. This
‘specialist stream’ is expected to last 12 months but
could vary.
The following years will follow the
same pattern – with the company rewarding you along the
way. While we do not require you to complete all the
specialist areas within a 36 month period, we do require
that you complete the ‘initial interest stream’ and
begin to specialise.
Ultimately, you can attain the most
senior level of employee – our consultants.
The
Practical Student
Coupled with the Student Placement
schemes, we recognise that you may have talent and
initiative and, for one reason or another, have never
pursued a formal degree. Perhaps you are about to
demobilise from the military and are unsure as to what
to do next. We can evaluate whether your skills and our
company would be a fit, and invite you to consider the
opportunity.
The
Contractor
Some talented and experienced
individuals, for a variety of reasons would be happy to
work for the organisation as a contractor – without
giving up their own identities and future plans. If you
share our goals, yet desire to remain independent, you
can be an important part of Èpeus. We will welcome your
input and see to it that you too benefit from a range of
performance related enhancements. Regardless of path,
all employees must complete a 1 year probationary
period. This period of time allows all parties to
confirm that the choices made have been good ones.
