OUR AUGER ACADEMY
90% of our colleagues have benefitted from the Academy by accessing accredited training, external certification and higher qualification…
TRAINING OUR ENGINEERS
We recruit those who have no relevant experience or qualifications into our Academy as Assistant Engineers. Following in-depth training in the ‘Auger way’ through one-to-one mentoring from one of our Senior Engineers, our Assistants graduate to become established Lead Engineers. We ensure our team stay up to date with all required external tickets and qualifications, and provide in-house training through our bespoke platform, The Hub.
TRAINING OUR OFFICE TEAM
We provide our new and existing colleagues with the opportunity to pursue higher education or qualification alongside their day-to-day role. This has included working towards CIMA or AAT qualifications, studying to become Chartered Engineers, Surveyors or Loss Adjusters, and undertaking certified courses in Marketing, HR, Data Analysis, Business Management and Supply Chain Management.
TRAINING OUR LEADERS
All leaders at Auger began in entry-level positions, and have developed their leadership skills during their time with us. In 2023, our Leadership Team completed a 12-month program with Executive Coach Martin Craven, enhancing their confidence and refining their leadership style. We offer a guided development pathway for future leaders in order to strengthen our leadership structure from within, and support workforce growth.
As a member of The 5% Club, we are committed to 5% of our workforce being in ‘earn and learn’ positions including apprentices, graduates and degree placement students.
As over 30% of our colleagues are currently working towards qualifications as part of their role, we were re-accredited with the Gold Standard in late 2023.
We are also a member of the Youth Employment Charter.
“The outstanding mentorship that I've received from my colleagues has allowed me to enhance my career prospects and achieve things I didn't think were possible when I joined the Auger team.”
Callum Ridgway
Technical Manager
“As an Academy Engineer I felt fully supported, and I learnt so many new skills that I now use every day on site. The Academy allowed me to build my confidence in areas where I lacked experience, and provided me with a support network that I know I can rely on following my graduation.”
Ryan Sumner
Drain Repair Engineer
“Auger have enabled me to pursue my Level 4 in Professional Digital Marketing, alongside leading my own department day-to-day. Being given this opportunity has allowed me to excel in my career beyond what I had imagined after only 3 years.”
