AF focuses on management development and believes that managers must have the ability and will to see the possibilities, take responsibility, make decisions and bear risks.
The best development of managers, in our opinion, occurs through presence and participation in the operating organisations, and at AF this training process occurs best out on our projects.
Recruitment
AF views it as being a great advantage to have your management career begin as a foreman, with direct responsibility for groups of tradesmen. This is the best basis for understanding our culture and our values. In your daily management training, you will have a “trainer” who can give you advice and guidance when you feel you need it.
Education
In addition to development through operations, we have an educational programme comprising six steps, which are held either centrally within the corporate group or at external training centres.
Career progression
In the operational organisation, normal career development would entail:
- Project engineer
- Foreman
- Operation Manager
- Construction Manager
- Project Manager
- Project Director
- Department Director
- Director
Specialists
Not everyone wants to be a manager; however, a company such as AF always has a need for specialists. These are employees who look after special and necessary functions in the operations and at the head office, and a number of these functions also involve management responsibility. Our company is on the leading edge with respect to specialist functions. These can include:
- Surveying Engineers
- Contract Engineers
- Planning Engineers
- QA / HSE Engineers
- Project Planning Managers
- Project Economists
