FULTON Hogan Hiways has introduced a program that includes on-the-job training as well as workshops and seminars, which provide a pathway for promotion within the organisation.

This program also includes bringing in road specialists from overseas, to not only enhance the quality of work, but also to share international expertise that supports the FHH staff in their career development.

Company general manager Patrick Keenan said appointment of local civil engineer, Bhan Prakash, to the position of FHH operations manager was an endorsement of the program.

He said Mr Prakash had a total of 13 years experience in the roading industry and he began with FHH four years ago as a senior road inspector.

Mr Prakash was then promoted as Suva manager, mid-2015, and managed Suva Central Area Maintenance, until his latest promotion.

“FHH has a good plan in training locals to develop their skills. I have done leadership skill training, internally, and had coaching sessions with a senior manager to get upskilled,” said Mr Prakash.

“With a staff of 488, of which 97 per cent are locals, we’re providing enhanced training, with positive results in staff development in all sectors of our work. “We intend to continue these efforts to benefit both the JV and the wider construction and engineering industry,” said Mr Keenan.
