Flexible Working Hours

We understand that sometimes the 8am to 5pm day is not going to work for everyone. We need time and energy for important life aspects outside the workplace.

That’s why Niko fully supports a healthy work/life balance for all our employees. 

Recognition

Niko celebrates and awards long service. We recognise a job well done and celebrate our employee’s outstanding contributions.

Skin In The Game

Niko’s unique company structure gives qualifying employees the opportunity to own shares in the company, allowing them to have a say in how the company is managed and a share in the company’s success by way of dividend payments.

Learning never stops

We support our employees in expanding their knowledge and skills in various ways, including:

• Professional memberships: We support our staff staying in touch with their industry peers by way of attending training, seminars, and industry conferences.
• Internal Information Sharing sessions: Opportunity for employees to share knowledge, lessons, learned and innovative ideas.
• Coaching and Mentoring: Allows our developing engineers to be mentored by more experienced engineers.

The Niko team is proud of its unique and supportive work environment. Regularly, we gather and socialise, being happy to spend time together outside of work!

• All offices host Beer & Pizza evenings.
• A bi-annual Family Weekend brings everyone together for two nights to enjoy funded activities for all the family.
