Sorry, I don't know enough about it to tell you, and I suspect it'll be different here in NZ anyway.

As with all jobs career progression is based on proven ability to do the job that they are doing, well, a demonstrated potential to do a more senior job and a clear demonstration of self starting capabilities ie getting on with what needs to be done without having to be told to do it. plus of course the existence of an opportunity for promotion.  This may of course require a person to change employers but is not essential.
