Why should you join the OLRT and VINCI Construction as a VIE ?

We’ll give you three reasons why this opportunity might be perfect for you:

• You're starting your career – Looking for assignments that teach you something new every day?

Thanks to a VIE, what looks like 2 years on a resume is actually worth 5 years of experience. Léa, working in Toronto, says: “I'm learning so much, not only about the job and technical skills, but also about what it’s like to work in Canada. I feel like I’m discovering much more than I would in France at 25.” But if you’re uncomfortable stepping out of your comfort zone, this might not be for you.

• You need mentors to grow – Looking for a supportive work environment?

You’ll have experienced professionals guiding you and you’ll be part of Young Talents @VINCI Construction, a strong peer network. Thomas in New Zealand shares: “My manager made me feel part of the team from day one, and ensures I progress every day.” But if you prefer working solo and don’t enjoy teamwork, this might not be the right fit.

• You are looking for an environment which will keep you on your toes, make you wonder what’s the next challenge ahead?

Considered as a fully-fledged member of the OLRT teams, you handle your own projects: it’s your call, your responsibility. Caroline, now on a local contract, says: “If I want more, they give me more.” But if you enjoy a well-oiled routine, you might feel uncomfortable with us.
