We are consistently strengthening our commitment to developing young talent and building a diverse, multi-generational team. Our company’s latest initiatives demonstrate that the future of the construction industry rests not only on technology and experience, but above all on people – their energy, ambition and fresh perspective.
On 1 April, you’ll be able to meet us at the Construction Job Fair organised by the Faculty of Civil Engineering at the Warsaw University of Technology. The event is aimed at students and graduates of technical universities – particularly those who see their future in construction and civil engineering. Our company’s stand will serve as a space for meetings, discussions and the first steps towards a career with one of Europe’s largest construction groups.
– We want to be close to young people who are just entering the job market. For us, this is not only an opportunity to present career opportunities, but above all to understand their perspectives and expectations. We believe that open dialogue with the younger generation allows us to better respond to the changing needs of the market and build a working environment in which they can develop, learn and have a real impact on the world around them. We want them to feel, right from the start of their career, that they are part of a team where their voice matters,” emphasises Monika Balewska, HR Director at Eiffage Polska Budownictwo.
Meanwhile, 30 March marked the conclusion of the first edition of the “Zillenials Academy” – a year-long, in-house training and mentoring programme aimed at Eiffage’s youngest employees. The programme focused on developing managerial skills, building self-confidence and preparing participants to take on more responsible roles within the organisation. The Academy is, above all, a tangible investment in the people who are already helping to shape the company’s future. Thanks to the support of mentors and a practical approach, participants were able to gain experience that goes beyond standard career paths.
Eiffage’s initiatives form part of a broader strategy to build a team based on diversity and intergenerational collaboration. Currently, 14% of the company’s workforce are under 30, which – combined with the experience of senior specialists – creates an environment conducive to knowledge exchange and development. It is also worth noting that as many as 44% of the team are women, which remains a significant distinguishing feature within the construction industry.
We believe that a modern organisation is one that not only builds infrastructure but also consciously develops people, giving them the space to grow, experiment and have a real impact on the shape of the company.
