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. Vincent, working in Alberta, says: “I'm learning so much about different roles and how to manage a construction company, not just a project. I wouldn't have had this chance in France at 28.”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 be part of Young Talents @VINCI Construction, a strong peer network.Charles in Alberta shares: “My team welcomed me from day one, and my manager 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 HEB Construction team, 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.Check out what our current VIEs have to say.Critères candidatNiveau d'études min. requisBac +5Niveau d'expérience min. requisDébutantLanguesAnglais (C1 (maitrise))Localisation du posteLocalisation du posteOceánie, Nouvelle-ZélandeOUI = j'exclus l'adresse NON = je n'exclus pas l'adresseOuiAdresse & VilleWhangarei
