Why should you join @Seymour Whyte 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. 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 Seymour Whyte 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.
