MOST REWARDING &
COMPANY IMPACT
THE SUMMER WORK
The most rewarding part of my internship is knowing that my work makes a significant impact on the organization. Since Mota-Engil’s HR department is in a transition
stage, it operates like a start-up and demands quick thinking, flexibility, and change. Every bit of work contributes to
something concrete and important. My work is my mark on the company.
• Framework for Ireland’s HR department
• Onboarding structure that will eventually be applied on an international scale
FINAL THOUGHTS
THE SUMMER WORK Interning with the Mota-Engil Group’s HR department
has led me to appreciate the crucial role of HR in a company, especially one of Mota-Engil’s size and scope.
While I have still not decided my specific career path, HR
is definitely on the list of options. My love and appreciation for other cultures only
increased during this experience, despite how difficult some of the communications have been.
I recommend this internship without hesitation - it has
been a precious experience that helped me develop as a professional and gave me the opportunity to make a
significant impact on a company. In addition, I had the best colleagues, best food, in the best city.
