Rikke Burla Lukman, Project Manager, Denmark
What do you enjoy most about your work?
What I really enjoy about my work is making a positive difference on a project. I love the office part, where I strategize and plan out the project just as much as being on the building site for meetings and talking to our clients or subcontractors. I also enjoy the fact that I years after a project can point at the building and say “I made that happen”.
What do you strive for in the future in your line of work?
In the future I hope more women would join me in this line of work, even though I know it isn’t for everyone. Being a woman on a building site, I always have the experience that I get another kind of respect – and it’s always the positive kind, so I never get tired of vising the projects on site.
Mia Harstad, Junior Field Project Engineer, Norway
What do you enjoy most about your work?
I really enjoy being able to work with so many different projects and subjects over time and get to balance my private life and work life. I also appreciate that there is almost a 50/50 distribution of office days and on site days.
What do you strive for in the future in your line of work?
I have not figured out exactly what I would like to do in the future, but I would believe somewhat of the same that I already do – but on a bigger scale. To engage in new, exciting projects, and using my knowledge to develop the best solutions for the customer while taking care of their wanted outcomes.
Annabel Schoenmakers, Trainee Technician, the Netherlands
What do you enjoy most about your work?
Everyday is always different and always innovative; I am continuously learning.
What do you strive for in the future in your line of work?
I previously worked in the cultural heritage sector. It would be a nice combination to do my next project there.
