Here at Lemminkäinen, we like to invest in the active, long-term development of our employees. We offer a diverse selection of career opportunities and comprehensive training.
Educational cooperation
We engage in long-term cooperation with educational institutions of various levels as well as other construction industry actors to discover future professionals. We are able to influence the content of education and learning materials related to the construction industry. We recruit new employees through internship programmes and provide summer jobs for students and people who aim to work in the construction industry.
On-the-job learning
There are a number of construction industry vocations for which education is not provided by educational institutions. Therefore, the necessary skills must be acquired through on-the-job learning, supervised by skilled professionals who are the best in the industry. We have a long tradition of providing education and training for our employees.
We encourage our employees to complete basic and specialist vocational degrees, among other things. Acquiring a degree helps employees move their career forward and improves their know-how regarding versatile construction projects.
Construction sites are equipped with more demanding technological solutions. Due to the strong growth in the renovation construction sector we provide specialised training to our employees so that they can take part in the most demanding projects; such training is not possible through the traditional training methods provided by educational institutions. For instance, we provide training for senior installers and project managers for plumbing system renovations.
We also provide our own apprenticeship-based training or corresponding vocational training in all our business segments. Quite often these are the only path to obtaining an education in the manufacture and installation of construction materials as well as for certain maintenance duties.
Developing expertise in new technologies
We are continuously developing our expertise in new technological solutions, such as product modelling. We carry out development work in cooperation with our clients and business partners. Our goal is to take this cooperation even further and enhance it.
Internal development and career paths
We develop the Group-wide networks for transferring know-how and carrying out cooperation projects through our internal job rotation system. We also strive to identify future leaders within the Group’s organisation.
