Career in Litana group of companies

I would like to emphasize that when I first travelled to Finland in 2011 I was absolutely sure this task was only temporary and it would be completed in 9 months. However, we managed to obtain additional work to do and all work had finished by the end of 2018. As a result, Finland has become my home. My daughter indeed has grown up there. Today I’ve begun new challenges and goals – to lead and develop Litana Group in Finland. It’s interesting and challenging, plus making my own decisions then have the freedom to act on them are among the factors that motivate me.’

When I started working as a Projects Manager, I didn’t think much about career. I was captivated by the new challenges, unpredictable turns, motivation and support from management. Therefore, I even didn‘t realize how unexpectedly I suddenly became a subdivision director. Now I‘m captivated by the same things. I’d like to motivate other colleagues to create both personal and company‘s success together.”

One day a friend told me about his experience at Litana, a multinational company whose projects I found fascinating. I didn't believe I could get into such a company, but curiosity won out. I sent in my CV, was pleasantly surprised when I was invited to a job interview, and couldn't believe it when I was offered to join the team. Once I started working, I felt that my knowledge and skills were being put to the right use. Even as an assistant, I had the opportunity to contribute to the organisation of the construction process and make design decisions. With each new project I gained more experience and confidence. The day came when I was offered the opportunity to become a project manager myself and take on an impressive first project - the European Spallation Source (ESS), a 550 metre building in Sweden. I won't lie, it was really scary, but with the support of my family and colleagues, I accepted the challenge.  Get ready, the path in the Litana Group is full of challenges, but each of them leads to important lessons and achievements."

I first heard about Litana Group in 2015, when I was studying civil engineering. At that time, representatives of the company came to the college and presented their activities. Even then I thought it was a great company, and I told myself that my goal was to sooner or later work for a company that takes on non-standard, large-scale projects. After graduating, I went on an Erasmus traineeship in Denmark, and when I came back I saw Litana's job advert. It was the perfect opportunity to join the company I had been dreaming about. After successfully becoming Assistant Project Manager, I joined my first project in Sweden, in Uppsala. It was a large bus depot, which impressed me a lot as a rookie engineer. In almost six years I have been involved in eight different projects, all of them interesting and unique.  What I enjoy most in my day-to-day work is that I have the opportunity to continuously learn and improve."

My journey at Litana Group started around 2012 when I started working as a steel assembler in Sweden. After a few years of working there, I decided to return to Lithuania to continue my studies, and when I came back I was offered to join Litana's administration. Working as a construction administrator, I was able to gain an insight into the company's business processes and dynamic projects in Scandinavia, which were of particular interest to me. I have always liked a challenging environment, so when I received an offer to work on a project in Sweden, I did not hesitate. It was a great experience and helped me to get to know all aspects of construction in Sweden. I am currently leading several project teams in Stockholm, working on strategically important infrastructure projects such as a bus station in the city centre or a new transport hub in the north of the city. I am also leading a project in Denmark where a new pharmaceutical plant is being built for one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies. I used to prefer to do everything myself, but I now realize that the greatest goals are achieved by working together with a team. I try to discover the strengths of each team member and use them to the best advantage. For me, Litana Group is a place where constant challenges become the beginning of new opportunities and success is only achieved through consistent work and working together as a team."
