Matthieu Flamand

In 2016, I had the opportunity to work as an intern on the Monaragala & Buttala integrated water supply project in Sri Lanka. During three months, I experienced different aspects of what it means to work on a construction site such as reporting, quality control, H&S and technical office work.

It was especially interesting to feel that cultural differences are much more significant when you have a certain degree of responsibility, and to understand the importance of good communication in such situations.

Thanks to the internship, I gained a lot of hard skills. When I started at BESIX, I didn’t know much about site management. At university, I had learned how to calculate perfect structures, but I never studied how to conduct real works. I didn’t imagine how different reality can be from what is calculated, and the internship helped me to understand how important it is to have a simple and easy-to-implement design.

Personally, I really wanted to do my internship abroad because I was already thinking of working as an expat. It allowed me to gain insight into their way of living without having to engage for a long period of time. Thanks to this experience, I can now say for sure that this is what I want to do.

Philippe-Vincent Mols

I was keen to do my internship at BESIX, given the Group's reputation in the construction sector and the wide range of international projects it manages. On arrival I was immediately assigned to a water purification project in Kinshasa (DRC). During the course of the internship, I was able to work on other projects as well, in particular in Sri Lanka. 

The time I spent at BESIX is best described as invaluable training. Because of the internship, I understand what the main challenges of a project are and what it’s like to be a member of a dynamic team.

During May and June 2017, I did an internship at BESIX in the Marine Works department. I worked mainly on the tender documents for two projects: the extension of the Lindø port terminal at Odense in Denmark and, at Frontignan in the south of France, a main pipeline from the platform to the tanks at the terminal. These two months taught me a lot and allowed me to put into practice the concepts I had analyzed during my years of studies. I would recommend this experience without hesitation!
