“I consider Metrostav to be a traditional company that cares about values and resists short-term fashion trends. I most appreciate the decency and openness that prevail here.”&nbsp;Milan is a journalist in body and soul. He has dedicated his life to writing, beginning back as a student at the Czech News Agency and subsequently working for the Hospodářské noviny newspaper. He ran his own PR agency for 10 years and, whether by accident or a result of his interest, his work repeatedly centred around construction-related topics. When he received a job offer from Metrostav at 48, he acted quickly. You are probably thinking that he took over the Metrostav newspaper, but that wasn’t the case. His first mission centred around human-resources marketing. He focused his talent on texts for job seekers, writing engaging advertisements and articles about employees’ lives. When the recruitment of new colleagues was reduced as a consequence of the economic crisis in 2009, he transferred to the external relations department where he still works today, informing the public about Metrostav’s work, and presenting information in the correct light.&nbsp;“Presenting information about the construction of the Blanka tunnel was what you might call a school of hard knocks. There was a lot of distorted information circulating about this project. We had to invest a great deal of time to correct inaccuracies and refute rumours – yet also choose our words carefully to ensure we did not harm the construction investor and partner.”&nbsp;Milan meets a lot of colleagues every day during his work – over these 12 years he has got to know Metrostav very well. He is also responsible for internal communication. He participated in the introduction of new communications channels – from internal news via SMS, which proved extremely useful during the floods in 2013, through to the creation of a Facebook profile. “I am glad that I can continue to develop professionally. New technologies and social media have always interested me – we will soon be launching our presence on Instagram and Twitter, so I am looking forward to learning something new again.” And what would Milan say to job seekers? “Don’t hesitate to apply to Metrostav even if you are no longer 20. Here they value your experience!” &nbsp;

Adam's ambition was to be a professional soccer player. Everything in his life revolved around soccer, including his choice of secondary school. Unfortunately, Adam contracted Lyme disease, which spelled the end of his sports career. Adam signed up for Metrostav's scholarship program and began to realize that he liked the construction trade. After graduating, he began working as a mason in the manufacture of high-precision concrete tunnel lining components for the Ejpovice Railway Tunnel. "I've become a construction worker by accident. But now, years after choosing this profession, I'm glad that Metrostav gave me a chance to pursue this line of work." &nbsp;After the completion of the Ejpovice tunnel project, Adam spent two years on the construction of a tunnel in Prešov as a tunnel boring worker.&nbsp; "First, I was uneasy about whether the old-timers would accept me and how I'd fit in, but my concerns proved unfounded. My coworkers were great, and I mean it. They accepted me as one of their own, and I made new friends, even though some are a generation older." &nbsp;Adam has grown fond of working in construction and decided to pursue further studies. He has obtained a secondary school diploma in civil engineering, and is now in his third year of a university program specialized in economics and management.&nbsp; Adam's current position is foreman. After spending several months in Germany working on a project executed by the subsidiary Subterra a.s., he is now back with Metrostav, taking part in a project optimizing railway tracks connecting Prague Hostivař and Prague Main Railway Station.

"What do I appreciate the most about Metrostav? The varied nature of the structures that the company builds and the jobs that it offers. Being able to try out different tasks and to find out what I really enjoy doing. The readiness of colleagues to help and share their experience. The friendly accommodating attitude with which they've accepted me as one of their own." Already when attending elementary school, Adéla liked math and geometry. In Grade 6, she was one of the few students who knew what they wanted to do in the future – study civil engineering, which she did. Later, the choice of university was clear. She enrolled in the civil engineering program at the Czech Technical University, later opting for a major in the planning, execution, and operation of construction projects. While studying, she took advantage of Metrostav's internship offer and joined the firm's Division 8 in her second year. "On the job, I can see how things are done in the real world, which helps me in my studies. You see everything in a completely different light, which goes for the technology, construction methods, workers' abilities, and the time work that tasks take to complete." She appreciates the time flexibility and the fact that her colleagues are happy to give advice and understand that she occasionally needs to take a day or two off to study for exams. They also started while still studying and remember how difficult it was to hold a part-time job.&nbsp; "Nearly everything you do and see is for the first time. Luckily, there are people who gladly help, demonstrate, explain, and share their knowledge. I am forever grateful to them for that."&nbsp; In her free time, Adéla likes sports. She plays competition floorball. Time permitting, she goes hiking in the mountains and gets together with family and friends. Her goal is to successfully complete the program and gain as much hands-on experience as possible to put it into use in the future.

“If you want to work on interesting projects, Metrostav is the right choice. I had the opportunity to build Blanka.”Most students in civil engineering want to work on large and technologically unique projects. Jirka got this opportunity right after finishing school when he joined Metrostav as a technician in a project team for the construction of the Blanka tunnel. He was responsible for the preparation of the Troja part of the construction and subsequently for its implementation as project manager.“Relatively shortly after school, I got to see the whole spectrum of construction activities. I worked with designers, investors, and suppliers on the largest tunnel project in Central Europe. It was exciting.”After completing the project, Jirka was looking for another challenge. His dream was to solve non-traditional implementations. That is why he decided to focus on the energy sector, specifically nuclear power plants, and to build operations specialized in this specific segment. And he succeeded – thanks in part to his team, Metrostav has obtained certificates that authorize the company to carry out construction works in the strict mode to which nuclear power plants are subject. Jirka shares his experience with students at his alma mater, the Faculty of Civil Engineering at VŠB-TU in Ostrava.“During my studies, I gained the best skills and knowledge from teachers that had previously worked in practice. Maybe it’s out of nostalgia, but I feel I should return the favor to the faculty. I am pleased to be able to pass on my experience, and not only to my current colleagues, but also to those who may one day become my colleagues.”

"I enjoy being in an industrious environment. Likewise, I find it fulfilling to look back and see that I was part of building lasting value. There aren't many lines of work as satisfying as construction in this regard."&nbsp;Throughout his life, Lukáš has had a passion for building and creating. Having joined Metrostav in 2006, he started as Planning Assistant on the Dům u Zlatého Anděla Project in Celetná Street in Prague. After the project was completed, he was assigned to the CITY TOWER reconstruction and completion in Prague's Pankrác District. That venture convinced him to stay on with Metrostav.&nbsp;"As far as I'm concerned, Metrostav is the only company capable of executing a project of such an extensive scope with such aplomb."Another great experience Lukáš has had was his assignment to the construction of the Sacre Coeur II Residence. Owing to its exceptional location above the Strahov Tunnel, this residential complex has a unique position among housing development ventures in the Czech Republic. "This project has produced a team of extremely hardworking individuals who will make Metrostav prosper for years to come. I consider that the biggest reward for the work we've done together. That included completing the third stage of this project, while at the same time building the foundations for the NoeGRAF venture."Presently, Lukáš is the Project Manager responsible for the team executing the TOP Rezidence Na Pomezí project in Prague's Košíře District.&nbsp;"Here, I can put to use what I've learned from my colleagues who guided me in the past and taught me how to do this demanding work."&nbsp;The responsibility assigned to him has taught Lukáš to make independent decisions and to coordinate individual sub-processes.&nbsp;"Without everyone's support, I could not become Project Manager at such a relatively young age.""In our line of work, success means to always be prepared and to expect that things might go wrong. Until as late as 10 years ago, the largest proportion of Czech GDP was generated by the construction industry. Today, I sense widespread disrespect for the entire sector, while nobody from the outside can even imagine the amount of work, time, and attention that goes into completing a construction project. I truly hope that the day will come when construction workers will be respected once again, and that the structures we build will bring prosperity and serve people well." &nbsp;Lukáš spends his free time raising his children, as he considers family to be his main purpose in life.

„When you prove yourself to be a good employee, the road to growth is open to you at Metrostav.“Tomáš Beržinský has been concerned with water management since childhood – he is the third generation of water managers in the family. So, when it was time to decide on a future career, water management structures were a clear choice. He joined Metrostav during his studies, initially working a part-time job. “My future colleagues already noticed me at the university. At that time I was writing a diploma thesis on a dam in Kurdistan, and that probably caught their attention.” He started working on the construction of a small hydroelectric power plant in Litoměřice as a foreman and implemented here, among other things, his first of a number of fish ladders. He then worked on an exceptional project of a small hydroelectric power plant in Štětí, first as assistant to the site engineer and then as assistant to the project manager.“I was in charge of installing technology from Austrian subcontractors. I worked as a liaison officer between the construction and the technological part. Everything was in English. It was quite a challenge – and great experience.”He recently completed renovation works on a weir in Černošice and he is looking forward to the next large and technically demanding projects.“I’m glad to be at Metrostav. It is the top company in water management, I could learn from my colleagues – who are now also my friends – and experienced experts. My dream in the career sphere is to build a dam, whether in the Czech Republic or abroad.”

Ing. Tomáš Beržinský

Tomáš hails from Ústí nad Labem, where Metrostav has a partnership with the local Secondary School of Construction Engineering, which includes an apprentice scholarship program. Tomáš signed up for the program at the age of 15, and began working on Metrostav's worksites while studying as part of the hands-on training. He joined the company on a full-time basis immediately after graduating as a metalworker. His first assignment was the metalworking shop in Division 5 in Prague."I liked that I was earning money while studying, and I knew that I would have a job after getting my diploma. Incidentally, I learned to use hand tools at school, but here, we use machines for everything. It's a completely different ballgame."When Tomáš later decided to return to his home region, he looked for a position within Metrostav in Northern Bohemia and accepted an offer from the regional branch of Division 8 in Ústí nad Labem. He has taken advantage of the opportunity to improve his qualifications, and has completed a number of courses, earning a certificate for electrode and carbon dioxide welding and a permit to operate a forklift."I like it when I pass by something we have built. It feels good knowing that I was a part of it. Among many other projects, I took part in the construction of a swimming pool at Klíše in Ústí nad Labem, which I now regularly visit. I did almost all of the handrails, so I know each of the welds. It's awesome to see the work behind me and to know that it serves so many people."
