Travelling abroad is not just a simple event;
it is a total change in your life. You leave
behind the comforts of home and go to so-
meplace unknown which you have to start
learning about bit by bit.
And the family?
En FCC nos preocupa la adaptación de
las At FCC we are concerned about the
adaptation of people in a new country and,
therefore, make it easy for employees to go
with their families, putting all the means ne-
cessary at our disposal to ensure that all are
integrated.
What support is offered to those who
travel abroad?
Information, moving arrangements, accom-
modations, medical insurance, social secu-
rity coverage, and schools for children...we
offer all guarantees so that the stay abroad
is arranged comfortably and easily.
What should I do if I want to be part of
an international project?
To be able to take part in an international
project, the first thing that must be done
is to analyse the project which, due to its
technical characteristics and the local en-
vironment where it is being developed, is
best adapted to my experience and which
can interest me the most.
Afterwards, you should talk about it with
your boss so that he is aware that you are
interested in a job abroad.
During the process, the Human Resources
department will assess your profile to deter-
mine that it fulfils the job requirements and,
if that is the case, the international adventu-
re starts to take off.
All information in this respect is available at
the new “FCC in the World” website where
you can find a description of the projects
and on the countries where we operate.
Vacancies are also published in the “Inter-
national Mobility” section of our intranet.
Managed by the Human Resources De-
partment, this channel enables employees
to maintain confidentiality before the take a
decision on the transfer.
For a short or a long period?
From months to the years that it takes to
complete a project. Support can be specific
depending on the needs of the professio-
nals.
What happens when you return?
Depends on what the situation is such
time. Our company builds projects; we
arrive at a site, complete the project, and
move on to another one. All depends on
the specialisation and the contracts that
we are awarded. Although it can be said
that a professional with international expe-
rience contributes to developing his career
and increasing his competencies. In many
cases, this experience can further drive the
professional’s career.
