Our summer intern Oda Eline Brandtzæg Hope (24) worked during summer at the Holmenkollen project in Norway.
– I also worked here last summer and because I enjoyed it so much, so I applied again this summer. I benefitted from a wide range of experience, from casting concrete to maintaining safety for our workers. No two days is the same.My colleagues are very welcoming and helpful here. This internship is highly valuable for me, as I am interested in working with similar projects and in leadership roles in the future.
