Working abroad is often associated with challenges: a different culture, an unfamiliar language, and being far from family and friends. However, when you work for a reliable and stable employer, these challenges become opportunities for professional development and personal growth. Such is the case for Georgi Stoichev, who has been working as an electrical cable installer for seven years at RNDV – an international construction company in Lithuania specializing in shipbuilding and residential and industrial construction projects.
A Reliable Employer with a Clear Vision for Its Employees
“I found out about RNDV from a friend who was already working there. I only heard good things about the company. I decided to give it a try and have no regrets!” Georgi says.
RNDV is a rapidly growing company involved in large-scale construction projects in Lithuania and across the European Union and beyond. Its teams handle the construction and repair of cruise ships and other vessels, as well as electro engineering projects in some of Europe’s largest shipyards. In addition, the company’s employees participate in building renewable energy parks, offshore metal structures, data centers, scaffolding, insulation, and electromechanical systems.
“The company takes care of everything, making it much simpler and less stressful to live and work abroad,” Georgi explains. He adds that RNDV not only provides stable employment but also numerous benefits for its employees. The company arranges housing and covers transportation costs, including plane tickets for work assignments—standard practice at RNDV.
Growth and Professionalism
“The organization is top-notch, and I’ve never had any issues with salary,” Georgi notes. “I work from 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on weekdays, and until noon on Saturdays. Everyone treats me and others with respect. They’re always fair, precise, and considerate of employees’ situations,” he emphasizes.
Describing his experience, Georgi Stoichev says that over the years he has honed his skills and gained extensive expertise by working on a variety of projects around Europe. “What I like the most is the opportunity to learn and develop. Every project is different, so the work is interesting and dynamic. I also really appreciate being able to return to Bulgaria between projects—I’m grateful for that,” he adds.
“Our diverse team keeps expanding, and it’s particularly gratifying that more new colleagues—like Mr. Stoichev—are joining us on the recommendation of current employees. This shows we’re meeting their expectations and earning their trust,” says RNDV representative Deimantė Adomavičė. According to her, a key reason many employees stay with the company for a long time is the guarantee of long-term projects that provide steady employment and growth opportunities. “Working in Lithuania and other countries is motivating—both because of the large, unique projects and the chance to encounter different cultures,” she adds.
An International Team and New Horizons
Another highlight of working at RNDV is the chance to meet people from different cultures. “I’ve worked in international teams, which helped me adapt more easily and learn new things. I’ve also visited various places, which is an extra perk,” Georgi says.
According to Adomavičė, it’s important for people from different countries and cultures to feel comfortable and integrate successfully within an international team. “During the interview, we discuss all questions the candidates might have, and we stay in contact with them before they arrive. Once they’re here, they’re met by responsible staff who help them settle in, explain the workplace rules, and arrange any additional practical training,” she explains.
Although Georgi’s team initially consisted mostly of Bulgarians, he now works with many more international colleagues. “Over time, you feel at home even if you’re far from Bulgaria. The company does everything possible to make us feel comfortable and safe, and now I speak several languages,” he adds.
Advice for Future Employees
Georgi encourages anyone considering a career at RNDV not to hesitate. “The company is fair, the conditions are excellent, and the opportunities for growth are real. If you want to work in an international environment and develop professionally, this is exactly the place you’ve been looking for.”
