Work quality and safety are the key factors behind RNDV’s success in Germany and the reasons why many clients trust the company. The range of services offered in this country includes scaffolding installation, technical insulation, and metal cladding.

In recent years, the construction sector in Germany has faced slowing growth, driving the need for new concepts to enhance efficiency and cost-effectiveness. At the same time, adhering to high safety and quality standards remains non-negotiable. These aspects form the core of RNDV’s strategy.

Gintautas Vitkevičius, the head of one of RNDV’s companies, emphasizes: “Eight years of experience in the Western European market in scaffolding, technical insulation, and metal cladding have earned us the trust of clients through high project management standards, company culture, and the qualifications and safety of our employees.”

The construction industry is cyclical, a dynamic to which RNDV has adapted well. Over the past years, Germany has presented significant challenges but also opened opportunities for new partnerships and shifting priorities. Construction projects are planned with great care, involving all stakeholders. This requires meticulous preparation and patience in selecting partners, making positive client feedback and recommendations increasingly important.

“Our collaboration with clients is based on partnership and mutual trust. Through responsible project management, we ensure the safety and well-being of our employees, their continuous professional development, efficient and high-quality work, and a strong work culture,” says Gintautas Vitkevičius.

The entire RNDV group of companies operates across 23 different fields, employing approximately 1,900 professionals from the European Union and worldwide. RNDV builds and repairs ships in the largest shipyards in Europe and undertakes projects in electrical engineering, renewable energy, offshore metal structures, data centers, and electromechanics. The team specializing in scaffolding, technical insulation, and cladding comprises 500 professionals.

Among RNDV’s key achievements in Germany in recent years are the insulation of large tanks at a Krefeld factory, involvement in the installation of a 100 MW electrolyzer for green hydrogen production in Cologne, and insulation work at a company in Leipzig producing PVC windows, pipes, flooring, and chemicals, ensuring the plant’s smooth and timely launch.

RNDV’s construction projects focus on industrial and shipbuilding sectors as well as renewable energy. The company operates successfully in the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Finland, and Germany, specializing in energy, oil extraction, scaffolding, insulation, shipbuilding, and other industrial infrastructure projects. In Western Europe, particularly in Germany, RNDV is the first choice for scaffolding, insulation, and cladding, ensuring safe working conditions even under complex circumstances.

RNDV places significant emphasis on employee training and risk prevention. One of the most effective methods for managing risks is the Last Minute Risk Analysis (LMRA), a safety questionnaire employees must complete before starting or continuing work. Only after confirming that all safety conditions are met can they begin their tasks. Gintautas Vitkevičius highlights that this method is effective in helping employees better understand risks, assess them, and report any issues.

RNDV also collaborates with an independent Occupational Safety and Health Agency (OSHS), which helps implement new solutions and improve safety procedures.

Clients across Europe choose RNDV for safety, quality, flexibility, and professionalism. “Only 1% of construction companies can claim to have met their planned budgets in the past year. We are one of them,” says Gintautas Vitkevičius.

Working abroad in the construction sector opens new professional and financial opportunities, yet it often comes with challenges—adapting to a new environment, collaborating with an international team, and being away from family. Jarosław Blauza, a Polish foreman, shares his experience of working at the international company RNDV and highlights how a reliable employer contributes to job satisfaction and professional growth.

Jarosław Blauza has been working at RNDV for four years. The Lithuanian company specializes in shipbuilding as well as residential and industrial construction. It also builds renewable energy parks, assembles offshore metal structures, installs data centers, and performs scaffolding and insulation work in Lithuania, other EU countries, and beyond. RNDV employs more than 1,800 people from 23 countries, including many Poles.

In an interview, Grudziądz resident Jarosław shares his experiences of working abroad, discusses the organizational culture of a large company, and explores the opportunities provided by a reliable employer. His story can inspire those seeking professional support and job stability.

“I started as a scaffolding fitter in factories and shipyards in the Netherlands, and now I work as a foreman,” says Jarosław Blauza. “I hold top-level fitter and inspector qualifications, which open up many opportunities for me. I manage several projects, train employees in scaffolding assembly, and help them prepare for exams.”

The foreman enjoys challenges. He holds full Dutch licenses for operating various types of wheeled machinery, including lifts and cranes. As Jarosław says: “I don’t want to stand still—I strive to improve my skills and always look for new learning opportunities. From the start, RNDV gave me this chance.”

Jarosław has 20 years of professional experience. “A friend recommended RNDV to me. I had only heard good things about the company—it’s a stable, trustworthy employer. I decided it was worth a try,” he recalls.

Good Working Conditions

Jarosław dislikes idleness. As he explains, he started working the day after signing his contract. The recruitment process was quick and efficient. “RNDV gives the impression of being a professional company that values experience, so the recruitment process went smoothly,” he adds.

Jarosław does not regret his decision. “The company is reliable, and the salary is attractive, which is most important to me. I appreciate RNDV for its transparency and stability,” he says. RNDV also offers numerous benefits: housing allowances, bonuses for driving and handling documentation, and a company car.

In many companies, employees face various deductions, sometimes for absurd reasons such as unwashed dishes. “That doesn’t happen at RNDV. On the contrary, employees are respected here. The company understands personal needs—there has never been an issue if I needed to return home urgently for important reasons, such as a funeral or surgery. This flexibility and openness build trust,” says Jarosław.

RNDV employees benefit from guarantees provided by Lithuanian and EU labor laws. The company organizes transport, accommodation, daily commutes to work, and provides all the tools necessary for the job.

“Employees are usually assigned to overseas projects based on rotational schedules. After a certain phase of the project, they return home to rest. The company organizes and finances trips to their home country,” says Deimantė Adomavičė, HR Director of one of RNDV’s companies. “Rotations depend on the employee’s specialization, project requirements, and their expectations, which we discuss before signing the contract.”

International Integration

The foreman’s role can be demanding, especially in a multicultural team. However, as Jarosław Blauza emphasizes, RNDV fosters an open atmosphere that encourages collaboration and minimizes organizational and communication challenges.

“We communicate mainly in English daily. My team is a mix of nationalities: Poles, Lithuanians, Dutch, Italians. Despite cultural differences, we get along well. Still, I’m learning some Dutch and Lithuanian to communicate even better. I also know a bit of French,” says Blauza.

Working in a multicultural environment involves more than just speaking English. Every nationality can have a different approach to work, social norms, or communication styles. For example, some employees might value hierarchy and formality, while others prefer informal relationships with supervisors.

In such situations, misunderstandings may arise, requiring flexibility and openness. RNDV organizes intercultural training sessions to help employees understand the specifics of working in international teams. Thanks to this, as Jarosław points out, the team works effectively together despite differences, creating a friendly and cohesive work environment.

Career at RNDV

The company’s revenue grew by 39% last year, reaching €105.4 million. In 2024, revenue is expected to rise further to €130 million. The company is continuously expanding and actively seeking specialists, including hull and metal structure fitters, welders, painters, sandblasting equipment operators, electricians, electromechanics, scaffolding and insulation workers, solar module installers, site managers, and production foremen.

Job seekers can apply through the career section on the RNDV website Careers section. A recruitment specialist will contact candidates to conduct an interview. Successful candidates will receive detailed information about employment conditions, necessary documents, and their first day of work.
