OUR PEOPLE

Why I Work at Valcon

Oliver Muškinja, Head of People & Culture, SEE

As Head of P&C at Valcon SEE, I thrive on the breadth and depth of challenges my role brings. One moment I’m collaborating across countries to roll out group-wide people strategy; the next I’m streamlining onboarding or automating HR workflows to free up our team for higher-value work. Valcon is a truly international environment. Diverse clients and projects and a culture of knowledge-sharing mean I’m always learning – whether from capability leads or technology experts in cloud software engineering, and data. That constant variety, together with a team of enthusiastic, motivated colleagues, makes Valcon the perfect fit for me.

What excites me about Valcon is the opportunity to work with clients across industries, tackling fresh challenges and advancements. I thrive in dynamic environments where I apply my expertise while continuously learning. Beyond day-to-day work, I value opportunities to refine my leadership skills and grow as a professional.

At the same time, collaborating with talented colleagues across the UK and Europe helps me exchange ideas, broaden my perspective, and sharpen my skills. For me, it’s not just about delivering solutions – it’s about working together to create a lasting impact.

I’m drawn to Valcon because the company provides the variety I crave in my role as a software developer. The diverse projects and clients keep me engaged and constantly learning. I appreciate the collaborative approach, working closely with clients and having the chance to contribute to the people side of change. The mix of colleagues with different skill sets further enhances my growth, creating a dynamic and motivating work environment.

Julia Schultz, Senior Consultant, NL

By working on different client projects, I learn skills that can be applied to many other client environments and the challenges they face. I enjoy working ‘with’ instead of just ‘for’ clients on projects that focus on the people side of change. I believe it’s so valuable that I have colleagues with different skill sets to learn from, such as colleagues focusing on processes or technology. Overall, I enjoy the variety of projects and clients, but most of all I love working with enthusiastic, motivated colleagues!

Valcon offers a dynamic range of projects across national and international borders. With a ‘can-do’ attitude embedded in our culture, combined with our expertise in business, technology, and data, we constantly explore new ways of working and deliver cutting-edge solutions for our clients. This diversity not only challenges me but expands my skills in ways I never imagined. The chance to explore new areas within my profession and carve my own path is both empowering and motivating. Every day, I am surrounded by colleagues who push me to be my best.

Elijah Osagie, Senior Consultant, UK

I started my Business Analyst journey working at a consultancy which was perfect because it fitted my creative and knowledge-driven disposition. It allowed me to work on different projects in different roles with different companies, gaining unreplaceable skills and experience. This is ‘Why Valcon’ – because it gives me that and so much more. Valcon drives and encourages you to be leaders in your field of expertise with personal and professional support based on the avenue you wish to pursue, which led me to recently gain a Diploma in Financial Crime Prevention.

Maaike Maas, Principal, NL

At Valcon, every day brings exciting challenges with fascinating clients and cutting-edge big data projects. Recently, I worked on building a new data platform for a major construction company, seamlessly integrating Databricks, Azure Synapse, and Git. Databricks stood out for its versatility, allowing effortless transitions between Python, SQL, and other modern languages, making it ideal for engineering, analysis, and machine learning. It’s become an indispensable tool for me.

Andreas Østergaard Ohrt, Senior Manager, Nordics

I chose to come back to Valcon because of the great people and collaborative culture. This is a place where your colleagues meet you with great expectations and help you grow. Valcon offers challenges beyond the ordinary while preserving the time and headspace it takes to be a father and husband at home. Professionally, I am driven by a desire to solve real-world business problems for real-world humans, particularly within digital product development. And I am relentlessly curious about how to do it best. Valcon provides extraordinary conditions to do exactly that.

Atun Barisic, Junior Mendix Developer, SEE

Being a part of Valcon is thrilling because things are always dynamic, and you get to team up and collaborate with diverse experts who bring different perspectives. With a variety of projects and clients, each day presents a new challenge, offering continuous opportunities for learning and professional growth. The agile approach allows for quick adjustments. Consequently, projects are always interesting and are continually evolving, ensuring you don’t fall into routine.

Tessa McLean, Manager, UK

I am thoroughly enjoying working at a company big enough to make a difference for their clients but small enough to get to know individuals and their skills. After so many years working for huge companies this is really refreshing. I continue to be delighted and amazed by today’s graduates and the ideas and approaches they generate. Blending teams of different skills and experience, those bright young minds with people like me, who have been around for a few more years (decades) bringing a wealth of experience, can really ensure that there is genuine diversity of minds.

Anna Ramey, Consultant, UK

I chose to join Valcon due to its strong focus on delivering measurable value to clients. I was drawn to the collaborative and forward-thinking culture, used to solve complex business challenges and tailor solutions for each client. The opportunity to work with a diverse range of clients while continuously developing my skills made Valcon ideal for growing my consulting capabilities. Valcon offers an inclusive, supportive and fun workplace that makes you feel valued.

Rence van Hunnick, Senior Consultant, NL

Valcon suits me because I feel that we make a real difference. We look for a solution that perfectly fits the client’s situation and make sure our results include realising practical improvements. We achieve this with our hands-on approach and closely working together with the client, that is our added value. Next to that, I like working together with my fellow Valconeers, who are best described as a flexible group of eager people with a can-do mentality.

Hanna Esselius, Senior Manager, NO

At Valcon, I get the chance to help clients with projects that have real impact. I enjoy working ‘with’, as opposed to merely ‘for’, clients on projects that focus on making strategic initiatives come to life. Furthermore, Valcon appeals to me because I love having variety in my job. Valcon offers this in terms of projects, clients, and contexts. But most of all I love working with fun, skilled and motivated colleagues who embody a genuine can-do attitude.
