HOW HAS YOUR JOURNEY THROUGH THE GROUP BEEN?

“Right after my exams, I got a summer job with Guest Service in reception. After six months I applied for a permanent job in house and became a project coordinator. Since then I have continued to take on new challenges and have worked as coordinator, guest service agent and transport coordinator. I am now Production Planner, which means that I design layouts and coordinate internal building.”

WHAT IS THE BEST PART ABOUT WORKING HERE AT THE SWEDISH EXHIBITION & CONGRESS CENTRE/GOTHIA TOWERS?

“The variety! One moment I may be working on a layout for one of our own fair brands and the next discussing the structure of our theatre production with people in the restaurant. At the same time, there are external events in our venues and Gothia Avenue is putting on festive colours before the opening of our new gallery exhibition. As one of Europe’s biggest hotels, we are constantly offering new impressions while our facility bubbles with life. As a foundation, we reinvest in our own development, which has enabled the building of our new meeting place with the third tower. We have the courage to aim to be ‘Europe’s most attractive meeting place by offering the best total experience’ and I think that feels great!.

WHO DO YOU THINK SHOULD APPLY FOR A JOB HERE?

“We need many different kinds of expertise – such as in service, administration, production, finance, sales and marketing. Whatever the role you are applying for, your job will be characterised by a great deal of collaboration. We have many departments in house, all with their own specialist areas, and in our day-to-day work we depend on each other’s expertise in various contexts. Whatever direction you take here, if you have drive and ambition, you will have the opportunity to develop within the organisation. If you like that kind of environment, then I think you should apply for a job with us.”

“For those who have drive and ambition, there are good opportunities to grow within the group.”
