Samsung C&T Engineering & Construction (E&C) Group is expanding its impact through landmark projects in renewable energy, construction, and infrastructure development across various regions. Through the combined efforts of teams in business development, sales, and HR, the Group builds strong relationships with clients, secures new opportunities, and ensures the successful execution of projects. Employees from around the world, based in South Korea, contribute to these global initiatives by supporting projects and adapting to new markets and environments.
Samsung C&T E&C Group is expanding its global presence with major projects across multiple regions. From working on Small Modular Reactor (SMR) projects in Eastern Europe to marine and power plant projects in the Middle East, the Group is involved in a range of large-scale initiatives that are shaping the future of energy and infrastructure.
These projects are made possible through the collaborative efforts of teams across the Group, including those involved in business development, sales, and HR. Each team plays a role in helping to connect regions, manage client relationships, and support Samsung C&T E&C’s integrated workforce, ensuring that every step of the process — from planning to execution — is aligned. Employees from various backgrounds contribute to their teams’ growth by supporting projects and adapting to the challenges that come with working in diverse markets.
Laying the Groundwork: Strategies for Global Projects
Every major project at Samsung C&T E&C begins long before construction or execution. Behind the scenes, teams involved in business development, sales, and HR are working to prepare the foundation for these projects. Through careful planning, market research, and collaboration, these professionals help ensure that each project is set up for success.
For Sabina Bulhac, working in business development means securing infrastructure projects in Europe and the Middle East. Her work involves researching markets, building relationships with clients, and ensuring that internal teams align with project needs. By understanding the market and client expectations, Sabina contributes to securing new opportunities and meet project goals. Similarly, Tynychbek Zhaparov supports green hydrogen projects by addressing the technical and regulatory challenges of this emerging sector. Through collaboration with international stakeholders, Tynychbek helps prepare projects to meet future energy needs and contribute to global sustainability goals.
Meanwhile, Fatima Asif as Global HR ensures with her team that the right people are in place to carry out these projects. She focuses on talent recruitment, employee development, and cultural integration, making sure that employees are prepared to work across regions and support global initiatives.
Each of these efforts helps to lay the groundwork, ensuring that projects are not just planned, but strategically aligned to meet both the client and the Group’s goals.
Connecting Clients, Markets, and Teams
Building strong client relationships goes beyond understanding their immediate needs; it’s about creating long-term partnerships that support successful outcomes across all phases of a project. These relationships are fostered through careful listening, tailored solutions, and consistent collaboration between teams. When it comes to securing large projects, engaging directly with clients early in the process is essential. By understanding client goals and aligning them with Samsung C&T E&C’s expertise, teams craft proposals that meet both client expectations and the Group’s high standards. Jonas Nyamador, for example, works closely with clients in the MENA region to ensure that architectural projects are designed and delivered to meet their unique needs. Jonas mentions that “it’s not just about securing deals but ensuring that every project begins with a solid foundation of trust and mutual understanding.”
Processes involve working with international stakeholders to secure long-term partnerships that align with the Group’s goals. It’s about connecting with the right partners and maintaining clear communication to ensure everyone is on the same page. This kind of collaboration extends across departments, where technical expertise and client engagement blend seamlessly to bring projects to life.
How Collaboration Drives Success Across Borders
Every international project presents unique challenges, from cultural differences to logistical hurdles and regulatory complexities. Overcoming these obstacles relies on the combined efforts of teams across various functions, who collaborate closely to keep projects moving forward despite barriers.
Whether it’s working closely with legal teams and internal departments to manage regulatory challenges in international markets, like Sabina does, or ensuring projects meet local requirements while staying aligned with client expectations, as Tynychbek does, the key to overcoming these challenges is collaboration. Each team contributes its own expertise, whether in technical solutions, compliance, or cultural integration, ensuring that every project is executed smoothly and efficiently, meeting the Group’s high standards and exceeding client expectations across diverse global markets.
The Future of Global Teamwork at Samsung C&T
As industries evolve, the Group continues to expand its expertise across key sectors, including renewable energy, advanced construction, and global infrastructure development. Samsung C&T E&C is actively involved in green hydrogen and ammonia projects, and next-generation urban developments like Raemian’s smart housing innovations.
While dealing with things like regulatory barriers or technical challenges can be tough, the collaborative approach across teams helps to turn these challenges into opportunities. Employees work together to bridge cultural differences and language barriers, contributing a variety of perspectives and ideas. By fostering a highly skilled, globally connected workforce, the Group ensures that its projects remain competitive in an increasingly complex and fast-changing world.
