Stories that shape our History: Raquel Luis

In episode 4 of the “Remarkable Stories” series, dedicated to the theme “Trainee Experience”, we hear from Raquel Luis, who has been part of Mota‑Engil Engenharia since 2023, having begun her career through the StartME programme.

Throughout her account, Raquel shares what the start of this phase was like, marked by the discovery of a new reality, constant challenges and learning opportunities from a very early stage. The chance to be involved in different projects, take on responsibilities and work closely with diverse teams was crucial to her growth, both personally and professionally.

In this episode, she also highlights the importance of team spirit, knowledge-sharing and support amongst colleagues — key factors that contributed to a strong sense of belonging and the certainty of being in the right place to grow. With a genuine and positive outlook, Raquel emphasises that making mistakes, learning and stepping out of one’s comfort zone are all part of the journey for anyone building a solid career.

The “Remarkable Stories” series thus continues to give a voice to colleagues whose experiences reflect the values that unite us, a culture of overcoming challenges and the ambition to always do better.
