“The construction site for CAP Group’s headquarters is my first as Site Manager. I had the opportunity to coordinate activities with a high technological impact and to collaborate with enthusiasm and purpose with both operational and technical colleagues, and with suppliers. CMB believed in me and this was an important professional achievement.”
