Mercury Employee Spotlight ⭐ For Pandora D'souza, Lead Document Controller based in Paris, it’s Mercury’s “fast-paced, vibrant environment,” combined with the “unity, diversity and camaraderie of the teams” that set the company’s dynamic culture apart. Since joining over three years ago, Pandora has expanded her skills while delivering three leading-edge Mercury projects across the United Kingdom, Germany, and France. “On data centre projects the documentation required is extensive, the systems are incredibly technical, the equipment is complicated, vast and needs to be commissioned.” Furthermore, “The quality is impressive, and the intensity of the time scale can be demanding.” Pandora continues, “the best part of my job is learning something new almost every day, and this is aided when you are part of a powerful team, with a supportive project manager and approachable senior management at the helm.” Collaboration is a crucial element of Mercury’s mission to transcend industry norms and Pandora is “grateful for the opportunities I’ve been afforded to work with and learn from experts, whether that be Mercury’s project engineers, commissioning, quality, and design teams, or our valued clients and supply chain partners.” At Mercury, we deliver leading edge construction solutions and empower our people with the opportunity to reach their full potential and genuinely enjoy what they do.
