Pros
TSL operates in the fast-growing data centre construction sector and provides opportunities to work on technically complex and high-profile projects. Accommodation and transport are provided for those working away from home, which helps with the practicalities of working overseas. There are also many committed and hardworking people across the projects who are trying to deliver in demanding environments.
Kontras
In my experience, there can sometimes be a gap between expectations set and what is ultimately delivered, particularly around employee support and development. The benefits package for employees working abroad could be more competitive, particularly in relation to pension provision and overseas or living allowances, which are often standard elsewhere in the industry. HR support and communication could also be strengthened to better support employees working on international projects. Greater focus on leadership engagement, transparency, and consistent support structures would likely improve overall morale and retention. At times, investment appears to prioritise corporate events or executive-level benefits, which can feel misaligned with the needs of employees working on projects day-to-day.
