Practical Training 2026 at Ghallard Sys: From Applied Education to Career Perspectives
Developed by Ghallard Sys in partnership with the Technical University of Civil Engineering Bucharest, the program gave FCCIA students the opportunity to explore the connection between academic education and professional experience through mentorship, working sessions and site visits.
In a field where documentation, coordination and on-site checks must be understood together, future engineers need contexts that provide clear reference points for the profession they are choosing.
For the students, the practical placement provided exactly this exposure: working sessions, dialogue with specialists and the opportunity to observe more closely how construction site activities are carried out.
For Ghallard Sys, this involvement represents a concrete way to support young people at the beginning of their careers through mentorship, professional dialogue and know-how transfer.
From Academia to Professional Experience
Between June 22 and July 17, 2026, Ghallard Sys organized the 2026 Practical Training Program for four third-year students from the Faculty of Civil, Industrial and Agricultural Engineering: Andreea, Cristina, David and Radu.
The program included onboarding sessions, presentations on how the organization operates, internal policies and the team’s working principles, followed by applied topics covering digital tools, applications used in day-to-day activities and technologies that support internal processes.
In the technical area, students took part in working sessions dedicated to the Quantity and Quality departments. They observed how documentation is analyzed, how the stages of construction works are discussed and how office-based activities are complemented by on-site checks.
Ghallard Sys mentors and specialists played an important role throughout the program by providing explanations, examples, guidance and the openness to transform professional experience into useful reference points for students.
“The applied discussions on construction solutions and the analysis of technical documentation, together with site managers, site supervisors and mentors, were key moments in my professional development.”
Radu, UTCB student
“For us, it was important for the students to understand the logic behind the work of the Quantity Department: attention to detail, correlating information and the way each verification contributes to the overall picture of a project.”
Alexandra, Quantity Engineer
Site Visits: Documentation, Coordination and Responsibility
Visits to the Slobozia Multipurpose Hall and the University of Bucharest added an essential component to the training of future engineers: directly observing how documentation, execution and verification come together within a project.
At the Slobozia Multipurpose Hall, students were able to observe the relationship between drawings, construction elements, installation, coordination and verification. A project of this kind provides a clear perspective on how supervision activities monitor the quality of works, the traceability of information and the relationship between what is designed, executed and verified.
The visit to the University of Bucharest highlighted another dimension of construction site work. In the case of an existing building with architectural and historical value, technical intervention requires a balance between safety, functionality and respect for the building’s identity.
Restoring and strengthening a building of this kind requires an understanding of the building itself, the details that must be preserved, the limits of intervention and the way technical solutions can protect, adapt and enhance a building with a distinctive architectural identity.
“The activity I found most useful was the visit to the University of Bucharest construction site, where the mentors put us in the role of engineers and challenged us to find solutions to issues encountered in execution and design.”
David, UTCB student
“On site, the students saw how important it is to understand the context of a project before discussing technical solutions. For a future engineer, observation, asking questions and dialogue with the team are essential exercises.”
Doru, Project Manager
From Observation to Applied Understanding
The program sessions were designed to give students a clearer perspective on the connection between office work and site activities. Documentation, planning, technical analysis, checks, communication between teams and monitoring of works become clearer when viewed in the context of a real project.
Within the Quantity Department, students were introduced to concepts such as work statements, quantity balances, payment documentation and checks related to monthly activities. Within the Quality Department, they observed how documents, procedures and verification activities support compliance of the works and process traceability.
This perspective was complemented by site visits alongside project managers and site supervisors, where students were able to directly observe how works are monitored and technical matters are discussed in the field.
“I gained a better understanding of how construction supervision and site supervision ensure traceability of the works and verification of the documentation so that the project remains compliant.”
Cristina, UTCB student
“If I had to describe my experience at Ghallard in three words, they would be: valuable, motivating and constructive.”
Andreea, UTCB student
Continuing the Journey Through an Internship
Following the practical training programme, the internship represents the next step for students who wish to build on the experience gained at Ghallard Sys and become more closely involved in the company’s day-to-day activities.
Our aim is for this journey to create meaningful connections between the academic environment and a professional career, providing young specialists with support, professional guidance and, over time, the opportunity to join the teams contributing to the development of both the company and the industry.
