By welcoming female engineering students on site, Changwon gave potential candidates more than a company presentation. It offered first-hand insight into the people, culture, and career opportunities behind Volvo Construction Equipment. For two engineers who now work at Changwon Technology, that experience became the moment Volvo CE stood out — and the reason they applied for jobs there.
“What impressed me most was hearing directly from female engineers and visiting the site,” says Junkyeong Park, Structure Engineer in the Frame and Exterior team. “It wasn’t just company promotion — it helped me see this as a place where I could build my career.”
The visit also challenged assumptions. “I expected a rigid, conservative environment,” she adds. “But seeing the site and speaking with engineers made me realize that diversity is not just something people talk about here — it’s taken seriously in practice.”
For Dayhe Park, Structure Engineer in Operator Interface, the experience brought clarity at a crucial moment. “As a first-time job seeker, I was still trying to understand what kind of engineer I wanted to become. The cross-functional mentoring session was a turning point. Hearing women from Operations, Purchasing, and Technology share their journeys helped me see my own path more clearly. Knowing there are opportunities to move and grow internally gave me the confidence to apply.”
That confidence matters. When candidates understand both the role and the culture before they apply, they arrive with stronger motivation, clearer expectations and a better sense of how they can contribute from day one.
