When every day is a puzzle: Oksana’s role in the “Marino Projects” Non-EU department
Behind the scenes at “Marino Projects” is work that is often invisible not only to clients, but even to parts of the production teams themselves. It is carried out by people who ensure that specialists from non-EU countries reach projects across Europe on time, safely, and fully prepared.
Oksana, a Non-EU personnel specialist, has been with the company for a year. Her work is defined by speed, precision, and constant problem-solving—where no two days ever look the same.
She describes her everyday work in simple terms: “It feels like a puzzle—an interesting process of solving problems. Nothing is impossible; I live by that motto.”

When responsibility means acting here and now
The biggest part of the job is dealing with situations where there is simply no time to wait. Especially when workers need to be organized and deployed to international projects at very short notice.
This is not just about preparing documents. It means managing the entire process from start to finish—sometimes even physically being there for the person. “Responsibility shows itself best in situations where you have to organize workers’ departure to an international project in a very short time, making sure everyone feels safe and prepared.”
The process often includes everything—from documentation to accelerating migration procedures, or providing direct on-site support. “Preparing all documents, speeding up processes if needed, submitting migration requests without queues, even accompanying people if necessary.”
Working with people who trust you
Oksana’s role is not purely administrative—it is deeply people-focused. She often works with individuals going abroad for work for the very first time.
Because of that, trust becomes the most important factor. “What matters to me is ensuring that every employee feels valued and knows they will receive support in any situation.”
This approach builds a very clear human connection. “There have been cases when a candidate says: ‘I know that if I ask, you will find out everything and give me an answer.’”
For Oksana, these moments show that the job is not just about processes—it is about relationships.
A culture where decisions move fast
When working with Non-EU employees from different regions, it is not only the job itself that matters, but also the environment in which it happens.
Oksana highlights one key characteristic of “Marino Projects”—direct, fast, and human communication. “There is less bureaucracy and more direct communication. Decisions are made quickly, and an employee is seen as a person, not just a part of a system.”
Trust, she says, comes from simple things. “The most important things are openness and patience. Trust appears when a person sees that their questions are heard and promises are kept.”
Diversity of cultures becoming everyday life
Over the year, Oksana has worked with people from many countries—from Central Asia to Eastern Europe. This has become not only part of her job, but also a personal experience. “Over the year, I feel I have grown professionally, and I’ve also found inner balance. I’ve gained many connections and new knowledge about cultures.”
In daily life, this sometimes appears in small details—food, traditions, or ways of communication. “Black tea with thyme is very popular among Azerbaijanis, as well as horse meat.”
She mentions people from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Tajikistan, Ukraine, and Belarus. Despite differences, one thing remains the same. “They are friendly, sincere, and when you communicate with them—they are hospitable and invite you to visit.”
The most important lesson: staying calm
For Oksana, this job has become not only a professional challenge, but also a strong personal lesson. “Professionally, I grew the most by managing complex migration procedures. Personally, I learned to stay calm and constructive even under heavy workload.”
This is one of the key parts of the role—the ability to operate under pressure without losing clarity.
Oksana’s story reveals another side of “Marino Projects”—one that is not visible on construction sites or in production halls, but is essential for everything to function smoothly.
It is work where logistics and documentation turn into human connection, and fast decisions become real support for the people building international projects.
And it is often this invisible part that holds everything together.
