DSTNCT Pte Ltd – Project Management Intern

What we look for in our people

Proactive attitude, driven, opinionated and resilience. These are the attributes that we look out for in our people.

We want our people to have a proactive attitude, taking control and making things happen rather than just adjusting to a situation and waiting for things to happen.

We want our people to be driven and to go above and beyond. To be self-motivated when things get tough.

We want our people to be outspoken and have their own opinions when it comes to brainstorming or group discussions. We do not want you to be a “Yes” man.

We want our people to be resilient. To be able to bounce back from adversity and to be able to manage a stressful situation.
