Did you know that
Engineering students have rated us the most attractive employer in 2024, 2023 and 2021, and we have been in the top three seven times.

We have achieved high rankings in the Top Employer surveys: we were the only construction and real estate development employer in the manufacturing sector in 2021, and in the top ten in the services sector in 2024.
Merko has been ranked as the best-known and most reputable real estate developer in Estonia for five years in Kantar Emor surveys. We will continue to be the most well-known and trusted in 2024.
Merko has won the title of Estonia’s most competitive construction company on 18 occasions. On two occasions, it was ranked the most competitive large company.
A number of honourees work for Merko – specialists who hold titles like builder of the year, civil engineer of the year, rising star in digital construction, and Estonia’s best young civil engineer. Merko’s interns and Merko-built and Merko-developed projects have also won acclaim.
Triathlon, badminton, tennis, golf or company sport tournaments – at Merko, you’ll find a partner for just about every sport.
We encourage a passion for construction from early on. We start with the children of our employees and continue with trainees, many of whom will continue to work for us as future achievers.
It all starts with a healthy and happy employee. We support recreational sports, our work organisation is flexible and we care about mental health.
We help strengthen Estonia’s national defence capability – through our day-to-day work of construction and supporting our employees’ participation in reservist exercises.
We are helping to enrich the content of engineering education and support the rising generation of civil engineers in Estonia
We support the student community and contribute to student life
Working for the future
Our work has developed the urban space, given opportunities for exercise and made life in Estonia more comfortable. With each project, we build tomorrow and lay the foundation for the future.
We help to make engineering and construction education more practical, give lectures and supervise graduation theses, organise group visits to projects and offer internships so that today’s builders will be succeeded by a remarkable young generation.
Working for health
Every day you live and work healthy is important. We increase employee awareness of occupational health, ensure a safe working environment and contribute to maintaining good health.
To promote healthy lifestyles, we encourage our employees to play sports, reimburse sports and health expenses and, in cooperation with Swedbank and Eesti Energia, develop health trails across Estonia so that others can exercise comfortably and healthily.
Working for joy
We are proud of every job well done. We celebrate being a team that does great things – on our construction sites, in each department and in the company as a whole.
We remember employees at work-related, personal and family events. We welcome employees and their companions to the Builders’ Day and New Year’s Eve party. We familiarise children with their parents’ work on Children’s Day and at the Christmas party. We have fun in all that we do!
