SilverBack stories
With every person comes a story. We have so many stories that are waiting to be heard.
Finbarr
Finbarr
Everybody knows Finbarr O’Sullivan. On the massive Stegra construction site in Boden, northern Sweden, the Irishman wields real power.
Literally. As an electrical supervisor with SilverBack, has spent the last 6 years working on two of the biggest construction projects in European cleantech – the Northvolt battery gigafactory and, more recently, the Stegra hydrogen and green steel mill. Finbarr has experienced first-hand the massive number of talented individuals that it takes to turn ambitious plans into incredible industrial complexes.
Originally from Cork, Ireland, Finbarr has been working with SilverBack in Sweden since 2016, one of our longest-serving project workers.
He enjoys the culture and pace of work in Sweden and very much feels part of the SilverBack team.
At the moment, he is particularly enjoying nurturing and training a small team of young, inexperienced Swedes currently under his supervision on the site at the edge of the Swedish Arctic Circle.
Finbarr describes the plans as ‘mind-boggling’, but is excited by SilverBack’s continued role in servicing these projects, and is proud of our proven expertise in remote locations and large construction.
As someone who spent his earlier career working in the oil & gas industry in various parts of the globe, Finbarr is enjoying finishing out his career in a whole new world of green technology.
Here’s to the future.
Aneta
Aneta Kuźmiuk has a unique perspective on how the SilverBack business has developed over more than a decade.
Her career has tracked much of the change experienced by the SilverBack business.
Having personally managed so much change, in 2024 she took up the role of Head of Sustainabilty and Innovation to drive further change, enabling SilverBack maintain our position as a market leader.
Aneta’s story is SilverBack’s story.
Aneta started in the SilverBack Dublin office as a junior intern in 2013. She was a fast learner and quickly acquired additional responsibilities and promotion as Administration Manager.
Indeed, Aneta’s expertise on the logistics required to mobilise teams of project workers was a critical consideration in SilverBack’s next big strategic move.
We wanted to scale up our support team as project numbers and size increased, and it was Aneta who moved back to her Polish homeland to set up and build our Lublin office in 2016. More than a decade later and 20+-strong, the Lublin team has been a huge factor in enabling SilverBack to grow.
Of course, growth brings complexity. Aneta believes a strong sustainability mind-set is integral to how SilverBack grows from here and maintains “a safe workplace for all”.
Also, her focus on innovation and on driving SilverBack’s digital transition over recent and upcoming years is key to delivering a positive experience for all stakeholders.
That’s great news for clients, staff and colleagues who expect SilverBack in the future to grow sustainably and bring expert leadership to hugely demanding new-industry projects.
No doubt, Aneta will tell that future story too.
