Work on some of the most important technological and environmental challenges facing the world today - join us at the forefront of innovation and industrial digitalization and create a legacy you can be proud of!
The program is 18 months long and you choose your own adventure. You will pick 3 assignments, each 6 months long, where you get the opportunity to create real value and learn about our various businesses. The assignments are usually specific projects that you take ownership and responsibility for, and because you choose them, you decide what to focus on. Want to step out of your comfort zone or dig into your biggest passions? During your time as a Trainee, you can do both. Explore different business areas and roles, broaden your network and find the perfect fit for you.
