We’ll offer you an intensive two-year learning journey that will allow you to develop your talent, boost your career, and play your part in creating a world that runs entirely on green energy.
Step closer to a career with purpose
This is a development programme for new graduates who want to step into a fun and challenging role within their field and learn on the go.
To qualify for the two-year programme, you’ll have a bachelor’s or master’s degree in business, finance, law, procurement, engineering, science, IT, or other related fields.
If this sounds like you, simply apply for one of the graduate positions advertised online. If you’re accepted onto the programme, you’ll have the unique opportunity to work in two to three different teams at Ørsted, giving you the chance to work on several projects to build your experience and knowledge.
When you’re hired as part of the graduate programme, you’re hired on a permanent employment contract from day one. Positions for our 2023 programme will go live on 1 December, 2022. Find out more in the How to apply section.
You’re not chosen as a graduate – you’re hired for a career!
The ideal career kick-starter, this renewable energy graduate programme offers structured development and extensive learning and networking opportunities.
During your two or three rotations in different teams, you’ll work with subject matter experts on real projects and tasks, while receiving training on the go.
You’ll meet and interact with your fellow graduates and build a strong network across the organisation, as well as with other experts within your field.
The programme is designed to boost your learning and development within these three areas:
Business experience
This is the backbone of your learning and development, where you’ll apply your expertise to influence day-to-day business decisions. You'll build your capabilities through your two to three rotations, get involved in international project work, and take real responsibility from day one.
Networking
You’ll have a senior career mentor and a buddy who’ll help you make the most of your talent. Throughout the programme, you’ll participate in development sessions with your mentor, buddy, and fellow graduates to support your on-the-job learning. Your mentor will guide, encourage, and challenge you to increase your awareness of your strengths.
Innovation & collaboration
Innovation has made Ørsted a global leader in renewable energy, and we’re constantly looking for ideas that’ll help us improve everything from processes to technology. Here, you’ll explore exponential thinking together with other graduates and learn how to master high-speed innovation, applying technologies to create ideas with an impact on the future.
What we’re looking for in a candidate:
- a high level of ambition with strong personal drive
- an international, collaborative mindset
- an open-minded attitude with good listening skills
- a desire to make the most of the programme opportunities
- an innovative approach and a readiness to bring fresh ideas to the table
