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 clean energy.
Step closer to a career with a purpose
This is a development program for new graduates who want to step into a fun and challenging role within their field and embark on an intense learning journey. Through our program, we aim to forge innovative future leaders and specialists who’ll shape Ørsted’s journey to being a true catalyst of systemic change towards a greener future.
To qualify for the two-year program, you’ll have graduated with good credentials and have a bachelor’s, master’s, or equivalent degree in business, finance, law, procurement, engineering, science, IT, or another related field.
If this sounds like you, simply apply for one of our graduate positions advertised online. If you’re accepted into the program, you’ll have the unique opportunity of working 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 program, you’re hired on a permanent employment contract from day one. 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 program 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 organization as well as with other experts within your field.
The program 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 program, 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 a real impact on the future.
We look for curious minds excited to collaborate globally through a holistic recruitment approach where the big picture matters. By the end of the process, we will have gotten to know each other better.
