What you will experience
As Joakim, a former International Trainee based in Stockholm explains “I expected beforehand that working at a corporate would mean only serious business. We do focus on learning and growth and bringing new perspectives to the company, but we also have fun and add humor and lightness. I feel like we are the change the company wants to see.”
Your role as a Trainee Hydro Power Optimisation and Data Analytics Engineer
As a Hydro Power Optimisation and Data Analytics Engineer Trainee, you will join Production Support, a specialist and development function that supports safe, efficient and flexible hydropower production through optimisation, data analysis, digital tools and common working methods.
You will work closely with optimisation and development engineers, as well as colleagues in Production, Control Centres, Asset Management, IT and Markets. Together, you will turn operational and market-related needs into analyses, decision support and practical improvements for the operation of our generating units.
