The Traineeship in 5 Steps

1. You will start in the Cleopatra Enterprise Academy with an intensive training program. You will learn everything you need to know about Cleopatra Enterprise and our software tool Cleopatra.
2. Do you have all the theoretical knowledge? Good! We can now choose the competence center that suits you best.
3. After you choose a competence center, a senior colleague will guide you through the onboarding program. You will be up to speed in no time by working with this senior colleague and asking the right questions to enhance your knowledge.
4. If you have reached all your goals, your traineeship will end, but your development won’t stop here. If you would like to broaden your knowledge and experience, you can switch to other competence centers.
5. Completing the traineeship marks a new phase of your career at Cleopatra Enterprise. However, we will still stimulate you to develop yourself by participating in a personal development plan.

You are a master student who completed your study in mechanical, aerospace, process engineering, offshore & dredging, civil, physics, chemical, or structural engineering.

You speak English fluently as you will be following a lot of courses as part of your career development by participating in certification programs and training courses, such as DACE and AACE certification trainings and internal courses.

You have a great affinity with mathematics, statistics, and engineering software. You will need this while working with our in-house developed software Cleopatra Enterprise.

Colleague Experiences

Robin, Cost Engineer working on the ITER project:
“I had a desire to acquire work experience abroad, and I found it here. After a year of attending the traineeship programme and participating in some smaller assignments, I went to France about a year and a half. Now I’m in Cologne and after that, it’s back to France. If you need a highly varied job with the occasional abroad experience, you’ll feel right at home at Cleopatra Enterprise.”
