I’d always been interesting in a career in the energy sector as it is the backbone of society, demand will continue to grow and I also wanted to be involved in the development of an energy system which will enable current and future generations to live in a healthy, safe and sustainable environment.

Our goal is fossil freedom. We're working towards a future where everyone can choose fossil free ways to move, make and live. To succeed we, as one of Europe's leading energy companies, must be completely fossil free ourselves. But that’s not enough. That’s why we're working with a broad range of partners, to push forward the boundaries of energy production, to make fossil free power and heat widely accessible for people and businesses, to decarbonise manufacturing and transport. We lead by action, identifying areas where we can be a first mover and inspiring others to follow us and multiply our impact. Join us as we work for fossil freedom.

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of humankind. Are you willing to rise to the challenge? Then now is the time to start your climate-smart career as one of our international trainees.
