Give your career a powerful start!

Are you ready to make your mark in empowering the green transformation and creating a sustainable society? Are you a newly graduated or soon-to-be graduate from a Swedish university with a Master's degree in electrical engineering, general engineering, physics, electric power engineering, mechanics or a similar field?

Life at NKT

NKT is committed to fostering a diverse organization and a culture where people from different backgrounds can thrive and are inspired to perform at their best. We believe that a diverse organization enables sustainable performance, and that an inclusive and welcoming culture makes a better place to work. Being part of NKT opens a world of future career opportunities as well as learning possibilities.

You will join and rotate amongst highly skilled teams, based in Alingsås. This site has a state-of-the-art production facility and has recently finalized the building of a new High Voltage Test Hall for manufacturing high voltage and medium voltage cable accessories. Alingsås has a leading R&D department and produces the very important joints and terminations for some of our times biggest cable projects. It is also situated close to Gothenburg.

Eager to kick-start your career in a global company with endless opportunities?

The NKT Trainee program starts in early September 2025 and lasts over 18 months. You will be permanently employed from day one with all the benefits that our employees normally have. Business needs as well as your ambitions will determine within which department in Alingsås you will have your fixed position after the trainee year. During the program, you will take part in a high-profile project together with other trainees, sponsored by one of our senior business leaders.

The program includes job-rotation blocks, one of which is international. The objective of the rotations is for you to achieve a solid end-to-end understanding of NKT, our culture, and for you to develop a broad network across the organization.

During the various rotations, you will get the responsibility for well-defined tasks and solve problems that are typical for NKT.

The rotation abroad will accelerate your personal growth in an international environment. Together with your manager, you will decide which international rotation best serves to complete your trainee year and give you the best prerequisites for a continued career at NKT.

The overall setup of the trainee program will give you a unique possibility to get to know the industry and company from the ground up, work in an international environment, across functions, and to establish a strong company network. The various parts include both theoretical as well as practical aspects, and tailor-designed trainings will be integrated into your program.

Ambitious, collaborative and highly motivated talents

We are looking for newly graduated (or soon-to-be) talents with a Master's degree in electrical engineering, general engineering, physics, electric power engineering, mechanics or a similar field?

We assume you have a high technical interest as well as great eagerness to acquire new knowledge and skills.

In addition to this, you are an analytical problem solver, you take great responsibility for your work, and possess excellent communication skills.
