Vacant job

Now, as a newly graduated engineer, you have the opportunity to kickstart your career at a company working with cutting-edge technology! Do you have a strong technical interest and thrive when working right in the center of production? At Hydro Extrusion in Vetlanda, we are looking for you who want to become part of their trainee program in production technology!

About the role

Hydro Extrusion is a world-leading aluminum extrusion business with a strong focus on future technology. The company has around 100 production facilities in 40 different countries with approximately 20,000 employees. Through their unique combination of local expertise and a global network, they offer everything from standard profiles to advanced development and manufacturing for most industries.

Now, together with Hydro Extrusion in Vetlanda, we offer a structured and developmental trainee program where, over 12 months, you will have the opportunity to learn the business from the ground up, apply your skills, and build a broad network. The program alternates between practical work and projects with internal department rotations. Every fifth week, you will have the chance to spend a week in another department, which you will largely help design yourself. This is to build a holistic understanding of the business. The trainee year concludes with an international exchange of approximately one month at one of Hydro's factories in Europe! After the trainee year, you will receive a permanent position within the organization based on the company's needs and your own interests.

To fit the role of trainee, we believe you are driven by a technical interest and thrive in a role close to operations. You are motivated by learning new things and want to develop in a high-tech environment.

What we offer

• A structured and developmental trainee program to kickstart your career.
• A personal mentor who follows you throughout the entire trainee year.
• An individual development plan adapted to your skills, interests, and Hydro's future needs.

Responsibilities

The trainee program is designed to give you a holistic understanding of production technology through practical work, project management, and networking across the entire organization in a high-tech environment.

You will work closely with daily production and alongside experienced production technicians.

Your days will consist of, among other things:

• Participate in both operational and development-oriented tasks within production and technology.

• Be involved in improvement and development initiatives related to the business's needs.
• Build a broad network within Hydro and get to know their production sites and ways of working.
• Develop through continuous dialogue with your mentor and regular follow-ups on your development plan.
• Collaborate with operators, maintenance, and managers to optimize operations.

We are looking for you who
