Trainee in Technical Customer Service Lithography

Our program for your success

We are committed to preparing you for the job. The Hydro Trainee Program leaves nothing to chance: We will start by discussing your individual assignment plan for the program, which lasts 15 months or more. You will spend three to six months in different departments at two or more sites – one of which will likely be in Norway. Throughout the program you will receive support from our HR department and your personal mentor. You will also benefit from our international on-boarding program, numerous training courses, and networking events where you will have the opportunity to meet other Hydro trainees. By the end of the program, you will be ready for the challenges involved in technical customer service. As a trainee, you will be working closely together with our production department and international customers on “your” projects. In doing so, you will be able to define and fine tune customer requirements, check their feasibility, and then coordinate the subsequent development work. All of this will be carried out in cooperation with your colleagues in the technical customer service, in research and development, and in quality assurance and production. In addition, you will get to learn about technical marketing and product certification. In short: you will be doing everything to make sure that the customer receives the best possible quality at the end of the day.

Your qualifications

You will get the “green light” if you combine a good or very good degree in Mechanical Engineering or Metallurgy with a solid knowledge of economics. Another possibility: a degree in Economics with technical expertise. Do you know your stuff when it comes to industrial engineering? Even better. As a potential professional, you will ideally impress us with the international internships you have completed, as well as a maximum of two years’ professional experience. This will help you to understand the term “service” inside out. Do you enjoy being out and about? Brilliant, because you will get to know our customers on-site. With so many areas being highly detailed, it goes without saying that you have a knack for numbers, but most of all that you are a good communicator - even in English and in German.

Our offer

With customized advanced training and development measures, we continue to help you develop even after the end of the program. We will hone your leadership qualities and offer a lot of room to change thanks to our diversity and locations around the globe. And if you’re planning on starting a family: we are certified according to the German "berufundfamilie" (work and family) audit, and even have an on-site daycare facility.
