Trainee in Production Planning

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 be based abroad. 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 in the field of production scheduling. As trainee, you will quickly take on responsibility for minimizing material losses and you will learn the ins and outs of the sequence planning for our manufacturing equipment. In coordination with the production departments, you will cultivate your talent for communication and improve your IT expertise as a user of our production scheduling software “Scheduler” (by Quinitq). Finally, we will be counting on your clever ideas when it comes to standardizing and implementing our production processes.

Your qualifications

You can plan your future with us when you finish your Engineering or Computer Science degree with either good or very good results. It would be of particular interest to us if you have studied mechanical engineering, focusing on production scheduling, or if you are a recent graduate in industrial engineer dedicated to production management or technical controlling. As a prospective professional, you will also ideally have finished an (international) internship in a production-based industrial company. In any case, you stand out thanks to your affinity for numbers and IT. You already know a programming language and how to work with databases? Brilliant! We also require you to be able to work practically with MS Office. If you can communicate professionally, and in English and German as well, and work in both a systematic and structured way on top of all this, then we would like to get to know you.

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.
