What are we looking for?
We are looking for individuals from various educational and professional backgrounds, and the program is intended for both those completing their university studies and those who have been in the working life for few years. A background in business, legal or technical education is an advantage, but for us it's enough that you're interested in learning about the energy industry! One of our values is mastery of collaboration, which is why we require good communication and teamwork skills from all Helen employees. To succeed in the role, you don't need to be a ready-made energy expert; what's most important is a lust for learning and enthusiasm for the job.
