Are you ready for a career that takes you on an international adventure in the oil and shipping industry? Can you picture yourself gaining hands-on experience from day one and playing a role in the movement of the world’s fleet and advancing global trade?  

What does it mean to be a trainee with us? 

You will become part of a global two-year programme that offers valuable insights into how we fuel global trade and take responsibility in the future of shipping. You will be able to apply your learning right from the start, and you will gain further shipping knowledge through Danish Shipping Education with the Danish Shipping Academy and other internal sessions with our own Academy. 

Buckle up for global rotations (2 x 1,5 months) across our offices such as Singapore, China, UAE, Denmarks, Houston, New York, Cyprus or Panama. This will give you firsthand experiences and understanding of different business contexts and cultures. In every office, we have an inclusive environment that oozes of team spirit and a multi-cultural vibe. We truly cherish moments spent together, also beyond work. All of this will give you a feeling of being home away from home during your rotations.
