Our Asset Transformation Teams are looking for YOU!

We are Uniper

At Uniper, we are pro-actively transforming the world of energy whilst at the same time ensuring security of energy supply. As an internationally operating company, we work in very diverse teams with the greatest possible working time flexibility for our employees. Our corporate culture is characterized by equal opportunities, mutual appreciation, and respect. With us, you will be able to develop new business models, work on technological solutions for a modern, sustainable, and future-oriented energy supply as well as pro-actively help to shape changes. Interested? Then we will look forward to meeting you!

Your responsibilities

• During the 18–24 months trainee program, you will develop a deep understanding of Uniper’s asset portfolio, transformation strategy, and the broader energy market landscape.
• You will learn from, collaborate with, and be mentored by experts across multiple disciplines within Uniper – gaining hands-on experience, contributing your ideas, and managing your own projects.
• You will be part of our active trainee community, benefit from a wide range of training and development opportunities, and build a strong internal network across the company.
• You will begin your program in the Asset Transformation unit for the first six months, where you will work closely with colleagues to shape Uniper’s transition towards a sustainable and decarbonized asset base. After that, you will rotate flexibly based on your personal development interests – designing your own individual placement plan with support from your dedicated mentor.
• In your predefined home unit Asset Transformation, you will support strategic asset lifecycle planning, contribute to decarbonization initiatives, evaluate business cases for asset conversions or closures, and work on investment planning and portfolio development projects – all while contributing to Uniper’s energy transition goals.
• We are looking for two trainees across different focus areas within Asset Transformation, Asset Compliance, and in the Portfolio Office. If you have a preferred area, please indicate this in your application.
