Calling all Bachelor students in Maskinmester for the Vestas Bachelor internship program (4 month duration). Are you about to finish your Maskinmester education and are ready to take your career to the next level? Would you like to play an important part in taking action against climate change? If so, take a look at this electrifying opportunity to be part of our bachelor internship program as a Commissioning Supervisor in our Offshore Execution - Installation & Commissioning department. Offshore Execution - Installation & Commissioning is at the heart of Vestas’ project execution and covers several different work scopes and your actual work location will be on our many different projects around Europe and Asia Pacific regions.

Department
In Offshore Execution - Installation & Commissioning we are excited to have a skilled and committed team of highly qualified supervisors, ready to support our projects and ad hoc assignments in Europe and beyond. Our supervisors work on activities in commissioning on-/offshore, supporting some of the largest wind farm projects in the world. This entails working on large scale components which requires a mindset of safety and solid leadership skills. So, if you are looking to join a team, where people want to be tested and are highly motivated to find solutions, then we want to hear from you.

The Role
You will work as an intern at a technical level in a role that reflects how your daily work will look like after you graduate. We will together identify a topic for your bachelor's thesis that is based on a relevant case for the company and is at the same time central to the machinist profession.

In practice, the nature of the work is relevant to the machinist education and consists of both development oriented tasks and tasks of a more routine nature. As an intern, you participate in our regular work processes and thus become an essential part of everyday life. The tasks can include operation and maintenance of systems as well as optimisation of processes in all types of technical systems. Additionally, you may assist with planning tasks, management etc. with a particular focus on optimisation, operation, safety and the environment.

Responsibilities
In a Commissioning Supervisor internship, you will be part of the on and offshore completion team, with whom you will work closely in getting the Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) from installation, through commissioning and into operation. You must take all necessary actions to comply with Vestas' safety and quality standards. This bachelor internship program starts with an induction in February 2025 at our headquarters in Aarhus, followed by GWO training. Subsequently, you will start your work rotations, typically consisting of 2.5 weeks on project and 1.5 weeks at home, giving you optimal conditions for working on your thesis. During the bachelor internship program, Vestas will ensure an ongoing dialogue with you on work performance and future employment possibilities, as a supervisor in the commissioning team. In addition, more project-specific training can also be part of your program and during your rotation you can expect to be staffed on both day and night shifts.

After the successful bachelor internship period and a passed exam, you have the opportunity to be offered a permanent contract as a Commissioning Supervisor, getting that highly technical experience and know how, opening endless possibilities within Vestas and the industry.

Furthermore, you will learn about the following:

• Electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic work on WTG’s
• Execute WTG completion and start ups
• Troubleshoot, operate, and maintain WTG’s
• Maintenance of WTG’s and equipment
• Ensure a safe work environment by acting in compliance with Vestas’ HSE (Health & Safety Environment) requirements
• Ad hoc task in different departments across Vestas’ value chain

Qualifications

• Currently enrolled in a Bachelor program in Maskinmester
• Effective communication skills in English, both written and verbal
