Building the energy system of the future

The Helen Trainee Program is a six‑month program where you’ll grow as a professional and learn about the energy transition, future energy solutions, project work and sustainability from the perspective of both your own field and the wider energy sector.

In the program, each trainee is given an individual development path, and trainees also work together on a shared, group‑level development project during the program. Your career development throughout the program is supported by your own mentor and coach, with whom you’ll meet regularly.

Grow with us into a world‑class professional

The energy sector and the journey towards a non-combustion-based energy production requires expertise from a wide range of educational backgrounds. To succeed as a trainee, you don’t need to be a ready‑made energy expert – what matters most is a curious mindset, a hunger for learning, and a desire to grow into a professional in your own field.

We’re looking for world‑class talent, from recent graduates to those with a few years of work experience. A background in business, law or technology is an advantage, but it’s enough that you’re interested in learning about energy‑related topics. The positions are located in our new offices in We Land, Ruoholahti, Helsinki, but at Helen we also work flexibly remotely. More detailed language requirements are specified for each position in the job description.

“The six‑month trainee period offered a great opportunity to gain an in‑depth understanding of how the energy sector operates, and it was rewarding to work on things that are part of everyone’s everyday life.”

  1. Start early
    Job hunting takes time. You often need to tailor your CV and cover letter to the specific position, so remember to allocate enough time for planning and completing your applications. A well-crafted job application is more likely to grab attention!
  2. Update your CV and LinkedIn profile
    Your CV should have the most up-to-date information about your work experience, job descriptions, and your most recent educational background. You can also include your LinkedIn profile in your application, where you should pay special attention to your introduction. Think of a high-quality job application and LinkedIn profile as your own sales pitch!
  3. Prepare your elevator pitch about your skills
    Job interviews often last only an hour, and there's a lot to discuss. Think in advance about what you want to tell us during the interview. What kind of employee and person are you? What motivates you and why did you apply for this position specifically? How would your skills help you in the job you're applying for? What kind of career path do you dream of, and what kind of team would you like to work with? Well-structured thoughts come across to the other side of the interview table, and we appreciate good preparation.
  4. Be yourself
    There's no need to be nervous, as we're just ordinary people too. Therefore, we don't expect superhuman qualities from our new colleagues either. Let your personality shine through!
  5. Be brave to ask
    Remember that a job interview is always a two-way street, where you can also evaluate whether Helen would be a suitable employer for you. Ask questions about things that concern you during the interview and be curious. This way, you'll get a better understanding of the scope of the job and you might learn some details that we wouldn't have otherwise mentioned.
