Who We Are Looking For 

You are currently enrolled in a relevant university programme, for example within data science, computer science, engineering, information management, business analytics, economics, mathematics, or a similar field.

It is an advantage, but not a requirement, if you have experience with one or more relevant tools or concepts, such as Python, SQL, Power BI, enterprise architecture, data governance, or technical documentation. 

What We Offer: 

• A flexible student position that can be adapted to your studies 

• Exposure to large-scale data and analytics initiatives within the energy sector 

• Experience working in an international environment with Nordic stakeholders
