So get ready to find the work and choose the challenges that really inspire you.

Whether we’re delivering power to millions, leading the rapid growth of offshore wind, or trading in new areas across the globe, RWE is at the forefront of the energy industry.

That's why we want you.

You’ll learn about our global business from the inside – taking on responsibilities with real impact, and being able to gain experience in all aspects of finance. Potential areas you could gain exposure to are:

• Controlling
• Risk Management
• Accounting
• Planning & Reporting
• Economic Evaluation
• Portfolio Management
• Investor Relations
• …and many more

Whichever team you join, you’ll be welcomed as an equal. Your perspective will be valued. You’ll be trusted to deliver the work you’re given. And with each new rotation, you’ll develop the skills and knowledge you need to become an industry expert.

The qualities you’ll bring

• Enthusiasm and drive to develop your skillset and seek out development opportunities within a supportive team

A community of support
You’ll become part of a vibrant and diverse early careers network that extends far beyond the office you’re in. You’ll also have a buddy and a mentor to support you and plenty of training courses and seminars to build your knowledge. And your career path will be yours to shape, throughout the programme and beyond. Around 80% of our grads stay on long after their programmes have finished. You’ll soon discover why.
