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.

You do not need extensive professional experience. What matters most is that you are curious, structured, and comfortable taking ownership of practical tasks — from organizing documentation and following up on details to supporting colleagues with day-to-day needs.

We are looking for someone who

• Is detail-oriented and follows tasks through carefully
• Enjoys turning information into clear documentation, guides, or overviews that others can use
• Communicates clearly in writing and verbally
• Can work independently while also asking for input when needed
• Has an interest in data, analytics, and digital platforms
• Is comfortable using Microsoft Office tools

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
• Insight into data governance, analytics platforms, and digital transformation
• Opportunities to build practical skills that are highly relevant for a future career in data and analytics
• A friendly and collaborative team with experienced data scientists, data engineers, and analytics specialists
