If you are interested in joining the Vestas Graduate Programme, you might have some practical and technical questions. You find the answers to the most frequently asked questions in our FAQ section below.
If you have further questions you are welcome to contact us at: graduateprogramme@vestas.com
The Graduate posting is listed under Denmark, does that mean that you only accept Graduates in Denmark?
No. You should look under the track description on the website, to see which regions are included in the specific Track. If you have a work permit in one of these regions, you can apply. Our application system requires that a country is chosen, this is why it says Denmark. To see all available Graduate Tracks, only type “graduate” in the search area. Do not choose a country.
When can I send my application?
The programme runs twice a year. Positions for Team September will be launched in February/March and job interviews conducted the following month. Positions for Team March will be launched in September/October with job interviews in November /December. The positions will be available at Vestas.com/jobs – search for ‘Graduate’.
Can I send an unsolicited application to the Programme?
We do not accept unsolicited applications or resumes, but we encourage you to keep an eye on our website when the positions are launched.
Can I send my application by e-mail?
We only accept applications through our e-recruitment system, which you can find at www.vestas.com/jobs.
All positions are listed under Denmark, does that mean that you only accept Graduates in Denmark?
No. You should look under the job posting, to see which regions are included in the specific Track. If you have a work permit in one of these regions, you can apply.

Can I apply for more than one graduate track?
The tracks are divided into different areas, such as e.g. Finance, Sales/Projects or Technology R&D, but it is still possible for you to apply for more than one track. When applying you must upload a cover letter for each of the tracks you are interested in. You will be asked to choose your first priority track, and this is the track you will be assessed for first. At a later stage, the recruitment team will evaluate which of the tracks you have applied for, matches your background and competencies best..
What should I attach with my application?
Please attach a motivated application relevant to the position, CV and latest University papers showing your grades. Relevant written references are also welcome. All documents must be in English.
