St1 Energy Transition Talent Program 2026
Now is your time to spark!
At St1, we believe that driving the energy transition needs bold and talented people. We aim to build a strong talent pipeline, preparing young professionals for senior roles while fostering an inclusive culture of growth. Our Talent Program is designed to support our energy transition journey and offer development opportunities within the company. The program identifies and nurtures potential leaders, equipping them with a well-rounded skill to one day lead the change.
This is not an ordinary graduate program
St1 Energy Transition Talent Program is a commercial and strategy focused program tailored for ambitious individuals who want to be at the forefront of the energy transition.
In January 2026, 3-4 candidates will start a 18-month rotation journey, during which they will explore three different roles in different units. Each rotation lasts about 6 months and can based in Finland, Sweden, Norway or the UK. From day one, you are a full-time, permanent employee. The program is a steppingstone to a long-term role, one that builds on what you’ve learned and defined together during the journey.
This approach ensures you gain a holistic understanding of our organization while developing your skills across various domains. Every day is a learning experience through hands-on work, collaboration and development. You get to execute energy transition across our value chains and build your personal and professional growth.
You will have your own unique training path, designed to match your interests and skills with our business needs. We will help out with the practical arrangements of your rotations. Bring your spark and grow beyond the ordinary.
Are you the one we are looking for?
You can be recently graduated, at the early stages of your career or already have some experience. If you have a technical or business degree, have a proven track record at studies or in the workplace and are passionate about driving change, this program is your chance to shine. A commercial mindset is essential, as it is a drive to understand how business, technology, and regulation intersect— particularly in the context of the energy transition.
Our ideal candidate will also have the qualities needed to thrive in the ever-changing and complex environment of energy transition: innovative and sustainable thinking, adaptability and resilience, a collaborative spirit, eager for continuous learning and solving problems, and leadership potential.
We value diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and ways of thinking. Whether your path has been traditional or unconventional, if you’re driven by impact and learning, we hope you will apply.
