About the role

Procurement Intelligence & Sustainability helps Fortum make data‑driven, responsible sourcing decisions and oversees key procurement development activities.

As a Summer Trainee, you will support our supplier sustainability and procurement initiatives. Depending on your profile, you can focus more on sustainability due diligence and supplier engagement, or data/market intelligence and analytics — or a blend of both.

Your assignments may include:

• Supporting supplier sustainability initiatives and responsible sourcing projects

• Contributing to data analysis, market intelligence, and reporting

• Synthesizing findings in a clear and understandable way for non-experts

The exact focus areas and assignments will be defined based on your background, experience, and interests. The position is located at Fortum’s headquarters in Espoo, Finland.

About you

We are looking for proactive, curious students who are eager to learn and contribute to sustainable and data-driven procurement.

We hope you apply if you:

• Are pursuing university studies in Industrial Engineering & Management, Economics, Sustainability/Environmental Management, Supply Chain/Procurement, Data/Analytics, or similar

• Have strong analytical skills and proficiency with Excel; familiarity with Power BI or other data visualization tools is a plus

• Are interested in sustainable supply chains and responsible sourcing

• Can synthesize findings clearly for non-experts

• Are proactive, organized, and comfortable working independently during holiday periods

• Are a collaborative team player

• Have working proficiency in English; Finnish is an advantage

We offer you

At Fortum, we value our summer trainees and want to make your experience both meaningful and rewarding.

During the summer you will:

• Receive an introduction to your tasks and be supported by your team. We are committed to building a team where everyone feels valued. Mutual trust, believing in one another, and taking care of everyone’s well-being help us achieve better results

• Work with interesting and diverse tasks with real responsibility (e.g., collecting emission data from our supply chains)

• Enjoy a hybrid work model with flexible hours, allowing you to balance remote and in-office work

• Learn about Fortum, the energy industry, and the sustainable solutions we are working with

• Network with other summer trainees

• Gain valuable experience that can support your future career. Many of our trainees continue after the summer, working part-time while continuing studies or as thesis workers
