Cadets – Start your maritime career at sea
Every year, we welcome around 100 cadets from Swedish maritime education programmes. As a cadet on board our vessels, you gain hands-on experience, professional guidance and a clear path into working life. For many, this is the first step towards a long-term career with Wallenius Marine, and a large number of our former cadets return to us for permanent positions in officer and technical roles.
How to apply:
Cadet positions are offered on a continuous basis in close cooperation with maritime schools. Available placements are announced and assigned through the respective maritime schools.
Students – Learn through real projects
We collaborate closely with maritime upper secondary schools and universities in Sweden. For students, we offer:
- Summer jobs in cooperation with Lighthouse
- Bachelor and master thesis opportunities connected to real projects
This allows you to apply your knowledge to real challenges in shipping, ship operations and development.
How to apply:
Summer job opportunities are offered in selected periods, often in cooperation with Lighthouse. Information about upcoming opportunities will be published here.
