NyEx: Securing future technical expertise

At Nynas, we offer the NyEx Trainee Program for newly graduated chemical and mechanical engineers. The program is designed to attract and develop young talent by providing hands-on experience, broad industry exposure and an opportunity to start building a career at Nynas.

The program typically offers 4–6 trainee positions, depending on business needs and available opportunities.

The NyEx program was first launched at the Nynäshamn refinery in 2017 and has since been offered five times, most recently in September 2024. The program reflects our long-term commitment to developing future capabilities and giving emerging talent the opportunity to grow within Nynas.

• Program duration: Approximately 10 months, with the ambition of providing participants with opportunities for a long-term career at Nynas.
• Program structure: Through introductions, practical experience and rotations within different parts of Manufacturing, trainees gain a broad understanding of Nynas, our operations and the industry.
• Long-term focus: NyEx is a strategic part of our long-term talent development and workforce planning, rather than an annual program.

Collaborations with Universities

We believe in maintaining strong connections with academia to stay at the forefront of research and to inspire the engineers of tomorrow.

• Lectures and presentations: For example, a Nynas expert and lecturer at KTH Royal Institute of Technology has held presentations for chemical engineering students over the past two years, which have been very well-received. Read more about it here: Nynas experts lecture at KTH. We also collaborate with the Chemical Engineering program at KTH, welcoming second-year students to our site for an annual study visit.
• Industrial Doctoral opportunities: We support industrial doctoral candidates, fostering cutting-edge research collaborations.
• Student Engagement: We attend nearby university fairs annually to connect with students and showcase career opportunities at Nynas. We also participate in Pre-University programs through Berzelius Days, where we engage with students before they enter university.
• These collaborations ensure our employees stay updated on the latest research while inspiring students to consider a future with Nynas.

Thesis work opportunities

Looking for an exciting topic for your Bachelor’s or Master’s thesis? At Nynas, we offer a limited number of thesis opportunities for students in science and engineering. Availability depends on suitable projects and the resources available within our teams.

A thesis at Nynas is an opportunity to put your knowledge into practice, contribute to real-world projects and gain valuable experience from working in an international industrial environment.

Check the Careers section of our website for current thesis opportunities.

Local partnerships and summer work

• Campus Nynäshamn: Locally, we partner with Campus Nynäshamn, which offers vocational training programs. We provide internship opportunities for students enrolled in the Process Operators program and the Automation technician program. Learn more about this educational opportunity here: Campus Nynäshamn Process Operator Program and Automationstekniker - Campus Nynäshamn
• Summer workers: Every year, we offer a few summer job opportunities to students. Our Quality Control Lab and Bitumen Lab at the Nynäshamn manufacturing site typically have one or two students working during the summer. These positions are often filled by students who have completed their first year in a Chemical Engineering program.

At Nynas, we are committed to supporting students at every stage of their journey, from internship, thesis work and summer work to establish relationship and potential employment.
