Join our two-years trainee program

Danfoss Drives has designed a tailored program for trainees who want to develop professionally and personally in Sales as well as in an international company with more than 37,000 colleagues worldwide. We are growing both within the core industries we serve as well as in many new areas related to the green transition such as electrification, energy storage and more. 

With our Sales Trainee Program we want to enable you to work in different sales functions, shadowing our service technicians and collaborate with our local and global teams. 

You will be given the opportunity to take ownership from an early stage onward once you have acquired all necessary skills for this development stage and once you feel ready. After twelve months, we will have a check in and assess your career progression to start your further career planning.

    Why should you join as Sales Trainee in Danfoss Drives?

    As part of our team, you will be able to guide customers to sustainable solutions in storage, charger and hydrogen as well as marine & offshore applications.

    Intensive onboarding and trainings

    When joining Danfoss Drives as a sales trainee, you will have a global DDS onboarding at our headquarter in Denmark, as well as with your local sales team. In frequent intervals, there will be check-ins where you and your manager will discuss your further career planning and areas in which you want to develop more in-depth skills and competencies. You will receive extensive training on relevant Danfoss Drives products as well.

    Internationality

    When applying to the Sales Trainee Program you have the choice between joining our team in Germany or the Netherlands. However, one thing that they all have in common is a commitment to your growth. As you will move from co-visits to managing your own customer accounts and budget there will be lots of opportunities to interact with teams from all over the world. In fact, almost all teams in Danfoss are international. You will always become part of a diverse working environment regardless of the country you will be located in.

    Upon starting your journey with us, you will be matched with an experienced colleague acting as your personal mentor. Your mentor will support you throughout the entire program and frequently touch base with you to see how you are doing and discuss anything that might come up on your end. This person will be your always-go-to-person for any concerns or matters that might need more attention. Your mentor will try to provide you the best possible guidance for your experience as a trainee.
