Hear from our Talents
Teamwork is a skill I deeply value, and one that I believe will remain essential throughout my career. By collaborating and evolving together, we can achieve far more than we could individually. I see this clearly in R&D, where innovation is often driven by collective effort.

Good to know

Your questions, answered

Starting out in your professional career naturally brings up a few questions. Here is a quick guide to what you can expect when joining Kanadevia Inova.

There are several ways to get started. You can gain practical experience alongside your studies through a working student role or an internship, or work with our experts on a real-world topic for your bachelor’s or master’s thesis. After graduation, you can explore a traineeship or graduate programme, or apply directly for a junior role. Apprenticeships offer another route into a technical profession, combining practical training with theory. The opportunities available depend on the location, so check our current openings for the routes offered near you.

You could work in engineering, project management, operations and technical services, or a business function such as finance, procurement, HR or communications. Our teams develop, build, operate and maintain plants that recover energy and valuable resources from waste. That work brings together people from different disciplines and continues long after a plant is built. Where you contribute depends on your role, but you can expect to learn from experienced colleagues while working on real projects.

We look for curiosity, initiative and a willingness to work with others on complex challenges. You do not need to know everything on your first day. We value people who ask questions, share their perspective, communicate clearly and stay open to learning when things do not go to plan. Different roles call for different technical, commercial or project skills. The qualifications, language skills and certificates required for a particular position are listed in its job posting.

Your onboarding helps you get to know your role, your team and the company. You will learn from experienced colleagues as you begin contributing to their work, and you will have people you can turn to with questions. Depending on your role and location, development opportunities may include mentoring, technical training, language courses and access to thousands of digital learning resources. The exact support and onboarding process can vary, but the aim is to give you the information, contacts and guidance you need for a good start.

Yes. You can build expertise through real work, training and collaboration with colleagues across functions, projects and countries. Some early-career programmes offer structured experience across teams or projects. As your interests and experience develop, opportunities may also arise in other roles, disciplines or locations. The next step will depend on your goals and the positions available. Your path does not have to follow a single direction.
