Become a graduate

Our graduate programme is aimed at recent graduates – primarily engineers and architectural technology and construction managers.

The graduate programme typically lasts 3–3.5 years. During the programme, you will rotate between several specialist areas and spend approximately one year in each. For MT Højgaard Danmark, the graduate programme is a strategic investment that gives you the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in areas such as project management, production management and tender calculation.

We tailor the rotations based on your skills and development needs, while also aligning them with our business needs and focus areas. This gives you a unique insight into our business and different disciplines and enables you to create value from day one.

As a graduate at MT Højgaard Danmark, you will build a broad network of highly skilled and dedicated colleagues whom you can learn from and spar with. You will also become part of our graduate network, which meets for both professional and social events. It is a network where you can also discuss the challenges and opportunities typically encountered as a graduate.
