Why work at Vopak

Thomas Visser
Management Trainee

I have always been very interested in the global energy markets and how the energy transition will create new opportunities for the import and export of renewable energy and sustainable feedstocks. When you are working for Vopak you are right in the middle of it! As a Management Trainee, I got the opportunity to first work in the Operations department at one of the largest energy terminals. Afterwards I moved to the New Energy & LNG team, where I am currently working on developing low-carbon supply chains for new and existing customers.

Sander de Jong
Management Trainee

The port is the place where it happens. And Vopak is a company that can make it happen. It is a leading company with the influence, pioneering spirit and right set of values to make a difference and help accelerate the energy transition. The dynamic and multidisciplinary character of the company really appealed to me.

Emma Zomer
Management Trainee

I was looking for a company with an international work environment and where I could contribute to the decarbonization of large industrial players. Within Vopak I found not only that, but also an informal constructive workplace with amazing people. I joined Vopak during my graduation internship, and felt like I could truly make a difference with my background in Sustainable Energy Technologies. Nowadays, I work on new energy related projects all over the world!
