Are you looking for a meaningful career opportunity that adds value to people’s everyday lives? Be a part of our Vopak NextGen Leaders Program to build a career with purpose: contribute to society by storing products that are vital for our daily lives and join us in our journey in shaping a sustainable future.
Program overview:
Vopak NextGen Leaders Program is on average a two-year program in which you work on a minimum of two assignments and have a number of placements at different locations, within different disciplines. As an example, you can get acquainted with the operational organization as well as the technical and commercial disciplines of Vopak. You will not only get the opportunity to gain a lot of knowledge about our core business by completing at least one-year assignment on one of our terminals but also on our sustainability and innovation efforts.
Along with the learn-by-doing approach, you will be offered various training courses which will also challenge you to think about yourself and your own abilities. You will have a mentor, a senior leader, that supports you for the ultimate success along the path in developing your career.
You will start the program in April 2023 together with other trainees. Once you complete the program (on average, after 2 years), you can find your long-term place at Vopak based on your interests - there are always numerous opportunities available globally
Through the Vopak NextGen Leaders Program you will:
Drive the change, make a real impact from the start
We will work together to contribute to accelerating the energy transition, and digital innovation whilst committing to continuous improvements at existing facilities and projects under development. You will experience a high sense of autonomy and have the opportunity to translate your ideas into action.
Be your authentic self, work in an international, inclusive and diverse environment
We value and respect everyone’s uniqueness - we nurture the many different approaches and perspectives each culture and individual brings to our business. We’re committed to an open and inclusive culture where our people can work safely and develop their full potential.
Bring out the leader in you, grow into the best version of yourself
We want to invest in you to become one of our leaders of the future. Leading yourself, other people, leading change, leading in our way of thinking. Through the NextGen Leaders program, we will support your development journey to prepare and challenge you for this!
Build meaningful connections
We believe there is more life than your work at Vopak. Along with our emphasis on work-life balance, we want your work experience to be delightful. We have certain communities that allow you to connect with others to enjoy the social aspect of working at Vopak.

Working at Vopak
At Vopak, we store vital products with care. Products for everyday life. The energy that allows people to cook, heat or cool their homes and for transportation. The chemicals that enable companies to manufacture millions of useful products. The edible oils to prepare food. We take pride in improving access to cleaner energy and feedstocks for a growing world population, ensuring safe, clean and efficient storage and handling of bulk liquid products and gases at strategic locations around the world. We are excited to help shape a sustainable future by developing infrastructure solutions for new vital products, focusing on zero- and low-carbon hydrogen, ammonia, CO2, long-duration energy storage and sustainable feedstocks. Although the demand for storage and logistics of sustainable energy products is changing, today we also meet the needs of today's society. At our terminals, where everything goes on 24/7, we store the vital products on which today's society is built.
We have a track record of over 400 years in navigating change and are continuously investing in innovation. On sustainability, we are ambitious and performance-driven. Our balanced sustainability roadmap reflects key topics that matter most to our stakeholders and where we can have a positive impact for people, planet and profit and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
