Are you ready to kick‑start your career in Chartering? Our Advanced Chartering Program offers a fast‑track opportunity to gain hands‑on experience, learn from industry experts, and make an impact from day one.

Job responsibilities

Before the Traineeship officially begins, you’ll kick off your journey with a six‑week paid internship at Oldendorff, starting in September. This internship is a great opportunity to boost your CV while getting an authentic look into the world of Chartering and life at Oldendorff. During this time, we want to get to know you better—and just as importantly, give you the chance to see whether a career in shipping feels like the right fit for you. After the internship, three successful candidates will be offered a spot in our 12‑month Traineeship, which begins in October. From there, you’ll rotate through key departments such as Fleet, the Performance Desk, Port Operations, and our Bunker Team—building a solid foundation before focusing more deeply on Operations and Chartering. By the end of the program, you’ll be well prepared for a dynamic career in Chartering at one of the world’s leading dry bulk shipping companies.
