Nils Olofsson Portrait

Each year, Stegra welcomes numerous interns and master’s thesis students to join an ambitious scale-up environment. Contributing to projects and research across a wide range of business areas, interns and master’s students deliver genuine business value while also furthering their education.

For Nils Olofsson, who in 2022 was still a student at Lund University in southern Sweden, a master’s thesis at Stegra (then known as H2 Green Steel) would be an opportunity to get his foot in the door at an exciting industrial startup. “I was studying renewable energy engineering and knew about Northvolt, of course,” he says. “When I heard about H2 Green Steel through a Swedish podcast, I was instantly curious.”

Writing his thesis about carbon emissions from Stegra’s construction site in Boden, Nils’ was impressed by the level of responsibility he was given. “It was great to be able to do something that matters and adds real value to the company,” he says.

Now a sustainability analyst in the company’s Sustainability & Corporate Affairs team, Nils mentors interns and master’s thesis students himself: “We put a lot of time into it, and we get a much better result.”

We give interns and master’s students a unique opportunity to come into a scale-up environment, where they can work closely with senior team members and management. They create real business value. And it’s not just that it’s real work, it’s also paid.
