Communicating detailed ideas in comprehensible ways, utilizing digital tools;
Gather information internally and externally, by performing interviews or requesting information;
Be aware of deadlines, and work towards them in a structured manner;
Read and interpret funding program or legal regulations

Why Join Us?
Supported by our young and talented funding team, you’ll grow in an international company & develop a large spectrum of skills such as teamwork in an international environment, process improvement, project development, public funding, business control, etc. You will do all this while simultaneously developing a good understanding of the workings inside an industrial gas company.
