By nurturing diverse talent and fostering a culture of inclusion, we build a stronger, more vibrant work environment, ready to tackle the challenges and opportunities of the future.
Interns & graduate programs
Mercuria is passionate about nurturing future talent. Our expanding internship program offers students across various disciplines the opportunity to learn from industry experts and gain valuable real-world experience. Many of our interns have transitioned into successful full-time roles within our organization, a testament to the program’s effectiveness.
EPFL Masters Program
We offer Master students at EPFL, a leading research institute in Switzerland specializing in science and engineering, the chance to work on projects that become their master’s thesis through a six-month internship. Interns gain exposure to innovative environments and improve their skills in independent research. Furthermore, they acquire practical experience, build their professional network, and gain insights into Mercuria’s operations and core processes.
Through our internship and graduate programs, we empower future generations to shape the commodities industry. We provide aspiring professionals with the tools, knowledge, and experience they need to launch successful careers and contribute meaningfully to Mercuria’s ongoing success.
Veterans & apprenticeships
Mercuria is proud to be hiring US military veterans and has been doing so since 2016. We recognize the intrinsic skills, a strong work ethic, as well as leadership and teamwork qualities that veterans possess, and therefore sees them as valuable assets to the company.
Thus far, Mercuria has hired over five US military veterans, and it continues to seek opportunities to hire more. These veterans have been placed in various roles across the company, such as in trading, risk management, and operations. They have brought with them a wealth of experience and leadership qualities, which have greatly benefited the company.
In addition to the recruitment of veterans, we have also hired more than a dozen apprentices across functional departments through our apprenticeship program. Many of these have successfully converted into full-time employees and have subsequently been promoted within Mercuria. Our commitment to the success of both of our veterans and apprenticeships programs starts with our attendance at as many in-person and virtual recruitment events as possible to ensure potential candidates are made aware of Mercuria’s programs.
Once candidates are enrolled into the programs they can be ensured of:
- Hands-on training and development
- Quarterly reviews and salary progression
- Inclusion in our benefits program
- An on-going commitment to their success from line management and HR
