We are Wärtsilä, one global team of purpose-driven experts committed to decarbonizing the marine and energy industries.

 

With us, you will work with the industries holding the roadmap to net zero. The power and heat sector alone represents 35% of global CO₂ emissions. The shipping sector accounts for nearly 3% of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions, equivalent to the emissions of the sixth largest nation. Furthermore, ships transport 90% of global goods.

 

As a global market leader in both industries, we are empowered to create a new wave. There are over 90,000 ships in the seas and nearly every second one has a Wärtsilä install base. In the energy field, our experts have delivered 76 GW of power plant capacity in 180 countries. Imagine the possibilities to be achieved through innovation, digitalization, and an engaged team!

 

 

We’re on a mission to realign our Talent Acquisition organisation to help Wärtsilä accelerate the decarbonisation of the marine and energy industries by recruiting key talent even faster, better and bolder.   As part of this we’re now looking for a Talent Acquisition Partner to enhance our recruitment experience.
