About Veja Mate and the HR & Administration Team

Veja Mate is a leading offshore wind farm located in the German North Sea, approximately 95 kilometers northwest of the island of Borkum. With an installed capacity of 402 megawatts, the wind farm generates clean electricity for around 400,000 households annually. The project was developed, constructed, and is now operated by a dedicated team of professionals who are passionate about renewable energy and sustainability. As a company, Veja Mate is committed to fostering a collaborative and innovative work environment where every team member can contribute to the energy transition.

The Human Resource & Administration department plays a central role in supporting the entire organization. From talent acquisition and employee development to administrative excellence and process optimization, the team ensures that Veja Mate remains an employer of choice in the offshore wind industry. As a working student in this area, you will be part of a small, agile team that values initiative, reliability, and a hands-on mentality. You will have the opportunity to learn from experienced HR professionals and gain practical insights into the daily operations of a dynamic company.

Veja Mate's office is located in Hamburg, a vibrant city known for its maritime heritage and growing renewable energy sector. The working language in the office is German, but English is also used regularly due to the international nature of the industry. This provides a unique opportunity for students to improve their language skills and gain exposure to cross-cultural collaboration.

Your Role and Responsibilities in Detail

As a working student in Human Resource & Administration, you will take on a variety of tasks that give you a comprehensive view of HR operations. Your responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

• Supporting the preparation of employment references, certificates, and other HR documents in accordance with German labor law and company standards.
• Maintaining and updating digital and physical personnel files, ensuring data accuracy and confidentiality.
• Assisting with the onboarding and offboarding processes, including preparing welcome packages, coordinating with IT for equipment setup, and scheduling introductory meetings.
• Participating in the continuous improvement of HR processes, such as digitizing workflows, creating templates, and documenting standard operating procedures.
• Contributing to quality management projects by mapping business processes, conducting data analysis, and supporting process workshops with various departments.
• Handling general administrative tasks, such as managing correspondence, organizing meetings, and supporting the team with ad-hoc requests.

You will work closely with colleagues from other departments, including Legal, Quality Management, and Technical Operations. This cross-functional exposure will help you understand how HR decisions impact the broader organization and how different teams collaborate to achieve common goals. You will also have the chance to take ownership of smaller projects, allowing you to develop project management skills and build confidence in a professional setting.

What You Will Learn and How You Will Grow

This position is designed to provide you with a solid foundation in human resource management and business administration. You will learn how to apply theoretical knowledge from your studies to real-world challenges, such as ensuring compliance with labor regulations, improving operational efficiency, and supporting employee engagement initiatives. By the end of your tenure, you will have developed a range of transferable skills, including attention to detail, time management, and effective communication.

Moreover, you will gain insight into the specific HR needs of the renewable energy sector. Offshore wind is a rapidly evolving industry with unique workforce challenges, such as shift planning for offshore technicians, health and safety training requirements, and the integration of digital tools for remote collaboration. Understanding these dynamics will give you a competitive edge if you choose to pursue a career in HR within the energy or engineering sectors.

Veja Mate is committed to supporting your professional development. You will receive regular feedback from your supervisor and have access to internal training resources. Depending on your interests and the team's needs, you may also have the opportunity to attend industry events or workshops.

Veja Mate's office culture is characterized by flat hierarchies and direct access to leadership. You will have the opportunity to interact with managers and executives, which is rare in larger corporations. This exposure can be invaluable for building your professional network and gaining mentorship. Many former working students have gone on to secure full-time positions within the company or have leveraged their experience to advance their careers elsewhere in the industry.
