Engineering graduate trainee programme at a Port Harcourt EPCM firm serving oil, gas, power and renewables. 2:1 minimum, under 30. Deadline October 5.
Global Traineeship — Commerce 2026
FrieslandCampina WAMCO is the Nigerian arm of the Dutch dairy cooperative FrieslandCampina, producer of Peak Milk — one of Nigeria's most recognisable consumer brands. The Global Traineeship in Commerce gives exposure across Shopper Marketing, Brand Management, Business Development, Category Management, and B2B Sales, working with colleagues across functions and international markets. This is a genuinely global programme rather than a local trainee scheme, so openness to relocation matters. Note the listing does not state formal entry requirements for the Commerce track — the parallel Supply Chain track asks for a 2:1, NYSC discharge, 0-2 years experience, and five O'level credits, so expect a similar bar and check the official FrieslandCampina careers page before applying. Applications through FrieslandCampina's own careers portal. No stated deadline.
