    SEVEN GROWTH MARKETS

    Veolia has identified seven key growth markets, representing sectors with significant potential to generate revenue, in which resource strain drives growing demand for narrowly specialized expertise. These sectors are opening up new opportunities for environmental services in which Veolia already provides benchmark solutions:

    • The circular economy, to tackle the problem of dwindling raw materials, water and energy resources
    • Innovative solutions to improve life in cities and related services
    • Treating the most challenging types of pollution, such as toxic waste, treatment sludge and contaminated wastewater
    • Decommissioning services for oil rigs, ships, aircraft and nuclear plants
    • The food & beverage industry, ensuring compliance with stringent standards on health, safety and quality
    • Mining, which requires extensive resources
    • The oil & gas industry, governed by increasingly demanding environmental standards

    Message to students

    Ranging from a few weeks to several months, the missions we offer give talented young people the opportunity to find out more about what we do and absorb our corporate culture. Your initial steps with us are undoubtedly very special opportunities to confirm your professional career plans, involve you closely in your own mission, meet everyone involved and build a powerful professional network.

    How to apply?

    We try to the greatest possible extent to identify candidates very early on, via internships or via our international graduate program (Pangeo), simply because it takes time to acquire a genuine understanding of our businesses. But with this first step over, newcomers can quickly be faced with major challenges, potentially opening up prospects for fast promotion.
