About the job

Are you passionate about people development and curious to see how HR shapes a global organization? Join Alfa Laval Kolding as a Student Assistant, working directly with our HR Business Partners, Ewa Poulsen and Anne Juel Bruun.

You’ll support projects that make a real difference; from organizing leadership forums and development events to preparing materials for high-performance team programs. You’ll also assist with daily HR operations and administrative tasks that keep our people strategy running smoothly. Administrative tasks will be a key part of your responsibilities, giving you valuable insight into how HR operations run behind the scenes. Depending on the week, this may take up more than 50% of your time.

This is your opportunity to get hands-on experience in what HR Business Partners do every day: people development, succession planning, employee relations, and organizational growth. No two days are the same, and every day is a chance to learn something new.

Who are you

We’re looking for someone who’s as enthusiastic about people as they are about learning. You might describe yourself as:

• Social & proactive: You enjoy connecting with people and take initiative to make things happen.

• Curious & creative: You love exploring new ideas and finding better ways to do things.

• Growth-minded: You see every challenge as an opportunity to learn and develop.

• Collaborative: You thrive in a team environment and enjoy helping others succeed.

What you know

• You’re currently studying Human Resources, Psychology, Sociology, Business Administration, or a related field, with at least 2–3 years left in your studies.

• You speak and write fluent English.

• You don’t need previous HR experience. Just curiosity, drive, and a willingness to learn.

What’s in it for you?

• Real HR experience: Work closely with HRBPs and senior leaders on projects that shape the organization.

• Learning & growth: Gain insight into HR processes, employee development, and union relations.

• Global exposure: Join a diverse, international workplace where collaboration and innovation are valued.

• Flexibility: Schedule that fits your studies and supports your academic growth.
