Gard’s Trainee Program is a unique opportunity for graduates to launch their careers in the maritime insurance industry. Over 9 months, trainees rotate through key business areas gaining hands-on experience and insight into how the world’s largest marine insurer operates.

The program combines structured learning, mentoring, and real-world projects, offering exposure to Gard’s global network and a chance to build lasting professional relationships. Whether you have a background in law, economics, analytics, or compliance, the program is designed to help you grow into a future role at Gard.

Trainees are based in Arendal, with opportunities to visit other offices and participate in cross-functional initiatives. We’re looking for curious, committed, and collaborative candidates who want to make a meaningful impact.

The next opportunity to apply for a trainee role in Arendal starting in autumn 2026 will be in early 2026.

We also run a trainee program in Asia focusing on underwriting and claims. Information on the next Trainee Program in Asia will be available at a later date.
