Magnus Stahl, Intern at Clipper

“Working at Clipper is a fantastic experience. The atmosphere is open and relaxed, with teams collaborating across global offices to achieve the best results. The focused work ethic is balanced with an open-minded approach, making each day engaging and supportive. My mentor offers regular feedback sessions, encouraging growth while allowing me to tackle challenging tasks independently, always ready to step in with guidance when needed. I even had the chance to visit a vessel during operations, seeing firsthand the work we support every day. Clipper truly makes you feel like a trusted team member from day one.”
