Siemens Graduate Program Spain: Two-Year International Sales Track With Permanent Contract

Siemens Mobility in Spain is looking for recent engineering master’s graduates to join its two-year Graduate Program on the international sales track. You get a permanent employment contract from your very first day.

That last part matters. Most graduate schemes hire you on a training contract and hope for a real offer later. Here, you are a permanent employee from day one and train through three different assignments.

The essentials in one table

A permanent job, not a trainee contract

Most graduate schemes start you on a temporary training agreement. Siemens skips that step entirely — the posting promises a permanent contract from your very first day.

The program also gives two days of mobile working per week as a global standard. In plain words: you can work from home two days a week.

What your two years actually look like

You complete three assignments over two years, each tailored to you — not a fixed rotation everyone follows. One of the three assignments lasts eight months and takes place abroad, at one of Siemens’ locations around the world. The posting says this is where you build intercultural skills and learn to communicate across cultures.

You also get dedicated mentoring to support your career goals. The program page adds a personal mentor from the start, plus a development manager who helps design your path.

Training covers commercial skills, negotiation, and personal development. You also join an international community of 100 participants from 20 nationalities.

The sales track: what you would actually do

This posting is for the International Sales team, with a path toward becoming a sales and business development leader in the signalling sector — the systems that control train movements. In short, you learn how a global company wins and delivers huge infrastructure deals.

Your work would include:

• Being the link between customers — public administrations, railway operators, and EPC contractors — and Siemens.
• Helping develop new business: analyzing market potential and planning market entry for new systems and tenders.
• Supporting the bid process — the contest to win large railway contracts — by helping define winning strategies with engineering, legal, and finance teams.
• Giving management feedback on customer trends, competitor moves, and upcoming international railway projects.

Check yourself: the five gates

This posting has hard requirements. Check each one honestly before you apply.

1. Your degree. You need an excellent master’s degree in engineering — industrial, telecommunications, civil, or a similar technical field. Knowledge of signalling or railways is a strong plus, but not required.

2. Your experience clock. You may have at most three years between your bachelor’s and master’s degrees, and at most one year of experience after graduation — this is aimed at fresh graduates.

3. International experience. You need at least four months of study or work abroad. This one is non-negotiable — the program page calls it a requirement.

4. Your languages. You must be fluent in English and Spanish at C1–C2 level. Any other language is a major plus.

5. Your mobility. You must be flexible and willing to travel worldwide during the program.

You should probably not apply if:

• You are not fluent in Spanish — this is a Spain-based role and the requirement is explicit.
• You have never studied or worked abroad.
• You graduated more than a year ago.
• You cannot travel or relocate for months at a time.

One honest note: the posting does not mention visa sponsorship or relocation support. If you would need a Spanish work visa, ask about it during the process.

How to apply and what happens next

There is no fixed closing date — the posting asks you to apply as soon as possible. Your application must include:

• A motivation letter
• Your CV in English
• All relevant certificates and documents — transcripts and reference letters from internships or international experience

Selection has three steps: a CV screening, an initial interview (in person, by phone, or video — sometimes with a psychometric test), and a final assessment center. Tip: your motivation letter should show real passion for business development and sales, not just engineering. This track is choosing future commercial leaders, so write like one.
