Supply Chain & Engineering Internship

Job Description

Internship details

• Period: ~6 months (minimum of 4 months)

• Start date: the first day of each month

The work

Are you looking for an internship where you can:

• Combine consulting, engineering, and IT

• Work in a fast-moving environment

• Support leading industrial companies on real transformation projects

• Work on a research assignment that covers strategy, process improvement, and technology implementation

Then a role within Supply Chain & Engineering (SC&E) could be a great fit for you.

Teams

SC&E is a diverse and dynamic team working across Engineering and Manufacturing.

You will either join PES - Product Engineering and Servicing, which focuses on next-generation R&D and the end-to-end product journey, from initial design to Product Lifecycle Systems, sustainable footprint, and retirement and replacement.

Or you will join M&O - Manufacturing and Operations, which focuses on digital Manufacturing, Intelligent Asset Management, and Capital Projects in Utilities. The topic of your graduation internship could be around grid infrastructure, challenges of the energy transition in the utilities industry, and other innovations on the factory floor to provide digital transformation at the core of Manufacturing.

Daily tasks

As an intern at SC&E, you will work with colleagues to conduct your thesis research and assignment in one of the relevant research areas listed below. Your thesis will research challenges or opportunities seen at clients so that new business solutions or opportunities can be defined based on expert input. During your internship, you’ll connect with many SC&E colleagues and gain insight into strategy and consulting.

Research

Product Engineering and Servicing (PES)

Within PES, the focus is on companies active in product development, mainly in Research & Development departments. The team helps industry-leading clients optimize business processes and efficiency.

Research groups:

• Defining R&D strategies: Helping clients shape their long-term vision and roadmap for R&D and digital transformation.

• Improving engineering and business processes: Analyzing current ways of working and redesigning product development processes through workshops, interviews, and practical improvements.

• Implementing digital solutions: Supporting the rollout of technologies such as Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) platforms and AI-enabled solutions.

• Driving sustainability initiatives: Setting up frameworks, processes, and insights that help companies reach their sustainability goals.

Each year there are multiple business-relevant thesis topics prepared around these themes.

Manufacturing and Operations (M&O)

Within M&O, research focuses on Intelligent Asset Management, Capital Projects in Utilities, and Digital Manufacturing. The team transforms production plants, assets, and work processes to deliver operational excellence through integrated solutions, AI, IoT, mobility, and platforms. It’s a chance to apply engineering skills to deliver meaningful, high-impact solutions.

Research groups:

• Intelligent Asset Management: Supporting the transformation of how clients manage physical assets such as machines, buildings, and equipment through data-driven and intelligent solutions such as Predictive Maintenance and Asset Performance Management.

• Capital Projects in Utilities: Supporting utility companies in driving the energy transition by developing new solutions and strategies to build new infrastructure, manage grid congestion, and optimize asset performance.

• Digital Manufacturing: Focusing on where clients can digitize, optimize, and bring digital transformation to the core of their manufacturing processes, including fully autonomous factories.

If you're interested in writing a thesis, possible topics range from AI applications in the utility sector, data-driven predictive maintenance, rethinking the construction process and standardization for large-scale infrastructure projects, topics related to the operation and efficiency of the grid, creating new propositions for dark factories, and digital transformation of manufacturing processes.

If you have a groundbreaking idea related to these topics, whether it addresses challenges in engineering, manufacturing, or beyond, it can also align with the team’s goals.
