Internship opportunity in Data Science (Transportation)

We are looking for a motivated HBO or Master student who is interested in Data Science. We offer an internship opportunity within the field of Data Science for the Transportation department, where you will have the freedom and space for your own initiative.

Welcome to our team

The Transportation department is an essential hub in our organization. This department is focused on ensuring that our products are moved efficiently, safely, and reliably from our suppliers to their destinations across several regions, aligned with our service, quality, and cost expectations. Strategically, the department aims to build a resilient, high-performing distribution network that supports business growth, strengthens supply continuity, and drives continuous improvement across our end-to-end logistics processes.

The team consists of four employees, bringing together diverse nationalities, backgrounds, and professional experiences.

The team works closely with other departments within the company — as well as with suppliers — to achieve these critical goals.
