Internship in Procurement Technology, Sustainability & Operations
In our team, we provide the foundation for an efficient and effective execution of strategic and operational procurement processes – and an internship with us offers exposure to three exciting, interconnected areas:
Procurement Technology
We ensure the right tools and processes are in place to drive value from our supply chains - through spend and contract management, e-sourcing, and other novel platforms that explore new opportunities. In parallel, we focus on efficiency by applying agentic workflows in both strategic and operational procurement.
Sustainable Procurement
We evaluate our supplier base from an ESG perspective and ensure sustainability is embedded in strategic decision-making. This includes Scope 3 emissions reporting, where we turn procurement spend into emissions: mapping invoice categories to emission factors, checking data quality, and helping prepare the Scope 3 reporting for our annual report
Procurement Operations
We support our fleet of RoRo and RoPax vessels with purchasing goods and services like engine spare parts, maintenance services, provisions and consumables, ensuring the usage of existing contracts, making the best deals in the most efficient way.
As we believe in giving our interns meaningful opportunities, you’ll work on exciting, challenging projects matching business needs and your interests - giving you hands-on experience in procurement technology, sustainability, and operations, enabling you to make a real impact for procurement and our stakeholders.
Examples of responsibilities:
Investigate new procurement technologies and platforms
Initiate dialogue with suppliers regarding ESG initiatives
Work on automating business processes and establishing supplier integrations
Change management activities, and business improvement projects
Supplier engagement, dialogue, sourcing and negotiation
Support to Category Manager and Sourcing Manager in e-sourcing and e-auction strategy
