What can you expect from us?

At DHL Supply Chain, you will gain valuable experience through a project-based internship. During this 12-week internship, you will independently work on a concrete and relevant project at one of our logistics sites.

During this project internship, you will not actively participate in the daily operation. The focus will be on researching, analysing and developing your project assignment.

• A concrete project that is directly relevant to our logistics organization
• Personal guidance from a Site Manager or Operations Manager
• The opportunity to apply your knowledge in practice
• An international and innovative working environment
• And of course: great colleagues and access to our facilities

What will you be doing?

As a project intern, you will work for 12 weeks on a concrete supply chain or operations-related challenge at one of our sites. You will become familiar with the organisation and the relevant logistics processes, collect and analyse information, and translate your findings into concrete conclusions and recommendations.

Your responsibilities may include:

• Mapping and analysing logistics processes
• Collecting and analysing operational data
• Identifying bottlenecks and improvement opportunities
• Developing concrete recommendations or improvement proposals

• Presenting your results and final recommendations

Possible project topics may include:

• You have strong analytical skills and are comfortable working with data
