Qualifications
- We imagine that while you are with us, you are in your 3rd semester of your master’s education in sustainability, design, or other engineering-related education.
- You need access to SimaPro from your university to perform the internship tasks.
- Good to have: Experience in human physiology and Carbon footprint calculations for IT-related products.
What’s in it for you
You will work in a modern office environment in the city center with a positive social atmosphere and ‘winning together’ aspirations. We aren’t afraid to grab a beer together Friday afternoon after work, or go for a run around the lakes, either before or after work. The Intern will be provided free lunch during the project period and will otherwise follow the University standards for internships.
*Before the internship, mutual NDAs must be signed as the project results might be confidential.
