Introduction

Are you an enthusiastic and proactive Bachelor’s or Master’s student with a passion for communication and organizing? Would you love to gain experience in an international environment where you connect daily with colleagues from Air France and suppliers across the globe? Are you ready to take initiative and get hands-on experience in the world of aircraft maintenance? Then you might be the intern we are looking for at KLM Engineering & Maintenance Procurement!

What are you going to do?

During this internship, you will be a full member of the Procurement team at KLM Engineering & Maintenance (E&M). You will support the department in internal communications, organizing meetings and events, and stakeholder management.
