Logistics Intern

We are Skytree

Skytree enables a transition to a world with cleaner Air for everyone. We do this by developing and deploying smart technology that captures atmospheric carbon dioxide, enabling its use or storage to combat climate change and aid society and businesses around the world.

Born out of the European Space Agency (ESA), we are a global team of highly talented scientists, engineers and business professionals, supported by an experienced management team. Our working culture is based on a dynamic and smart approach to business with an open and understanding attitude to others and a desire to expand the boundaries of what is possible.

As we enter a new phase of growth, we are looking for a Logistics Intern to learn, develop and grow with us.

Your role

You will join the Manufacturing team and work alongside our Production and Supply Chain Coordinator to keep the physical and informational flow between our Contract Manufacturers, our warehouses and our deployment sites running smoothly. This is the role that makes sure incoming goods are inspected and logged, that nothing gets lost between a shipment leaving a CMO and arriving on site, and that the paperwork keeps pace with the hardware.

This internship is ideal for someone who likes making things run on time, enjoys working with suppliers and warehouses, and wants to see how a complex hardware deployment is coordinated end-to-end. No two weeks look the same: one week you may be visiting WIDO in Nijmegen to receive a Streicher shipment, the next helping maintain a surplus-items register, or preparing dangerous-goods documentation for a cross-border move.

Please note:

• Internship duration: 5 to 6 months, 32-40 hours per week.

• Start date: As soon as possible.

• This position does not meet the criteria for employer sponsorship. Therefore, we are unable to support work permit or residency applications.

• You must be based in the Netherlands, ideally near Amsterdam.

• A monthly internship allowance of 550 EUR, lunch allowance and transportation allowance are provided. Accommodation is not provided.

Here is a glimpse of what you will be learning and supporting:

• Learning how incoming goods are received and controlled across multiple sites: getting hands-on exposure to the Skytree receiving procedure through coordination work.

• Learning how shipping and transport documentation works for industrial hardware across borders including incoterms and cross-border paperwork, by supporting the preparation of these documents.

• Learning how to maintain a live logistics data view: understanding how source-of-truth data flows between systems.

• Learning how Supply Chain and Procurement interact in a scale-up environment, by supporting the exchange of open-PO status between the Procurement team and the Manufacturing logistics view and seeing how the two functions depend on each other

• Learning how a cross-functional supply chain is coordinated end-to-end by participating in the weekly supply-chain review and gradually taking ownership of a defined piece of the logistics landscape under your mentor’s guidance.

Requirements

What we’re looking for

• Currently enrolled in, or recently graduated from, a university program in Logistics, Supply Chain Management, Business Administration, or a related field.

• Organized, detail-oriented, comfortable juggling multiple deadlines.

• A self-starter: proactive, curious and eager to pick up the phone when something is slipping.

• Comfortable working both autonomously and collaborating in a team.

• Professional working proficiency in English, written and spoken.

  • Dutch is a strong plus!

• Proficiency in the Microsoft Office suite, especially Excel. Familiarity with an ERP such as Dynamics, SAP or Odoo, or with purchasing or warehousing tools, is a plus.

• Comfortable with occasional site visits to our external warehouse locations.

• A passion for climate technology and sustainability.

• You are already based in the Netherlands, within commuting distance to Amsterdam.

• You are allowed to work in The Netherlands without any restrictions.

What you can expect

• Apart from working with great colleagues, you can also expect:

• A unique start-up environment offering organic professional and personal growth at one of the most innovative cleantech companies in Amsterdam!

• A diverse (30+ nationalities) and fun team to work with.

• A passionate and highly knowledgeable People & Places team supporting you in your professional and personal growth

• A monthly allowance of EUR 550 + lunch allowance and travel cost reimbursement.

• A vibrant office close to the Science Park train station (5 minute walk!), as well as close to the highway.

• Access to the Science Park and Amsterdam University cafeterias (and all the great and healthy meal options).

• Fun activities, organized by our very own Champagne Committee (e.g. a cooking class or Canal Adventures at the heart of the city center).

• Healthy snacks and drinks provided in-office.

Note: for this position we cannot offer work permit / visa sponsorship. We can consider applicants relocating from within Europe, however we do not offer a relocation package / remuneration in case you would need to move to The Netherlands for this position. Thanks for your understanding.
