Supply Chain Internship

Rotterdam
Full-time
Intern / Student

This is what you like to do

Bring your organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills to our procurement, logistics, and supply chain operations and contribute from your position to the future of maritime training.

VSTEP is a growing maritime simulation company based in Rotterdam. We build simulators that prepare the people who keep ships and crews safe at sea.
The company consists of around 70 people with diverse backgrounds from all over the world. We believe this diversity makes the company a great place to work where there is room for growth and learning.

You'll work side by side with our Supply Chain Specialist, who will be your mentor. Together you'll handle procurement and supply chain processes, work with suppliers and different teams, and learn how purchasing contributes to real-world projects in an international company.

We hope your internship can be the start of a longer journey with VSTEP, with the possibility to continue working with us after your internship.

Your daily activities will include:
  • Helping with procurement and purchasing activities.
  • Communicating with suppliers and following up on orders.
  • Helping to find and contact new suppliers.
  • Supporting colleagues with their purchasing needs.
