The internship
Imagine being part of the world’s most international brewer—where iconic brands flow across borders and continents, and where every bottle tells a story of precision, scale, and innovation. Behind the scenes of this global operation lies a complex and dynamic supply chain, and at its heart: warehousing and material handling equipment (MHE).
But here’s the twist—because we operate in so many different markets, our warehousing needs aren’t one-size-fits-all. They’re as diverse as the regions we serve. That’s where you come in.
As an intern in our HGP Logistics Procurement team, based at our Schiphol office, you’ll take on a mission: to bring clarity, consistency, and efficiency to how we source our warehouse equipment. You won’t just observe—you’ll lead a real project with real impact.
Key Responsibilities:
- Dive into our data landscape. What do we already know? What’s missing? You’ll consult with internal stakeholders to map out the variables that matter.
- Trace the paths of our current processes. Where is data captured? Where does it fall through the cracks? You’ll define a smart, scalable way to fill those gaps.
- Design and deploy a solution that balances quality with practicality—something that works not just in theory, but in the real world of global logistics.
During your internship, you will get the opportunity to get to know HEINEKEN as a company, also outside your department. We give you trust and freedom, so you can work like a real entrepreneur. We like to bring the outside world inside and therefore we embrace new, fresh ideas with enthusiasm.
Of course, always with the guidance that is right for you.
The terms of employment- Preferred starting date is 1st September
- The internship is fulltime (in consultation also 4 days a week possible)
- The duration of the internship is 5/6 months (in consultation with your internship supervisor)
- It is a practice-oriented internship

- You will receive an internship fee of €650 gross pm based on 40 hours per week
- You will enjoy 2 vacation days per month (based on fulltime)
- If you do not have a student OV product, your commuting expenses will be fully reimbursed
The start of your internship
Together with a diverse group of interns from different departments, you will start your internship at HEINEKEN. Together you will be introduced to the organization. Don’t miss the drinks on Thursday to relax with your colleagues over a beer and some snacks.
The unique you!- University Bachelor/Master students available min. 4 days a week.
- Strong communication skills and ability to work with people from different backgrounds and cultures.
