Internship - Global Maintenance and Packaging

Internship – Global Maintenance and Packaging

"Generating creative ideas engaged to using the newest technologies, the global Maintenance and Packaging team allowed me to find my role in guaranteeing safe and reliable assets during my internship!"

The internship

The Global Maintenance, Asset Care and Packaging team steers the Maintenance and Packaging agenda of all Breweries in the four global regions Heineken has. The intern, although focusing on building capability materials like Good Practices and working on models, will be involved in nearly all global programs which are:

• People and networking, connecting and collaborating
• Packaging, Repair & Maintenance cost control and supplier management
• Developing training materials for our TPM program focusing on the AM and PM pillar needs.

• This is the intern’s key area where he/she will be working on collaborating with global and local specialists.

• Digital Asset Care and Packaging as our contribution to digital backbone

Your new team and workplace

During your internship, you’ll have every opportunity to get to know HEINEKEN as an organization, not just within your own team, but across departments. We trust and empower you to work with an entrepreneurial mindset. At HEINEKEN, we love bringing the outside world in and welcome fresh, new ideas with open arms. Of course, we’ll make sure you get the guidance that suits you.

What a day in the internship could look like

Through connecting and engaging Maintenance and Packaging specialists within our inclusive network organisation, we drive the strategic Maintenance & Packaging contribution to the Heineken NV strategy. See the previous Alinea through which global programs we do that.

As we are acting on both strategic level and always having a pragmatic view to ensure application of our tools up to the functional good practices, the role we’re allowed to play is a fascinating and inspiring one!
