Supply Chain & Engineering Internship

Internship details   Period :   ~6 months (minimum of 4 months)    Hours   per   week :   40   Location :   Accenture   main office   in Amsterdam   Start date :   the   first   day   of each month   The work   Are you looking for a n   internship   where you can:   Combine consulting, engineering, and IT   Work in a fast-moving environment   Support leading industrial companies on real transformation projects   Work on a research assignment that covers   strategy, process improvement, and technology implementation   Then a role within   Supply Chain & Engineering (SC&E)   could be a great fit for you!   If you are interested, p lease apply with your   CV and cover letter ,   including your motivation for   either   PES or M&O .   Team s     In general,   SC&E   is a diverse and dynamic team of innovators, visionaries, and problem solvers in the fields of Engineering and Manufacturing.    You will either join   PES - Product Engineering and Servicing   which focuses on the next-generation R&D and imagining and reinventing the future of Products and the end-to-end Product journey from the initial design, to managing Product Lifecycle Systems, their Sustainable Footprint and the ultimate retiring and replacement.    Or you will join   M&O - Manufacturing and Operations   which focuses on digital Manufacturing, Intelligent Asset Management , and Capital Projects in Utilities. The topic of your graduation internship could be around grid   infrastructure,   challenges of the energy transition   (in the utilities industry)   and any other innovations you can find on the factory floor to provide a digital transformation at the core of Manufacturing.   Daily tasks     As an intern at   SC&E , you will work in collaboration with   our   colleagues   to conduct your thesis   research and assignment in one of the relevant research areas listed below. Key is that your thesis will research challenges or opportunities we see at our clients and that new business solutions or opportunities can be defined based on the input of   our   experts. During your internship   you’ll   connect with many   SC&E   colleagues from Accenture and gain valuable insight into the world of strategy & consulting. Your work location   is at the   main office   in Amsterdam, where you will   be required   to be present at least 3 days a week.   Research     Product   Engineering and Servicing (PES)   Within PES   we specialize in companies that focus on product development , so we are   mainly active   in   Research   & Development departments.   Here we enable industry leading clients to   optimize   their business processes and efficiency.    Research groups:   Defining R&D strategie s:   Helping clients shape their long-term vision and roadmap for R&D and digital transformation.   Improving engineering and business processes :   Analyzing current ways of working and redesigning product development processes through workshops, interviews, and practical improvements.   Implementing digital solutions :   Supporting the rollout of technologies such as Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) platforms and AI-enabled solutions.   Driving sustainability initiatives :   Setting up frameworks, processes, and insights that help companies reach their sustainability goals.   Each year we have multiple business relevant thesis topics prepared around these topics.   If instead   you are looking for a role that focusses more on product design itself, we also have internships available within Accenture ’s   Industrial Design   team   via a separate vacancy.   Manufacturing and Operations   (M&O)   Within   M&O we are currently looking for research focused on   Intelligent Asset Management , Capital Projects in Utilities, and Digital Manufacturing.   We transform production plants, assets, and work processes to deliver operational excellence. By prioritizing,   optimizing , digitizing, connecting, and automating our clients’ operations through integrated solutions, AI, IoT, mobility, and platforms that will unlock   additional   value and productivity within and across production sites.   It’s   a chance to apply your engineering skills to deliver meaningful, high-impact solutions.    Research groups :   Intelligent   A sset   M anagemen t:   You will support transforming the way our clients take care of their physical assets such as machines,   buildings   and equipment. You will collaborate with us to create data-driven and intelligent solutions such as Predictive Maintenance and Asset Performance Management to improve efficiency, reduce   downtime   and increase sustainability while reducing maintenance costs.   Capital   P rojects in   U tilities :   Y ou   will   support utilit y companies   in driving the energy transition by developing   new solutions   and strategies to build new infrastructure, manage grid congestion, and   optimize   asset performance.   Digital   M anufacturing :   You will focu s   on where clients can digitize,   optimize   and bring digital transformation to the core of their manufacturing processes. Think about developing fully autonomous factories (dark factories).   If you're interested in writing a thesis, possible topics range from AI applications in the utility sector , data driven predictive maintenance,   rethinking the construction process   (and standardization)   for large-scale infrastructure projects, topics related to   the   operation   and efficiency   of the grid , creating new propositions for dark factories, and digital transformation of manufacturing processes. These are just some ideas. Do not feel limited by this list and share any ideas you may have!      If you have a groundbreaking idea related to the abovementioned topics, whether it addresses challenges in engineering, manufacturing, or beyond,   we’d   love to hear about it in your motivational letter. While our primary focus is on the abovemen
