Hours per week: 40
Education level: Mbo; Hbo
Apply until: 04-12-2026

Are you our new driving force behind the deployment of 3D printing within the hangars? Are you a 3D printing expert and can you design the most beautiful designs in CAD software within a short time? Then we are looking for you!

You will help the mechanics in our KLM Engineering & Maintenance hangars with 3D-printed tooling, so that they can perform their work more safely, easily, and quickly. Together with the staff, you will look for the best challenges in which you will play a key role in developing solutions. You will be a promoter of 3D printing within KLM Engineering & Maintenance. Additionally, you will share built-up knowledge and experience with other units within KLM Engineering & Maintenance.

• Thinking of, developing, and creating 3D printed tooling for the maintenance of aircraft components;
• Looking at the best solutions together with other 3D printing departments and sharing these with those departments;
• Supporting less and more experienced staff in the process from design to product.

From the Repair Lab, you will be stationed in an Airframe hangar at KLM Engineering & Maintenance at Schiphol-Oost. Together with experienced mechanics and engineers, you will develop innovative solutions that can contribute to maintenance. By consulting with interns from other departments working on different assignments, you will have the opportunity to share knowledge and solve problems together.

3D printing is a hobby for you, or you are already busy with 3D printers on a daily basis. You are a CAD expert and effortlessly design your own innovative and creative solutions in Inventor or Fusion 360. Additionally, you do not shy away from going onto the floor and actively searching for new solutions together with colleagues. You will do this for a period of five months and, during that period, take 3D printing within KLM Engineering & Maintenance to a higher level.

You can develop yourself strongly in this internship, both personally and professionally. Additionally, this internship offers you the opportunity to build your network, as you will be sitting at the table with many different KLM employees!

Another advantage of an internship within KLM is the association by and for interns; KLM Taxibaan. This association expands your network and provides pleasant events and interesting excursions within the KLM organization. There is also an internship allowance.

Then don't wait any longer, and apply for the 'final boarding call' on 04-12-2026! You do not need to write a motivation letter; during your application, we will ask you several targeted questions. You will receive a message from us within two weeks after the closing date of the vacancy.

Did you know that according to research, women are less likely to apply than men if they do not meet all the job requirements? A shame. Because as far as we are concerned, 'the perfect candidate' is a myth. So, do you have the drive to still grow in some aspects of this role? We look forward to your application.
