Internship Communication & Organization - E&M Procurement

Vacancy type: Internship
Location: Schiphol Oost
Hours per week: 40
Education level: HBO (Higher Professional Education)
Apply by: 26-11-2026

During this working internship, you will fully participate within the Procurement team of KLM Engineering & Maintenance (E&M). You will support the department at the intersection of internal communication, event and meeting organization, and stakeholder management. As an intern, you will help ensure that collaboration within our international and joint Air France-KLM teams runs as smoothly and effectively as possible. You are the linchpin: you organize and coordinate international meetings, workshops, and team events, draft internal communications, and help design processes to be smarter and more enjoyable.

Additionally, you will regularly liaise with colleagues in France and with external suppliers worldwide. This will give you a unique behind-the-scenes look at global supply chains within aviation technology. You don't just wait around, but actively think along about improvement possibilities and know how to independently translate ideas into concrete actions. In short: are you looking for a dynamic, international internship in which you receive plenty of responsibility and can develop yourself professionally? Then you have come to the right place at E&M Procurement!

Are you an enthusiastic and organizationally strong HBO or WO student with a passion for communication and international collaboration? Do you want to experience what it is like to switch between Schiphol and Paris and work daily with suppliers from all over the world? Do you have a proactive attitude and want to play a part in the heart of aviation technology? Then you might just be our new intern at KLM Engineering & Maintenance Procurement!

You will land within the Procurement team of KLM Engineering & Maintenance at Schiphol-Oost, close to the hangars and the fleet. Our team works very closely with the procurement colleagues at Air France. We operate in an international, professional but informal atmosphere where collegiality comes first. Currently, we work in a flexible hybrid environment: you have the possibility to work partly from home, but can also be found regularly at our location at Schiphol-Oost for meetings, events, and the social atmosphere of the workplace.

You are an enthusiastic, communicative, and eager-to-learn student who gets energy from organizing and connecting. You are following a relevant HBO or WO degree, such as:

• Communication
• Business Administration
• International Business
• Event Management / Facility Management
• Or a similar commercial/organizational study

Please note: You are available from mid-January/early February for a period of at least 5 months, for 4 to 5 days per week. This concerns a working internship; there is room to perform school assignments, but not for a full-time graduation thesis.

• Very strong communicator (both oral and written)
• An organizational talent who works in a structured and proactive manner
• Independent, resourceful, and a true team player
• Interculturally sensitive and curious about international supply chains
• Fluent in Dutch and English (French is a plus, but certainly not a requirement)

• Planning and organizing
• Communicating orally and in writing
• Initiative
• Collaboration
• Attention to quality
• Adaptability

KLM offers you a very educational experience in a dynamic organization in which you will play an important role. 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' by 26-11-2026! 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 certain aspects of this role? We look forward to your application.
