Graduation Internship | Soil Modeling & Energy Transition

• You are pursuing a Master's degree in Geophysics, Physics, or similar;

• You have experience with Python or a similar programming language;

• You work analytically and translate complex information into clear insights.

• An attractive allowance of €550 based on full-time employment;

• Room to find your ideal work-life balance;

• Great colleagues and a graduation placement in the heart of Utrecht.

Develop a soil model that contributes to a safe and future-proof electricity grid.

• Research how the soil influences electrical currents.

• Develop a multi-layer soil model for the Dutch subsurface.

• Compare different soil models and analyze the results.

• Translate your insights into more accurate calculations for safe infrastructure.

During this graduation assignment, you will research how the properties of the Dutch soil influence the distribution of electrical currents. You will combine literature research with available measurement data and develop a multi-layer soil model. After that, you will test the results and research how this model improves the accuracy of calculations. In this way, you contribute directly to a safe and reliable energy supply in the Netherlands.

An internship at Movares is a kickstart to your career, and there are several reasons for that. For instance, you can count on top-notch support from your internship supervisor, your team, and campus recruiter Noortje. Additionally, you will join a group full of like-minded people. Every year, we welcome between 30 and 40 interns. You will meet them during the monthly Movares Backstage meetings, where connecting with others is the priority.

And as a member of Young Movares, our youth association, fun activities are regularly in your calendar. Additionally, every second Tuesday of the month, you can join the Café van de Toekomst: an inspiration session where you and your colleagues are updated on topics and projects taking place within our organization. And that is not all: you can make use of our own Academy with over 3,000 different learning paths, training courses, and e-learning modules.

At Movares, you will work on a challenging assignment with plenty of opportunities to develop yourself. There is a fun and sociable atmosphere. Additionally, you will get a look behind the scenes of a leading consultancy and engineering firm, with plenty of room for your own initiative and good guidance. The duration and start date are to be determined in consultation. Furthermore, you will receive:

And there is more. Because graduating at Movares also means:

• Contributions to a clean world, because you are interning at the first company in the Netherlands with a Zero Waste certificate;

• Membership in Young Movares, the youth association where you learn from and with other young colleagues.
