For our Data and Information Management team, we are looking for a third-year intern.

As a Data Quality Intern, you will investigate how the quality of asset data within the Drinking Water Operation (DWO) is generated, measured, and can be structurally improved. You will get the chance to analyze a defined business process, make the causes of data quality problems transparent, and develop improvement recommendations that contribute directly to reliable information provision within Vitens. This internship offers you plenty of room for your own initiative, substantive depth, and collaboration with experienced professionals in the fields of data management, data governance, and asset data. You will work on a socially relevant challenge within an organization that is responsible daily for reliable drinking water.

As an intern, you will investigate within one defined DWO process where data quality problems arise, what underlying causes exist, and how the quality of asset data can be structurally measured and secured. You will translate your findings into practical improvement recommendations that contribute to reliable data-driven working within Vitens.

• Defining and analyzing a business process, including involved employees, roles, and information flows
• Conducting interviews with process owners, specialists, and users of asset data
• Analyzing data and identifying patterns, deviations, and data quality bottlenecks
• Drafting data quality criteria, data quality rules, and measurable indicators
• Developing practical recommendations for monitoring, improving, and securing data quality

You will work closely with colleagues within Data and Information Management and receive guidance from an experienced Data Manager. Additionally, you will present your results to various stakeholders within the Drinking Water Operation.

As a Data Quality Intern, you will strengthen the Data and Information Management team. This team consists of a group of professionals in the fields of data, information provision, and governance.

We are primarily curious about who you are and what you can do. It is important that you are yourself and bring an analytical and curious attitude. We see this reflected in the investigation of processes, data, and improvement opportunities. Furthermore, we are counting on you:

• You are following a higher professional education (HBO) program in the direction of ICT, (Technical) Business Administration, Data Science, Information Management, or a similar study
• You have an interest in data quality, data management, and process improvement
• You can analyze information and establish connections between processes, people, and data
• You communicate easily with various stakeholders within an organization
• You work independently, ask critical questions, and take initiative
• You can translate research results into clear and practical recommendations
• You have command of the Dutch language, both spoken and written (B2 level).

As a Data Quality Intern, you will be part of an enthusiastic team and will get the opportunity to gain practical experience. We will coordinate the number of hours and internship days together. Additionally, we offer, among other things, the following employment conditions:

• An internship allowance of € 525.00 per month
