Role highlights:

Title: Supply Chain Intern

Location: Valencia, Spain

Type of Contract: Internship, with opportunity to transition to a permanent position

Working model: On-site

Employment is subject to applicable security screening (incl. SUPO, where required)

Why this role matters

As an R&D Supply Chain Intern, you help keep an aerospace R&D project in Valencia supplied with the parts, materials and services it needs to move forward. In a supply chain built around specialised components, long lead times and a limited supplier base, every RFQ sent on time and every delay caught early protects the project schedule. This is a real seat on a real programme, not a shadowing exercise. You will learn how flight-grade hardware actually gets sourced, from engineering requirement to delivered part, with experienced colleagues alongside you.

Your day-to-day responsibilities

• Support the sourcing of components, parts and services across our supplier base, working alongside engineering, production and procurement

• Help translate engineering requirements into RFQs and supplier evaluations, learning how technical specifications become commercial decisions

• Monitor deliveries, follow up with suppliers on delays, and keep the team updated on order status

• Help spot supply risks early, including long lead times, single sources and obsolescence, and support the search for alternatives

• Support the R&D project in Valencia as needs and requirements change, adapting quickly alongside the team

What we’re looking for

Must haves:

• Currently studying, or recently graduated in, engineering (aerospace, industrial, mechanical or similar), supply chain, or business with a genuine technical interest

• Basic familiarity with engineering and manufacturing processes, ideally in aerospace (coursework, projects or student teams count)

• Comfortable reading technical documents such as drawings, specifications and datasheets

• More drawn to coordination and management (planning, follow-up, working with suppliers and teams) than to hands-on technical design

• Able to work under pressure and adapt when priorities and requirements shift

• Fluent English and Spanish, spoken and written

• Eligible for an internship agreement (convenio de prácticas) with a university or training institution

Nice to haves:
