Then this graduation internship within Alfen's Energy Storage Systems (ESS) Sales team might be the perfect opportunity for you.

During this internship, you will work on your own graduation project within an international and innovative environment.

Possible topics include:

• Analyzing and improving existing business processes;
• Identifying bottlenecks and opportunities for improvement;
• Researching customer needs and market developments;
• Analyzing data and translating findings into practical recommendations;
• Exploring how AI, data analytics, or digital tools can contribute to more efficient ways of working.

To complete your research, you will collaborate with stakeholders from different departments, gather insights, and translate your findings into a well-founded and practical improvement proposal.

In addition to your graduation assignment, you will have the opportunity to gain exposure to the daily activities of the team. You will attend meetings, learn how commercial processes work in practice, and gain insight into how technical and commercial challenges come together within a fast-growing international organization.
