Vacancy description

In this internship we will focus on understanding and optimizing the powder properties of our infant formula by looking into recipe compositions and interactions during processing.

You will start this internship by collecting internal/external information about what is known so far. After preparing a research proposal, you will perform lab trials and analyses on the prepared samples. You interpret and present results regularly to the relevant stakeholders and will write a final report at the end of your internship.

Staying true to who you really are, that is your starting point at FrieslandCampina. Because it is precisely by embracing our differences that we can grow together. We want to create a working environment that allows all employees to bring their best and authentic selves. If who we are suits you, but you're not sure if you're the best fit for the role, we still encourage you to apply so we can help you find the role that fits you best.

You will work in the team of Specialized Nutrition, which consists of ca. 60 colleagues working on infant food. You will report regularly to a development specialist, who will help set the scope of your internship. Moreover, you will be in close contact with research development experts and will get help from lab technicians and regular discussions and support by development specialists. The location is Wageningen Innovation Centre and your home office.

For thousands of people every day, we are more than just a dairy company. To our farmers, our employees, the communities we serve, the businesses we work with and the people to whom we bring happiness, FrieslandCampina means something more. For them it's not just about what we do, but who we are.

We value talented people from any background who want to contribute to something bigger than themselves. We encourage all of our employees to make decisions that benefit our entire company. At FrieslandCampina we own our own career and act accordingly. We trust you to make a difference in your job and influence the bigger picture. Working at FrieslandCampina means you are contributing to a better world.
