Apply your mechanical engineering knowledge in practice! Join Certhon for an internship and discover how to become a Project Engineer in high-tech greenhouse horticulture.

What you'll be doing:

As an intern in one of our work preparation departments, you'll be directly involved in the realization of projects from A to Z. You’ll collaborate with our project engineers to create 2D (AutoCAD) and 3D (HiCad) drawings, request quotes, order materials, and make construction drawings. Together with your colleagues, you’ll bring our technical designs to life.

Our work preparers work on innovative and high-tech cultivation solutions. We have in-house specialists in construction, climate, water, and electrical engineering, enabling us to handle turnkey projects from start to finish. During your internship, you’ll focus on a specific technical solution within one of these specializations but will also get the opportunity to explore all aspects of the project engineer role at Certhon.

Who are you?

• You’re pursuing a technical degree in mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, technical physics, or a similar field.
• You’re looking for a research-based internship, not a work placement.
• You can work independently and have an interest in greenhouse horticulture.
• You’re eager to learn, think critically, and want your research to contribute to our mission: "Growing anything, anywhere. For everyone!"

What we offer:

• An exciting internship where you’ll play a key role in leading greenhouse construction and indoor farming projects worldwide;
• Involved and knowledgeable colleagues who will guide, advise, and support your research, including a professional internship supervisor;
• An informal, friendly, and ambitious work atmosphere that is felt across the company;
• During your onboarding, you’ll dive straight into practice with ‘ff tuinen’ – a chance to visit growers, suppliers, and even experience a greenhouse escape room!
• Monthly vitality activities – from paddleboarding and boxing to cooking workshops, ice bath challenges, or sleep workshops. Our annual FitWeek also focuses on sports and health.

Grow as one.
