Operations Unpaid Internship – Canary Islands

Fund Size: €90M USD

Location: Canary Islands, Spain (with global impact)

Focus: Sustainable technology operations and European market expansion

Start: ASAP

Important Note: This is an unpaid internship. We don't cover accommodation, food, visa, or flights. What we offer? The chance to build skills that don't exist in textbooks, work on projects that matter, and live like the future leader you're meant to be.

What You'll Do: Engineer operational excellence for sustainable technology projects across the German market from our Canary Islands headquarters, combining German precision and systematic thinking with Spanish innovation to create world-class operational systems for waste-to-energy and biomass gasification projects. You'll develop comprehensive operational frameworks that meet German engineering standards and regulatory requirements, create detailed process documentation and quality management systems for German market implementations, and establish supply chain management protocols for German suppliers, contractors, and technology partners. 

Your responsibilities include designing operational workflows that comply with German technical standards and environmental regulations, developing vendor qualification and management systems for German engineering firms and equipment suppliers, and creating performance measurement and continuous improvement systems that meet German quality expectations. You'll also establish project management methodologies that align with German engineering practices, develop risk management and compliance frameworks for German regulatory environment, and create operational training and certification programs for German project teams. Additionally, you'll optimize resource allocation and scheduling for German market conditions, develop cost management and efficiency optimization strategies that meet German precision standards, and collaborate with German partners and stakeholders to ensure flawless operational execution of sustainable technology projects.

Required Skills:

  • Operations Excellence: Experience with German-style process optimization, quality management, and operational precision
  • German Market: Understanding of German business culture, engineering standards, and regulatory requirements
  • Quality Systems: Knowledge of German quality management systems (ISO, DIN standards)
  • Process Engineering: Ability to design and optimize complex operational processes with German precision
  • Languages: Fluent English required, German language skills highly preferred

Why It's Cool: German operational excellence is legendary worldwide, and you're applying those standards to scale sustainable technology across one of Europe's largest and most demanding markets while learning from the engineering tradition that sets global standards for precision and reliability. The operational systems you create will enable deployment of waste-to-energy solutions that meet German engineering standards, making clean technology more reliable and efficient throughout Germany. This is where operational precision meets sustainability impact, where you'll be developing processes that could transform how Germany approaches waste management and clean energy production with characteristic German thoroughness and reliability. Your work will contribute to Germany's Energiewende goals while building expertise that makes you invaluable in the global clean technology operations sector.

Canary Islands Option: Engineer German-precision operations from paradise, where German systematic thinking meets Atlantic island innovation to create breakthrough operational systems for sustainable technology deployment. Optimize processes with ocean views, develop operational excellence with your international team over beachside engineering sessions, and find inspiration for your systematic improvements in the natural efficiency and precision you observe in Canary Islands volcanic ecosystems. Perfect operational workflows between island explorations, celebrate precision breakthroughs with sunset dinners alongside fellow engineers from around the world, and experience how the right environment can enhance both systematic thinking and operational innovation.
