Intern International Rental (20 weeks)

Are you looking for an internship where you not only support the business, but also make a real impact at a strategic level? Within Boels International Rental, you will have the opportunity to directly contribute to the international growth strategy of our organization. In this role, you will work on a concrete and current business challenge: where are the greatest commercial opportunities within Europe, and how can we, as an international player, best capitalize on them? You will dive deep into the market, analyze data, engage with stakeholders, and translate your insights into a clear and well-founded strategy.

What makes this internship unique? You won’t stop at analysis alone. You will actively contribute to building a commercial pipeline and present your findings in a business case that will be used for board-level decision-making. This means your work will have a direct impact on the future of our organization. At the same time, you will gain insight into an international commercial organization. You will collaborate with colleagues from different countries, work with account managers, and see how opportunities are converted into concrete projects. An ideal combination of strategy, analysis, and hands-on experience within a technical and international environment.
