Love real brainteasers? So do we

Whether it's earthquake-resistant lock gates, gigantic container cranes, or icons like the London Eye – at Iv, you’ll work on structures so complex that not every engineering company dares to take them on. We do. And that’s exactly what makes your internship here so unique.

During your graduation internship, you’ll contribute to technically challenging projects with major societal and infrastructural impact. No design is ever standard. You’ll work on unique, dynamic structures that bring together steel, mechanics, and motion. Think: designing movable bridges, offshore transport structures, or ultra-heavy lifting constructions. Together with our engineers, you'll have the freedom to shape your internship or graduation assignment based on your interests and ongoing projects. You'll work in multidisciplinary teams with specialists from other fields, giving you insight into the full picture behind every design.

What do we expect from you?

  • You are pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering.
  • You are analytically strong, creative, and think beyond standard designs
  • You have an affinity for steel structures, mechanics, and complex technical systems
  • You are curious, independent, and take initiative
  • You are solution-oriented and have an eye for feasibility and safety

What do we have to offer you?

A challenging (graduation) internship at the most diverse engineering company in the Netherlands! We’ll help you get the most out of your internship assignment. You’ll work on unique one-of-a-kind challenges and be given real responsibility. We’ll encourage you to push yourself and go the extra mile. With guidance from experienced colleagues who are happy to share their knowledge, we’ll help you develop your talents. Oh, and not unimportant: we offer an attractive internship allowance. This ranges from €400 for MBO students to €600 for HBO students and €800 for WO students.
