Within the environmental field, the department carries out a wide range of activities, including the introduction and assessment of new chemicals, data management in the GeSi system, the management of hazardous substances and dangerous goods, and the development and implementation of warehouse and storage concepts in cooperation with external partners. The team also develops and delivers training programs to support compliance with environmental regulations and company standards.

As an intern, you will support the team in these environmental activities, contribute to ongoing projects, and gain valuable insight into environmental management within an international industrial environment.

• Availability for a minimum commitment of 5 months, either as a full-time intern or on a part-time basis alongside your studies.
• Strong communication skills in both German and English.
• Willingness to work on-site in Schaan, as this position is not suitable for remote work.
