Engineering internship
Are you a student of Mechanical Engineering or a similar field, looking for an internship where you really get to do things? At Romonta in Katwijk you help design machines for the food processing industry. You contribute to projects, learn from experienced engineers and see your designs appear on the shop floor.
Is this internship for you?
At Romonta you work in a small team of around twelve engineering colleagues who all know each other. You will not be making coffee or copies: from day one you work on customer projects. You draw in Inventor, work out designs and liaise with engineers, production and sometimes even customers. Not just theoretical assignments, but machines that actually get built.
We build everything under one roof, from first sketch to assembly on the shop floor. That means you see how your drawings are welded, assembled and tested. You move between engineering and production, ask experienced colleagues questions and learn how designs work in practice.
We supervise internships for vocational, bachelor’s and university students. Whether you are doing a short work placement or your graduation research, we make sure you learn something and make a real contribution.
What will you do?
That depends on your level, field of study and internship assignment. Possible tasks:
- You help design conveyor belts, platforms or bulk handling systems in Inventor;
- You work out technical drawings, from individual parts to complete assemblies;
- You research improvements, standardisation or new design principles (suitable for graduation projects);
- You carry out strength calculations or work on CE documentation;
- You liaise with production to learn how designs are realised in practice;
- You have a dedicated supervisor who helps you, while you also work on assignments independently.
What you can expect from us
- A personal meeting in which we discuss your internship assignment and how it fits within our projects;
- Guidance from experienced mechanical engineers who take the time to explain how things work and why design choices are made;
- Real projects you contribute to. Not just theoretical assignments, but machines built for customers in the food industry;
- An internship allowance and travel allowance in line with customary standards;
- If things go well: the chance of a side job during your studies or a job after graduation;
- An informal working atmosphere where you can ask questions, make mistakes and learn from people who know the trade inside out.
Who is this internship for?
- You are studying Mechanical Engineering or a comparable technical programme (vocational, bachelor’s or university level);
- You have basic knowledge of 3D CAD software (Inventor, SolidWorks or Creo). If you know another package, you will learn Inventor with us;
- You are eager to learn, practical and enjoy seeing designs become reality;
- You are looking for an internship of at least three months (work placement) or are working on your graduation assignment;
- You live near Katwijk or can travel there daily (easy to reach by car, less so by public transport).
How to apply
Email your details to emiel.beek@romonta.nl. Briefly tell us:
- Which programme and year you are in;
- The period in which you would like to do your internship;
- Whether you are looking for a work placement or a graduation internship;
- What you would like to learn.
Your CV and any internship assignment are useful to include, but not a must. We will call you within a few days to get acquainted and see whether it is a good fit.
