Logistics, marketing, purchasing, HR, controlling and sales. In each department, you will support the team for six months, getting to know their processes, methods and tools.

As a business administrator you will work closely with various internal roles as well as with customers and suppliers. You will gain a deeper understanding of operational processes through practical application.
