About the role

Help design the most unique ships and offshore concepts

As a Maritime Technology intern at Nevesbu – part of Iv– you’ll dive straight into the world of technically complex and multidisciplinary maritime projects. From submarines and frigates to floating offshore platforms – no design is ever standard. You’ll contribute to the development of innovative mechanical systems on board naval vessels, offshore units and specialised ships.

You’ll work on large international projects as well as smaller, in-depth technical challenges. You’ll collaborate with engineers from various disciplines, such as mechanical, structural and naval architecture, and receive guidance from seasoned specialists with extensive experience in shipbuilding and offshore engineering.

Nevesbu is a naval architecture and marine engineering firm operating in the fields of submarines, naval vessels, floating offshore energy, and special projects. We provide consultancy and engineering across all project phases – from feasibility studies to yard support. Examples include supporting the upkeep of the Dutch Walrus-class submarines, extending the service life of Malaysian frigates, or designing a floating transformer platform for offshore wind energy.

During your internship, you’ll have the opportunity to truly contribute to these one-of-a-kind projects – while advancing your own expertise to the next level.

What do we expect from you?

  • You are currently studying Maritime Technology, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or Structural Engineering at a university of applied sciences (HBO) or a research university (WO);

  • You have a strong interest in the maritime world and are curious about the technology behind ships and offshore structures;

  • You thrive on technical challenges and enjoy diving deep into complex subject matter;

  • You think creatively and critically, and aren’t afraid to explore unconventional solutions;

  • You are proactive and curious about new technologies and applications.

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.

Nevesbu is part of Iv: a global engineering company that solves the most complex challenges and tackles the greatest issues of our time. With more than 1,400 specialists, we work daily on solutions for the energy transition, climate change, and a safe, future-proof society. We design offshore wind platforms, submarines, and the largest locks in the world. No other engineering company is as diverse. With top-level technical knowledge, we deliver results that truly benefit society. We call this: Engineering that excites.

Questions about internships in Rotterdam

How many internships in Rotterdam are open right now?

44 at the moment, every one from an employer on the IND Public Register of Recognised Sponsors. A job leaves this page when the employer takes the posting down.

Can these employers sponsor my visa?

Being on the register means an employer is allowed to sponsor a highly skilled migrant visa. Whether it does for a specific role is the employer's decision.

What salary do I need for a highly skilled migrant visa in 2026?

From 1 January 2026 the IND requires a gross monthly salary of €5,942 if you are 30 or older, €4,357 if you are under 30, and €3,122 for recent graduates of Dutch universities and orientation-year holders. Holiday allowance is not counted in these amounts.

Do I need to speak Dutch to work in Rotterdam?

Not for the jobs shown here: by default these are postings in English that do not ask for Dutch. If you speak Dutch, the listings in Dutch or asking for Dutch open up many more roles at the same sponsors.
