More about the role

This is a hands-on learning opportunity for someone who wants to develop at the intersection of lighting technology, project design and customer-facing commercial activity. The role combines direct interaction with customers and partners with technical work on professional lighting projects.

We are looking for someone with strong communication and interpersonal skills, a clear commercial mindset and the confidence to build relationships with customers, while also having the technical curiosity and analytical ability needed to understand lighting applications and work with lighting calculation and project-design tools.

What you'll do

• Support the Professional Trade sales team in developing lighting opportunities and projects with customers, installers and distribution partners.
• Participate in customer visits and meetings, learning how to understand customer needs, present solutions and build strong professional relationships.
• Assist in the preparation of lighting proposals and project calculations, using professional lighting calculation and design tools.
• Analyse project requirements, drawings and technical information to help select and configure suitable lighting solutions.
• Support the preparation of technical and commercial proposals, combining project calculations with the most appropriate Signify portfolio solutions.
• Help present and explain lighting solutions to customers, translating technical information into clear customer benefits.
• Work closely with Sales and other internal teams to follow opportunities from the initial customer need through project definition and proposal.
• Develop knowledge of professional lighting applications, products, controls and connected lighting solutions during the internship.

More about you

We're looking for

• A student or recent graduate in engineering, industrial engineering, electrical engineering, electronics, energy, architecture or another relevant technical field.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills. You are comfortable interacting with customers, listening to their needs and explaining ideas clearly.
• A commercial mindset and genuine interest in customer-facing work, sales and business development.
• Good technical and analytical skills, with the ability and motivation to learn lighting calculations, project design and product selection.
• Confidence using digital and technical tools. Experience with lighting calculation/design software is highly valued, and willingness to learn these tools quickly is essential.
• Ability to interpret technical information, project requirements and, ideally, plans or drawings.
• A proactive, curious and hands-on attitude, with the ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
• Availability to travel within the assigned territory when required for customer visits and project support.

Nice to have

• Previous academic or practical exposure to lighting design, electrical installations or technical project work.
• Familiarity with lighting calculation and design tools such as DIALux or similar software.
• Basic knowledge of CAD drawings or other engineering/project-design tools.
• An interest in professional lighting, energy efficiency and connected lighting solutions.

You'll be a great fit if you enjoy talking to customers as much as working on a technical project. We are looking for someone who can listen and communicate well, understand the commercial opportunity behind a customer need, and then use technical tools and lighting knowledge to help turn that need into a solid project proposal.

The internship duration is 6 months, and previous professional experience is not a requirement. The focus is on potential, attitude, customer orientation, technical capability and willingness to learn.
