What To Expect
Location: Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg

Duration: 6 Months

Time Type: Full-Time

Start Date: September 2026

The internship assignment:

The Waste Management team at Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg is responsible for the safe, efficient, and sustainable handling of all production and packaging waste across the factory. As an Intern, you will directly support the team's day-to-day work, keeping shopfloor waste flows running during factory ramp-up and aligning across shops, logistics, packaging, industrial engineering, and external service providers to ensure smooth and efficient waste management.

What You'll Do

  • Support the Waste Management team in daily shopfloor operations across all shops and associated waste areas.
  • Help ensure waste sorting, handling, transport, and outbound flows keep pace with factory ramp-up at peak efficiency.
  • Conduct time studies to benchmark waste processes.
  • Analyze the waste impact of packaging changes and model additional volume, space, manpower, and cost demand.
  • Support operation of the waste ticketing system, including dispatch and follow-up.
  • Maintain and improve weekly waste reporting and consolidate disposal-tracking data.
  • Prepare visual materials (site walks, photos, sketches, before/after) documenting waste-area issues and improvements.


    • What You'll Bring

  • Currently enrolled Bachelor's or Master's student in Process Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Logistics, Supply Chain, or Sustainability Management.
  • First practical experience in production, logistics, or waste/circular-economy environments is a plus.
  • Basic understanding of manufacturing operations, packaging materials, and waste streams.
  • Confident with Excel (data cleaning, pivots, basic modeling) and PowerPoint; SQL/Python is a plus.
  • Fluency in English (German is a plus)
  • Hands-on mentality — comfortable on the shopfloor, joining walkdowns, and solving problems where they happen.
  • Strong teamwork, communication, and stakeholder-management skills.
  • Structured, self-driven, and pragmatic in a fast-changing ramp-up environment.
  • Candidates are expected to uphold and actively promote sustainability principles in their daily work, operating in line with Tesla Global Environmental, Health, Safety & Security (EHS&S) Policy and EMAS requirements, fostering a culture of continuous environmental improvement.

    Working student essentials

    What this Logistics internship in Grünheide means for you: the pay rules, the social contributions, and what international students should check before applying.

    Weekly hours

    Internships have no 20-hour cap, but a voluntary internship longer than three months generally has to pay at least the German minimum wage. Mandatory internships in your study programme are exempt.

    Working student rules

    Social contributions

    Mandatory internships are largely exempt from social contributions. Voluntary internships are treated like regular employment once they run long enough, so contributions usually apply.

    Check your insurance

    International students

    Non-EU students can work 140 full or 280 half days per year (raised from 120/240 in March 2024). A working student contract usually fits within this — confirm the exact limits printed on your residence permit.
