Internships at Poorthuis
Specialist technology that takes you further
Looking for a technical internship where you do more than just look over someone’s shoulder? At Poorthuis Industrial Services you get to know specialist technology you won’t easily come across during your studies. You work with experienced craftsmen on real technical challenges, in our workshop in Oldenzaal and on site at clients. You discover where your technical interests lie, learn something new every day and develop yourself in practice.
Poorthuis works for industrial clients in the Netherlands and abroad. One day you work in our own machine shop in Oldenzaal, another day the work takes you to a client on site. Our specialists overhaul and modify parts, carry out machining and specialised welding and solve technical problems on site. That makes the work both technical and varied.
What can you learn at Poorthuis?
Much of our work does not fit within a single standard course. That is why we train our people into specialists in practice. As an intern you get to know that practice up close.
01
Overhaul and maintenance
Getting to know overhaul and maintenance in practice.
02
Machining
Gaining experience with machining.
03
Modification and welding
Getting to know the modification of technical parts and specialised welding.
04
Service and engineering
Working on on-site service and on analysing and solving technical problems.
We don’t expect you to be able to do all this already. We are curious about what interests you and what you want to get better at.
Is Poorthuis a good fit?
Do you get excited about technology and want to understand how things really work? Do you like coming up with solutions and getting your hands dirty? We are looking for vocational and university-of-applied-sciences engineering students who are curious and eager to learn. Which technical course you follow need not be decisive.
