Job Description

Navantia UK and Harland & Wolff are pleased to launch our paid 6‑week Summer Internship Programme, offering undergraduate students the chance to gain hands‑on experience within a world‑class shipbuilding and engineering environment.

This placement is ideal for students studying Engineering, Mathematics, Science, Economics, or related disciplines, particularly those with an interest in data analytics, statistics, or applied problem‑solving.

About the Project

You will work on a meaningful, real‑world project analysing 3D measurement data relating to the size, shape, and flatness of steel plate and bar before and after welding. Your work will help quantify weld deformation and generate accurate compensation values that will directly support future shipyard fabrication processes.

This is a rare opportunity to contribute to a project with long‑term impact on shipbuilding performance and innovation.

What You’ll Gain

Throughout the internship, you will develop:

A foundational understanding of Spatial Engineering and Weld Deformation in a modern shipbuilding environment

Practical data analytics and data presentation skills (Excel as a core tool)

Experience working with multi‑skilled engineering, operations, and technical teams

Confidence in planning, articulating, and delivering a structured statistical project

Professional experience presenting findings to senior stakeholders

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and encourage individuals who are curious, motivated, and eager to learn.

Programme Structure

Weeks 1–2
