Intern, Manufacturing Project Lead

Let’s talk about the Team

The Manufacturing Project Lead (MPL) team works across Product Development, Manufacturing, Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain and other functions to support the successful introduction of new products into manufacturing.

Our role is highly collaborative. We help bring the right people together, keep manufacturing activities moving, identify and communicate risks, and support teams in preparing for key project milestones and product launch.

As an MPL Intern, you’ll get exposure to how new products move from development into manufacturing and learn how different teams work together to deliver a project.

Let’s talk about the Role

As an MPL Intern, you will work alongside experienced Manufacturing Project Leads and support the coordination and delivery of New Product Introduction (NPI) activities.

This internship is an opportunity to develop practical project management and stakeholder engagement skills in a real manufacturing environment. You’ll attend cross-functional project meetings, help track actions and timelines, support project documentation and learn how manufacturing risks and readiness are managed throughout a project.

You won’t be expected to know everything from day one. We’re looking for someone who is curious, organised, comfortable working with different people and willing to ask questions and learn.

• •Support Manufacturing Project Leads with day-to-day project coordination and follow-up.
