Tesla’s Construction Procurement team is seeking a motivated and analytical individual to join us as an Intern. This internship offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in strategic sourcing, procurement operations, and digital transformation within a fast-paced, innovation-driven environment. As a Procurement Intern, you will support the team across the full source-to-contract (S2C) lifecycle — from RFX (Request for Quotation/Proposal) to contract execution — while also contributing to the optimization of operational processes. We are particularly interested in candidates who have exposure to AI-driven workflows and a demonstrated interest in leveraging technology to improve procurement efficiency and decision-making.

What You’ll Do

• Support the end-to-end RFX process, including supplier mapping, scoping calls, and preparation of RFP/RFQ documents.

• Collaborate with business stakeholders to gather and clarify technical and commercial requirements.

• Assist in analyzing supplier proposals, including cost modeling, value assessment, and risk evaluation.

• Contribute to the development of data-driven business cases and recommendations.

• Help prepare presentations for stakeholder reviews, spend analysis, and S2C milestone meetings.

• Identify opportunities to improve procurement workflows through automation, data analytics, or AI-enabled tools.

• Support the digitization and standardization of indirect procurement processes.

• Work with cross-functional teams to enhance transparency, speed, and accuracy in procurement operations.

What You’ll Bring

• Currently pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Architecture, Supply Chain Management, Data Science, or a related field.

• Strong analytical mindset with proven problem-solving abilities and attention to detail.

• Familiarity with procurement processes (e.g., sourcing, contracting, P2P) — previous internship experience is a plus.

• Experience or demonstrated interest in AI workflows, data analysis, automation tools (e.g., Excel macros, Power BI, Python, AI platforms) is highly desirable.

• Comfortable working in a dynamic, fast-paced environment with evolving priorities.

• Proactive, self-driven, and able to take ownership of tasks with minimal supervision.

• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative team spirit.

• Fluency in English is required; knowledge of German is an advantage.

• 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.
