Procurement Intern H/F Electra

The shift to electric mobility is happening. Electra is accelerating it.

Transportation is one of Europe's biggest sources of carbon emissions. Since 2021, Electra exists to make charging so simple that electric vehicles become the obvious choice for everyone.

In 5 years, we've built a team of 300+ talents from 21 nationalities in 10 countries.

We've grown into one of Europe's leading fast-charging operators by deploying fast, reliable infrastructure and user experiences across our own network, and we're now expanding to thousands more charging points in Europe with our own eMSP.

Backed by over €1 billion in funding, we're looking for bold, passionate, collaborative talents to drive Europe's energy transition.

If that sounds exciting, we'd love to hear from you!

To support Electra's growth and its ambition to deploy 2,000 fast-charging stations by 2030, you will join the HQ Procurement team for a 6-month internship starting in January 2027. Reporting to the Head of Procurement and working closely with the Lead Buyer, you will contribute to CAPEX and OPEX purchasing across technical equipment and services, including engineering services, soil surveys, utility detection, lighting poles and screens.

You will work closely with Roll Out Project Managers to support technical purchases in France and collaborate with local teams across Europe on their tenders. Alongside hands-on sourcing and project purchasing, you will help monitor supplier performance and keep our procurement knowledge base in Notion up to date, practical and actively used by the team.

• Support supplier negotiations and the preparation of suitable contracts in coordination with the Procurement and Legal teams

• Follow up on supplier kick-offs and delivery commitments, and help resolve supplier issues or disputes
