Are you excited to explore how Artificial Intelligence can transform HR operations in a global enterprise? The Global HR Service Desk is the primary contact point for HR questions from employees and managers across Vanderlande. Currently, a significant portion of daily operations consists of recurring inquiries, manual data searches, ticket classification, and repetitive administrative tasks. This limits the time available for complex case management, service enhancement, and personalized employee support.
In this internship, you will investigate how AI can streamline and optimize first-line HR support while ensuring privacy, security, and a seamless employee experience. You will analyse service workload and ticket data, identify high-value AI use cases, and evaluate solutions such as automated knowledge retrieval, ticket routing, response assistance, or task automation. By creating practical recommendations and testing a proof of concept, you will directly influence how our global HR service desk operates in the future.
You will join the Global HR Service Desk team, operating in a dynamic, international service environment. Our team provides accessible, consistent support, resolves standard queries, and routes specialized cases to expert HR teams. We collaborate closely with HR Operations, HR Technology, Centers of Expertise, HR Business Partners, and local HR teams worldwide.
As an intern, you will work alongside international service desk colleagues and key stakeholders. Your day-to-day work will combine data analysis, stakeholder interviews, process mapping, and experimentation, allowing you to turn innovative technology concepts into scalable operational improvements.

Vanderlande is a market-leading, global partner for future-proof logistic process automation in the warehousing, airports and parcel sectors. Its extensive portfolio of integrated solutions – innovative systems, intelligent software and life-cycle services – results in the realisation of fast, reliable and efficient automation technology.
The company focuses on the optimisation of its customers’ business processes and competitive positions. Through close cooperation, it strives for the improvement of their operational activities and the expansion of their logistical achievements.
Established in 1949, Vanderlande has more than 11,000 employees and a turnover of 2.3 billion euros.
Toyota Industries Corporation (TICO) acquired Vanderlande in 2017 to cement its global leading position within material handling. It aims to achieve this by increasing its presence in all integrated and automated projects, and capitalising on the synergies between the organisations and the added value they offer to the market.
TICO therefore launched the Toyota Automated Logistics Group (TALG), which consists of Toyota L&F, Bastian Solutions, Vanderlande and viastore. TALG is a global partner for integrated logistic process automation, with its group companies collaborating under the guiding principle: for every challenge, a reliable solution.
In May 2025, Vanderlande completed the acquisition of Siemens Logistics' operations outside the USA and in doing so welcomed more than 2,000 new employees. The acquisition supports the company’s strategic ambition to accelerate its growth in automated logistics, particularly strengthening its capacity to deliver baggage, cargo and digital airport solutions.
