Are you ready to shape how a global leader in logistics automation develops its future workforce? As Vanderlande’s global Service organization continues to expand, ensuring our teams have the right skills, knowledge, and capabilities is essential. While we invest heavily in training and professional development, there is currently no standardized approach to objectively evaluate team maturity and target improvements where they matter most.
During this internship or graduation project, you will tackle this challenge by designing a practical and scalable capability maturity framework. You will research best practices, engage with international stakeholders, and pilot assessment methodologies across various service teams. By analyzing pilot results and mapping skill gaps, you will deliver actionable recommendations that empower leaders to make data-driven decisions on training investments and workforce readiness.
You will join the Capability Management workstream within the Distribution Service Excellence team. Our team drives organizational performance, workforce growth, and operational readiness across Vanderlande’s global Distribution Service network. We operate across four key areas: Service Operations & Support, Capability Management, Service Development, and Strategic Programs & Governance.
You will work in an international, supportive, and dynamic environment, collaborating with regional service organizations, operational leaders, digital solution experts, and training specialists worldwide. In this role, you will combine research, stakeholder engagement, and data analysis to directly influence how Vanderlande builds capabilities for long-term success.

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.
