Definition working student

Working students are students who are enrolled at a University or some other institution of higher education, and who are employed in a reasonably long, fixed-term position parallel to their studies. This position must not be confused with an internship or with the possibility of writing a final thesis.

This employment usually takes place directly on the company's premises. A working student's main focus remains on their studies, which is why, during term-time, working students are not allowed to work more than 20 hours per week.

Working students therefore usually work near their place of study, so as to conveniently combine studying and employment.

Your location:  Hamburg Finkenwerder

You will be working at the largest production site for civil aircraft situated in Hamburg. Its location on the southern banks of the river Elbe includes the option to commute by ferry. Experience the special flair of Hamburg in your spare time where vibrant cosmopolitan culture meets nautic legacy.

Finkenwerder

Are you wondering how you actually get from university to Airbus? Your working student position is at the Finkenwerder plant and you can take the ferry from Teufelsbrück to the Airbus ferry terminal and back to the university in the morning and at noon. Alternatively, you can take the ferry to Finkenwerder and then ride your bike for about another 15 minutes to the main entrance. 

Your benefits

  • Attractive salary and work-life balance with an 18-hour week (flexitime).

  • A final thesis is possible after consultation with the department.

  • International environment with the opportunity to network globally.

  • Work with modern/diversified technologies.

  • At Airbus, we see you as a valuable team member and you are not hired to brew coffee, instead you are in close contact with the interfaces and are part of our weekly team meetings.

  • Opportunity to participate in the Generation Airbus Community to expand your own network.

  • Strategic Impact: You don’t just administrative tasks; you help shape the way we manage investments.

  • High-Level Exposure: Gain insights into global investment projects and strategic decision-making within a leading company.

  • Professional Growth: Close collaboration with experienced procurement managers and cross-functional teams.

Your tasks and responsibilities

  • End-to-End Coordination: Act as a central hub for CAPEX requests. Oversee the meeting landscape and ensure clarity on "who does what" to drive projects from initial request to final approval.

  • Stakeholder Alignment: Align and collaborate closely with CAPEX managers, strategic buyers, and engineering to ensure the standardized CAPEX Template is completed accurately and on time.

  • Process Optimization & Governance: Support the streamlining of internal procurement processes and contribute to the design of a more efficient CAPEX governance.

  • Decision Support: Support the preparation and presentation of CAPEX requests in Multi-Functional Team (MFT) or decision-making forums to secure necessary funding.

  • Active Communication & Follow-up: Proactively follow up on open actions. If a request is rejected or budget is cut, you ensure the information is communicated back to the project leads and budgets are adjusted accordingly in the systems.

 

 Desired skills and qualifications

  • Academic Background: Enrolled fulltime student (d/f/m) in Business Administration, Industrial Engineering, or a comparable field.

  • Mindset: Strong interest in strategic procurement and investment processes (CAPEX), with a passion for building lean and efficient structures.
