Student in Project Management in the Logistics Division (m/f/d)

CEVA Logistics, part of the CMA CGM group, is looking for a Student Worker in Project Management in Logistics (m/f/d) to kick off a career in Meppen, Germany. The role is onsite, aimed at someone who wants hands-on experience in coordinating logistics projects while studying. The company operates in 170 countries with more than 110,000 employees at over 1,300 locations and aims to be among the top five global contract logistics providers, so you’ll be joining a network that values practical impact and learning on the job. This opportunity suits students pursuing a degree in economics, industrial engineering, business administration, or similar fields who are curious about how logistics projects come together.

In this position you’ll work alongside a collaborative team that values steady progress and real contributions. You’ll gain exposure to how logistics processes are analysed, improved, and implemented, with guidance from experienced colleagues who want to see you grow. It’s a good fit if you like structured work, enjoy tackling new challenges, and want to build your project-management skills in a real-world setting.

Meppen offers a snapshot of the daily flow you’ll navigate: you’ll provide administrative and project-related support, build and maintain KPI reports, and help analyse logistics processes with an eye toward optimization. You’ll also contribute to Lean Management initiatives and participate in implementing projects that streamline operations. If you want to see the tangible outcomes of your work and how data informs decisions, you’ll feel at home here.

Day-to-day momentum in the Meppen team

Your typical day blends clerical tasks with hands-on project work. You’ll prepare and organize documentation for ongoing projects, track milestones, and help keep all stakeholders in the loop. The role includes compiling KPI dashboards and updating metrics that reflect how processes perform, so you’ll sharpen your data-reading and reporting chops while supporting broader improvement efforts. You’ll also be involved in evaluating logistics processes and suggesting practical tweaks, with opportunities to participate in Lean Management activities and contribute to how new initiatives are rolled out.

Advice for applicants

Lead with your student status and your field of study on your resume, since the role targets learners in relevant programs and you want to make that clear at a glance.

Show you can back up your claims with concrete work. If you’ve created KPI reports, contributed to process analyses, or participated in any lean initiatives, describe the impact and the numbers where possible.

Prepare to talk through a small project or analysis you handled in school or a previous internship that demonstrates your structured approach, your ability to communicate findings, and your comfort with data.

Ask a precise question about the team’s current lean management initiatives or which KPI they’re focusing on right now, so you can show you’ve thought about how you’d contribute from day one.
