Infrastructure, Safety, Environment and Engineering

The two-year trainee program Engineering allows you to get to know different areas at Boehringer Ingelheim in the form of three- to six-month job rotations. The majority of rotations take place in Germany (at the corporate headquarters in Ingelheim and optionally at the Biberach site). An assignment abroad is not an integral part of the program but may be possible in consultation with your supervisors. The trainee program aims to provide an overall view of different departments at Boehringer Ingelheim. This is achieved by immersing you during each station in the daily business, taking on sub-projects and tasks. The focus is always on your personal development, which means that an individual deployment plan is drawn up for you in close consultation with your supervisor.

The projects and deployment rotations can be in many different areas. Possible rotations are:

Utilities and Services
Business Process Excellence
Global Engineering
Site Engineering & Technology
Biopharmaceuticals
Launch & Production Site Germany
Global Environment, Health, Safety & Sustainability
Human Pharma Supply
and more....!

During these rotations, you will be assigned to a specific project and will actively participate in the implementation together with the technical supervisors.

In addition to the professional project work, you will strengthen your soft skills and leadership competencies in seminars that are specifically organized for trainees from all departments. Furthermore, the trainee circle offers you an active, interdisciplinary, and international network. Together with the other trainees, you will organize visits to the various German-speaking locations and participate in discussions with BI executives.
