About the Role:
For our Ferrero HQ based in Luxembourg, we are currently looking for an intern to join our Food Safety & Quality function to support the design, execution, and interpretation of sensory studies, contributing to projects across Ferrero’s iconic brands.
This internship offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in sensory evaluation, data analysis, and cross-functional collaboration within a global, innovation-driven company.
Main Responsibilities:
You will support the planning and coordination of sensory panels at our Global HQ, including descriptive, discriminative, and consumer tests for quality-related projects. Thanks to your organizational skills, you will prepare product samples, test materials, and ensure panel sessions run smoothly.
Moreover, your mission will be to help in collecting data, performing statistical analysis, and interpreting sensory results. You will also contribute to maintaining sensory databases and preparing internal reports that support ongoing projects.
Last but not least, you will also participate in internal meetings and share key findings when relevant. This experience will allow you to develop practical knowledge in sensory science and quality processes within an international environment.
About You:
To be eligible for the internship, you must be enrolled in an educational institution, or the internship must start and end within 12 months after your last school enrolment period. In addition, you must already hold EU citizenship or a valid work permit for Luxembourg which is valid at least until the end of September 2026.
You will bring your educational background in Food Science, Sensory Science, Consumer Science, or other related field with familiarity with the Food Industry.
Additionally, you understand sensory methodologies and basic statistics like ANOVA, PCA, and preference mapping while combining analytical thinking with strong organizational skills and attention to detail. You communicate well, enjoy teamwork, and bring curiosity and a proactive mindset to every task.
Also, your passion for food and sensory experiences drives your eagerness to learn and contribute.
Finally, you will bring your proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, PowerPoint), experience with sensory or statistical software (e.g., XLSTAT, Compusense, R) with your fluency in English.
