Hi, We’re Nexio Projects
As a dynamic team, we form a motivated group of 20+ co-workers headquartered in Rotterdam and have cultivated a unique team spirit that is both impact-driven and purpose-oriented. We are humble, hardworking and continuous learners.
As a Climate Change Intern in our Rotterdam Office, you will work closely with clients to determine where they stand regarding climate change, what their ambitions are, what their major risks and opportunities are, and develop meaningful climate change strategies and present detailed and professional reports to clients.
Through your work, you will have an opportunity to showcase your consulting skills and engage with large corporations and SMEs regarding climate change. As training and growth are a central part of Nexio Projects, we will provide you with the tools and teachings to allow you to grow as an expert on corporate climate change strategies.

Some of your tasks will include:
- Facilitating and streamlining the collection of data from clients;
- Taking a hands-on approach with collecting data by contacting all required stakeholders directly;
- Sourcing appropriate and accurate emissions factors from internal and external databases;
- Using software and calculation models (MS PowerBI, Excel, etc.) to transform client data into greenhouse gas emissions;
- Creating insightful data visualisations for client reports;
- Writing reports and presentations and helping to present these to clients;
- Continuously helping to develop and improve internal calculation models and processes;
- Developing estimation models where data is not available using research and accurate assumptions;
- Assisting with other climate-related projects (emissions reduction strategies, climate risk assessments, setting Science-Based Targets, etc.).
