* Assist in creating a simple schedule for requesting, updating, and reviewing supplier data.

* Help document a repeatable process for how supplier data should be requested, tracked, and maintained going forward.

* Track supplier responses and status updates using spreadsheets or simple tracking tools.

* Support internal coordination with Procurement, Engineering, and Sustainability to ensure information flows correctly.

* Help identify gaps, missing data, or inconsistencies and flag them to the team.

* Assist with basic sustainability or product documentation as needed.

What You'll Learn

* How supplier, material, and product data connect in a manufacturing environment

* How sustainability data is collected and managed across a supply chain

* How internal systems like 3E are used to support procurement and sustainability work

* How to build clear, repeatable processes for long-term use

* How cross-functional teams collaborate on sustainability and data management

Who You Are

* A student or recent graduate interested in sustainability, supply chain, engineering, materials, or the built environment.
