• Support a project to track supplier information, ensuring supplier → material → product relationships are recorded clearly and consistently.
• Help collect, organize, and log supplier sustainability information (e.g., certifications, basic environmental data, material documentation).
• 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.
• Organized and detail-oriented; comfortable working with spreadsheets and tracking information.
• Curious and willing to learn new systems and tools.
• Comfortable with email and Microsoft tools (Excel, Word, Teams).
• Able to follow instructions, ask questions, and keep tasks moving forward.
• Interested in environmental impact and how products are made (no deep expertise required).
