Job description


Are you a third- or fourth-year HBO or university student with a passion for food, food trends and quality? Then we have an internship where you can put your knowledge into practice right away. At Beagley Copperman, we bring the latest Asian food products to Europe. But before a trending snack, sauce or drink reaches consumers, it first needs to meet all relevant European requirements.

You will spend at least 50% of your time working with our Quality department. You will support colleagues with current quality-related topics and gain valuable insight into the day-to-day operations of an international and entrepreneurial food organisation. In addition, you will have the opportunity to work independently on a substantive internship assignment that is not only interesting for you, but also adds direct value to Beagley Copperman.

Examples of current compliance-related topics include:

  • How can we assess allergens faster and more efficiently?
  • Which product names are permitted under EU legislation?
  • When is a nutrition claim allowed, and when could it be considered misleading?
  • How can we make sure new Asian food trends become EU-compliant quickly and correctly?


The ultimate goal is to deliver a practical tool, checklist, working method or other concrete final product that can actually be used within Beagley Copperman.

Tasks and Responsibilities


As an intern, you will be part of our Quality department. Your work will be practical, varied and hands-on.

For example, you may be involved in:


  • Checking labels and product specifications;
  • Assessing ingredients, allergens and product names;
  • Reviewing nutrition claims and other product claims;
  • Supporting the assessment of new products and supplier information;
  • Contributing to questions related to EU food legislation and regulations;
  • Researching how Asian food products can be adapted to meet European requirements;
  • Supporting current quality and compliance-related issues;
  • Contributing ideas on how to make our quality processes smarter and more efficient.


This way, you will not only learn what the rules are, but more importantly, how to apply them in practice.

As a third- or fourth-year HBO or university intern in Food & Quality, you will discover how Asian food trends make their way into the European market. You will spend 50% of your time working with our Quality department, focusing on labels, ingredients, allergens, claims and EU legislation. In addition, you will independently explore a current compliance-related topic and develop a practical solution that Beagley Copperman can use directly. This is an entrepreneurial internship for someone who is passionate about food, enjoys researching and wants to learn what it really takes to make a product EU-compliant.

What We’re Looking For


We are looking for a third- or fourth-year HBO or university student who is curious about the world behind food products.

This internship could be a good fit if you are studying Food Technology, Food & Business, Food Commerce & Technology, Nutrition and Dietetics, Life Sciences, Quality Management or a similar programme.


You also meet the following criteria:
  • You are pursuing a degree in the food sector;
  • You have a passion for food;
  • You are proactive and able to identify where things can be improved or made more efficient;
  • You are a strong communicator and enjoy helping colleagues;
  • You are curious and quickly become familiar with new systems and software;
  • You have a good command of both Dutch and English;
  • You are available for 32 or 40 hours per week;
  • You live in or near De Kwakel.

What we offer


Since 2019, Beagley Copperman has been based in a modern new office designed to provide employees with everything they need to perform their work effectively.

The office has an entrepreneurial and energetic atmosphere where successes are celebrated. Beagley Copperman is growing rapidly, creating opportunities for motivated employees to develop and progress within the company.

Would you like to build your career within an ambitious and growing organisation? This is the place to do it.

    • Professional coaching and guidance;
    • A competitive internship allowance;
    • Development and training opportunities;
    • An international working environment;
    • An ambitious and friendly workplace;
    • Plenty of opportunities to unwind, including weekly bootcamp sessions, table football and table tennis.

    Organization


    Beagley Copperman is a rapidly growing international organization that has specialized in Asian food products for 18 years. The organization focuses primarily on wholesalers, importers, catering establishments, supermarkets, etc. It trades with virtually all European countries. Partly as a result, the office in the Netherlands consists of colleagues of different nationalities with various working languages. This is why English is often preferred over Dutch.
