What are you going to do?

What you will do will of course depend largely on the project you are working on.

In one project, you'll help greenhouse growers remove crop protection products from residual water, while in another, you'll test the purification capacity of a swamp roof or investigate the savings that can be achieved with a rainwater harvesting system. CEW is a dynamic company with ongoing new projects, but they all have one thing in common: they are all real and come straight from practice.

Depending on your interests, experience, education and other background, we will try to place you on the most suitable project. You will be professionally guided by experts from the water world.

Our office is located at the WaterCampus, Oostergoweg 9 in Leeuwarden. Here, you'll intern with a team of permanent employees and a constantly changing group (15 to 25) of students. Depending on your project, you'll also regularly be at the Water Application Center (WAC). We conduct extensive research at the WAC, but also in the field, on client sites.
