Join our Infrastructure Development team and take a central role in supporting Tesla's Facility Management and Real Estate operations across Southern Europe. You will contribute to portfolio performance, location strategy, and market expansion analysis — helping ensure Tesla's retail footprint is optimized and future-ready. This is not a passive support role; as a Facility Management / Real Estate Intern, you will support with core deliverables and make a real difference in growing Tesla's European footprint.
Here at Tesla our internship programs are built on a simple belief: the best talent should not have to wait to do meaningful work. We place exceptional students in roles where they contribute to real outcomes - working side-by-side with dedicated managers, mentors, and cross-functional teams to accelerate their growth both technically and personally. From day one, you will not be watching from the sidelines. You will support with owning projects, driving decisions, and making a visible impact.

Structure Portfolio Audit: Help finalize a comprehensive audit in collaboration with the Facility Management team. Prepare a ranking of locations and build a clear, actionable dashboard for review with all relevant stakeholders.

Problem Solve: Support the team in tackling ad-hoc infrastructure and facility challenges head-on, solving local operational problems with resourcefulness and speed.
