Launch Your Career Where It Matters Most
What if your internship could directly contribute to protecting lives — not just in the lab, but on the ground, every single day? At Sanofi, we believe that safety and sustainability aren't just compliance checkboxes — they are the foundation of everything we do. As our next HSE Intern, you won't be fetching coffee or sitting on the sidelines. You'll be embedded in a high-performing team, tackling real challenges, and leaving a measurable impact on our operations.
This is your opportunity to step into the pharmaceutical industry with purpose, build expertise that sets you apart, and work alongside professionals who are passionate about making the world a safer, cleaner place.
Why This Internship Is Different
Most internships give you a glimpse. This one gives you the full picture.
You'll gain hands-on exposure across four dynamic functional areas that form the backbone of world-class HSE operations:
- 🔧 HSE Fieldwork — Get out of the classroom and into the field. Experience both field safety and process safety in a live operational environment, seeing firsthand how safety principles protect people and processes at scale.
- 📋 HSE Compliance — Discover how critical documentation drives compliance, accountability, and continuous improvement across a global pharmaceutical operation.
- 🌍 Corporate Sustainability Reporting — Contribute to Sanofi's environmental mission by working on real sustainability metrics — waste, energy, water, and cooling — that feed directly into corporate-level decision-making.
- 🎓 Training & Development Programs — Help design and deliver in-house HSE training, create safety induction video, shaping the safety culture of an entire site.
Your Mission: Real Responsibilities, Real Impact
You won't be handed a theoretical project and left alone. You'll be an active contributor to initiatives that keep our people safe and our operations sustainable. Here's what you'll own:
⚙️ Operations & Engineering

📊 Environmental Reporting
- Produce reports on waste, energy, water, and cooling — ensuring our operations remain fully compliant with environmental standards and your numbers will inform decisions at the highest levels of the organization
🛡️ Safety Initiatives
- Support field safety and process safety initiatives that protect every person who walks through our doors
- Create safety induction video with the 10 life-saving rules
- Lead or contribute to at least one impactful HSE improvement project, complete with your own documented findings and recommendations — a portfolio piece you'll be proud to show future employers
📁 Compliance & Documentation
- Perform gap assessments for revised Sanofi standards and ISO14001:2026 to ensure documents are current, accurate, and audit-ready, playing a direct role in keeping the site compliant with regulatory standards
- Prepare documentation that stands up to the scrutiny of formal audits and inspections
🎤 Training & Culture
- Help organize and execute HSE training sessions, Safety Campaigns for staff across the site, contributing to a culture where safety knowledge is shared, documented, and continuously improved
