Digital & Technology Project Intern

Digital & Technology Project Intern

12-week internship | January 2027 start

Every day, millions of people rely on transport to access the people, places and opportunities that matter most. At Arriva, we are helping to shape the future of passenger transport and investing in the people who can help us keep moving forward.

We are one of Europe’s leading passenger transport partners, operating across 11 countries, with around 35,000 colleagues supporting more than 1.5 billion passenger journeys each year.

If you’re curious about digital technology, project management or business change and want the opportunity to work on a real project and make a meaningful contribution, this internship could be for you.

The Internship Opportunity

This 12-week internship is an opportunity to get involved in a Digital & Technology project and gain practical experience of how projects and change are delivered within a large organisation.

Working alongside colleagues across Digital & Technology and the wider business, you’ll work on a defined project focused on improving how project teams collaborate, manage activity and provide visibility of project progress.

Over the 12 weeks, you could be:

• Helping to design and develop a structured approach to managing projects within a digital platform.
• Supporting the development of project milestones, governance and ways of tracking progress.
• Working with different teams to understand their needs and translate these into practical solutions.
• Helping to bring existing project information into the new approach.
• Using digital tools to organise information, track progress and support delivery.
• Communicating updates and ideas to different stakeholders.
• Taking ownership of a piece of work and seeing it through.

You’ll have support along the way, while also having the opportunity to take responsibility, learn through doing and make a genuine contribution.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who is curious, motivated to learn and ready to get involved.

You’ll enjoy solving problems, exploring new ideas and working with different people. You’ll bring a positive approach, communicate clearly and be willing to take ownership, while knowing when to ask questions and seek support.

You don’t need to be studying a technology-related subject. What matters most is your curiosity, willingness to learn and enthusiasm for taking on a new challenge.

What You’ll Gain

Over the 12 weeks, you’ll have the opportunity to develop your project, problem-solving and communication skills, build confidence working with different stakeholders and gain experience of taking a piece of work forward.

You’ll learn from experienced colleagues across the business, gain insight into careers within Digital & Technology and see the contribution your work makes, while building experience and skills you can take into your future career.
