At Destinus, we are building the future of aerospace and redefining how people work in highly innovative, fast-growing environments. We design and develop next‑generation Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) that support mission‑critical operations for government and defense partners worldwide.

Just as our engineering teams push technological boundaries, our People and HR teams build scalable, efficient, and compliant processes that enable high performance across a growing international organization.

The Role

As an HR Operations Intern, you will play a hands‑on role in supporting and improving the core people operations that keep the company running smoothly. This internship is ideal for someone who is detail‑oriented, proactive, and eager to understand how HR works in practice within a fast‑paced, international, high‑tech environment.

You will be collaborating on the employee lifecycle, working closely with HR, Finance, and Operations, and contributing to real processes that scale with the company.

What you'll do

  • Support day‑to‑day HR operations, including recruitment coordination, onboarding, and administrative HR tasks
  • Assist in maintaining accurate and compliant employee records, contracts, and HR documentation
  • Act as a point of coordination between HR, Finance, and Operations to ensure smooth information flow
  • Support onboarding logistics, including data entry in HR systems / ERP tools (e.g. HiBob) and coordination of IT equipment requests
  • Ensure HR policies, procedures, and internal documentation are kept up to date in line with legal and company requirements

What You’ll Need

  • Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or master’s degree in human resources, Business Administration, Psychology, or a related field
  • Ability to sign a 3-month internship agreement with a school or university (essential)
  • Strong organizational and time‑management skills, with the ability to handle multiple priorities
  • High attention to detail, especially when working with employee data, contracts, and documentation
  • Clear and professional communication skills, comfortable working with international stakeholders
  • Strong proficiency in MS Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint); confidence working with spreadsheets and reports
  • A proactive, solution‑oriented mindset and willingness to take ownership of tasks
  • Fluency in English as it’s our working language (written and spoken)

Who You Are

You’re looking for more than a CV‑boosting internship. You’re curious about how HR really works, motivated by structure and process, and eager to learn by doing. You’re organized, reliable, and comfortable working in an environment where priorities can evolve quickly. You enjoy improving how things work and take pride in accuracy, follow‑through, and reliability.
