Internship - Industrial Procurement-Manufacturing

At SABIC, we’re focused on one purpose: Chemistry that Matters™ 

For us, chemistry is more than applying science and technology to enhance our supply of essential materials to the world. 

Chemistry is also how we interact with our customers, with each other, and in our communities. Because we believe that what matters is making a meaningful and lasting impact through the work we do. 

In Cartagena, Spain, SABIC operates a major production site that manufactures engineering thermoplastics that enable our customers to product a wide range of products.
