<div class="content-intro">ABOUT ROCKET LAB Rocket Lab is the end-to-end space company building rockets, spacecraft, and critical subsystems that keep the world connected, protected, expand humanity’s reach to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. We move fast, build real hardware for meaningful missions, and make the impossible routine. Come shape the future with us.</div>Rocket Lab is a global leader in launch and space systems. We're opening access to space to improve life on Earth through our Electron rocket and Neutron launch vehicle programmes, alongside our space systems business. From pioneering carbon composite rocket technology to delivering reliable and rapid launch services, we're pushing the boundaries of what's possible in aerospace.  ABOUT THE ROLE  We're looking for a motivated intern to join our Supply Chain team at our Auckland Production Complex. As an Inventory Specialist Intern, you will play a key role in analysing and optimising the storage efficiency of our multiple warehouse locations by calculating and measuring the ratio of parts to locations.  This ratio will help identify areas of saturation where parts are densely stored, making it difficult for team members to locate items quickly and efficiently. By identifying these bottlenecks, you will enable us to implement systematic and physical improvements to our warehouse organisation, ultimately improving operational efficiency and reducing retrieval times.  During your internship, you will collect and analyse data, create visualisations to highlight problem areas, and propose actionable recommendations for improving storage layouts and part-to-location ratios. This project offers you the opportunity to apply your analytical and problem-solving skills in a real-world logistics and operations environment supporting rocket production.  This is an opportunity to work on real operational challenges and contribute to missions that are literally reaching for the stars.  WHAT YOU WILL DO  Data Collection & Analysis:  <ul> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="20" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559683":0,"335559684":-2,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="1" data-aria-level="1">Collect data on parts and locations across multiple warehouse facilities </li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="20" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559683":0,"335559684":-2,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="2" data-aria-level="1">Calculate and analyse the current part-to-location ratios for each warehouse </li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="20" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559683":0,"335559684":-2,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="3" data-aria-level="1">Identify trends, patterns, and areas of saturation that hinder efficient part identification and retrieval </li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="20" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559683":0,"335559684":-2,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="4" data-aria-level="1">Document findings and data quality observations </li> </ul> Visualisation & Communication:  <ul> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="19" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559683":0,"335559684":-2,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="1" data-aria-level="1">Develop visual tools (e.g., heatmaps, dashboards) to represent the saturation levels across different warehouse locations </li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="19" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559683":0,"335559684":-2,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="2" data-aria-level="1">Create clear and compelling data visualisations to communicate findings to stakeholders </li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="19" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559683":0,"335559684":-2,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="3" data-aria-level="1">Collaborate with warehouse staff to validate findings and gather operational feedback </li> </ul> Solution Development:  <ul> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="18" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559683":0,"335559684":-2,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="1" data-aria-level="1">Propose systematic and physical improvements to optimise storage and reduce saturation </li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="18" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559683":0,"335559684":-2,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="2" data-aria-level="1">Create a prioritised action plan for implementation </li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="18" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559683":0,"335559684":-2,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226"
