Environment Operations Intern

Summary

At Apple, we design our products to be less carbon intensive by prioritizing the use of recycled and renewable content. In 2025, 30 percent of all materials shipped in our products, by weight, came from recycled or renewable sources. Within Environment, Social & Community Innovation (ESCI), the Recycled Content Claims team supports this mission by managing end-to-end supply chain traceability, reviewing thousands of material records each year, and verifying environmental claims across products. As we continue to expand recycled material usage across product lines, we are adding new traceability and data features into our internal engineering platform. We are looking for an organized, motivated intern to help gather requirements, test new features, and support pilot builds.

Minimum Qualifications

Master’s degree student in Operations Research, Data Science, Industrial Engineering, Supply Chain Management, Information Systems, or related quantitative disciplines. Solid foundation in data analysis, quantitative modeling, or system logic (experience with Python, SQL, Power BI, or advanced Excel modeling is a plus). Available to join internship for 3 months full-time. Excellent communication skills, both verbally and written, in English and Mandarin.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience in multi-tasking and project management. Passion for recycled materials, supply chain traceability or environmental data. Analytical with a keen ability to distill down complicated data and processes. Can relay detailed processes into clear messaging for internal partners.

Description

You will help roll out and test new Recycled Content (RC) tracking features inside our engineering platform. In this role, you will map how material certs and supply chain data move across teams, turn operational needs into clear system requirements, and help run pilot workflows. • Requirements: Work with internal teams to map current workflows and define needed system features. • Feature Testing: Partner with the system team to translate user needs into practical features and track setup progress. • Pilot Workflows: Help plan and run pilot workflows on target modules to ensure the process runs smoothly. • User Feedback: Track how teams interact with the new features during builds and gather feedback to improve the platform.
