Commercial awareness Contract writing Communication skills (written and verbal) Contract management Building working relationships with colleagues and customers Problem solving Negotiation skills

Given a wide array of responsibilities including communicating with the high profile customer, writing and signing off contracts, developing policy resources, and leading on projects from a commercial perspective.

I received a good amount of support from the team, covering both the technical aspects of the job as well as help getting acquainted with the business structure. Opportunity to have catch-ups with managers.

Work life balance is great, it is unusual to have to work beyond your contracted hours. Very sociable and friendly office where lunch and breaks are encouraged. Team days are common in order to strengthen the team relationship and meet new people in the business.

I really enjoy my internship, as it has provided me with a year-long insight into the company and how it functions on a day-to-day basis. It has allowed me to build skills and connections that wouldn't usually be possible at this point in a career.

Develop your written and verbal communication skills, as its very important when working with customers. Try to gain an insight into the different areas that Boeing operate in, who they work with, what they supply. Definitely determine the 'why' in why you want to work for them.
