One-year paid internship supporting DHL’s maritime transport activities in Barcelona. Typical requirements include current university or vocational studies in logistics, transport, international trade, business, or a related field; good organizational and communication skills; attention to detail; and a willingness to learn. Spanish and English are likely expected, while additional languages may be advantageous. The candidate should be comfortable working with shipment documentation, coordinating with carriers and customers, updating transport systems, monitoring schedules, and helping resolve operational issues. A proactive attitude, teamwork, reliability, and basic competence with Microsoft Office are important. Previous experience in freight forwarding or shipping is helpful but generally not essential for a trainee position.

Spain’s main island destinations include the Balearic Islands—Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza, and Formentera—and the Canary Islands, including Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, and Fuerteventura. Job opportunities are strongest in tourism, hospitality, retail, transport, port operations, aviation, warehousing, customer service, and renewable energy. Spanish is important, while English and German are valuable in tourist areas. Island life offers a relaxed pace, outdoor activities, beaches, and strong local traditions, although housing can be expensive and seasonal employment is common. EU and EEA citizens can live and work in Spain after registering locally. Non-EU nationals generally need a work permit, residence authorization, or an approved study or internship arrangement before starting. Relocation planning should include accommodation, transport, healthcare registration, tax procedures, and proof of financial means. Barcelona is on the mainland, but it provides strong ferry, port, and logistics connections to Spain’s islands.
