The role
This role is an opportunity to work on complex industrial projects, combining real estate, energy, automation, safety, and logistics operations in an international environment.
Within the framework of the development and modernization of STEF Group's cold storage logistics platforms in Spain and Portugal, you will act as the project owner's representative on highly technical industrial real estate projects. Cold storage warehouses are critical facilities whose electrical performance directly impacts the continuity of the cold chain, food safety, and the operational availability of the sites.
IMMOSTEF Spain is looking for a young electrical or industrial engineer (M/F) with initial experience in construction projects or site supervision in an industrial environment. Experience gained through a work-study program or a long-term internship will be particularly valued. You are seeking a role in an international context and are able to work in both French and Spanish. Proficiency in both languages is essential to interact with teams, partners, and service providers in Spain, Portugal, and within the STEF Group.
Curious, rigorous, and with strong interpersonal skills, you want to develop your expertise in technical project management and industrial real estate operations.
This position is offered as part of an International Corporate Volunteer Program (VIE) based in Madrid. It is a unique opportunity to work on strategic projects for the development of cold storage logistics platforms in Spain and Portugal.
Beyond the VIE assignment, this role offers long-term prospects: depending on the organization's needs and the candidate's performance, a permanent integration opportunity within IMMOSTEF or the STEF Group may be considered at the end of the assignment.

- Verifying the proper installation of electrical equipment, backup systems, and safety infrastructure.
- Supporting the testing, commissioning, and handover phases of the installations.
- Managing or supervising the electrical installations powering refrigeration equipment.
- Monitoring fire detection, automatic suppression, access control, and video surveillance systems.
- Participating in defining power continuity solutions.
- Ensuring the reliability of critical infrastructure for the operation of temperature-controlled warehouses.
- Contributing to improving the energy efficiency of sites, a major challenge for cold storage buildings with particularly high electrical consumption.
- Participating in integrating innovative solutions to reduce the environmental footprint of the platforms.
- Supporting the deployment of projects incorporating high-performance equipment.
- Working on projects located in Spain and Portugal, in coordination with local operations teams, technical partners, and external service providers.
