Introduction
ING Wholesale Banking is offering an internship within its Hydrocarbons & New Energies (H&NE) Technical Team in Amsterdam. This is a unique opportunity for an engineering student to gain hands-on experience in the technical assessment of energy financing transactions, supporting both conventional energy and emerging energy transition technologies while working alongside experienced engineers and bankers on live deals.

The team
The Energy sector is a key pillar of ING Wholesale Banking, where ING maintains a long-term strategic focus and holds a global leading position in Structured Energy Financing. Within this sector, the Hydrocarbons and New Energies (H&NE) team focuses exclusively on (i) fossil Hydrocarbons financing - such as Reserves Based Lending - and (ii) emerging new energy technologies (i.e. bio-fuels and gases, including HVO and Sustainable Aviation Fuel, Carbon Capture, Utilization and Sequestration, Hydrogen and e-Fuels), reflecting ING’s commitment to supporting the energy transition.

The ING H&NE Technical Team plays a strategic role by assessing technical risks, exploring mitigation strategies and, where possible, integrating them into the lending agreement. The team also prepares internal and external technical memorandums to support the credit decision making and syndication processes and advises on project bankability. Their deep sector expertise and global experience help build client trust, positioning ING as a value-added partner beyond financial solutions.
