**Making your application count**

The posting directs you to an online application page (https://noemdek.hrpartner.io/jobs/operations-intern---bidding-and-sourcing--energy--lg5pk) — follow the “Click here to apply online” link and complete the application there. The posting asks for: Online application. The vacancy was posted on 1 September 2026 and the stated application closing date is 30 September 2026. Apply early rather than waiting for the final day — many Nigerian recruiters begin shortlisting before the official close. The posting does not state a salary figure, so compensation would be clarified at interview or offer stage.

The role is full-time (internship) at Lagos, Lagos. If you do not already live close by, be realistic about the commute — employers in this market routinely prefer candidates who can resume quickly and get to work reliably.

Line your CV up against the requirements the employer printed: Bachelor’s Degree or HND in Business Administration, Economics, Marketing, Supply Chain Management or a related field; 0 – 1 year of experience in bidding and sourcing activities; Excellent analytical and research skills. For each one show concrete evidence — a certificate, a specific task, or a result — rather than a bare claim. Name the exact tools and skills the posting mentions (Sourcing, Supplier relations, Bidding & tenders, Market research, MS Excel, PowerPoint) wherever you genuinely have them.

**What the day-to-day looks like**

In practice, here is what the day-to-day is likely to feel like in this role: You sit between suppliers and the bidding team — accurate sourcing data feeds winning tenders. Supplier negotiation is learned on the job: pricing, terms and reliability all matter. Tender documents demand precision — a small error can disqualify a bid. Market research keeps the company aware of competitors and new clients. This is a learning placement: ask questions, take notes and volunteer for tasks. Beyond that, the pace depends on your team and the season of the business — month-end for accounts, festive periods for retail, admission periods for schools, and project milestones for construction and engineering — when priorities shift quickly.

**What happens after you apply**

Shortlisted candidates are contacted directly. Keep your phone reachable and check your email — including spam — regularly. Prepare for an interview by re-reading the posting and having concrete examples ready for the key requirements. If you have not heard anything within about two weeks after the closing date, a single polite follow-up on the same channel is reasonable.

**A note on safety**

Legitimate employers do not charge applicants. Be wary of anyone who asks you to pay for “registration”, “verification” or “training” before you have a signed offer — a classic scam pattern in the Nigerian job market. Verify the employer through its official website and known contact lines, and never share your banking PIN, card details or OTP with anyone claiming to be a recruiter.
