A Start into a Sustainable Future

Whether as a chemical laboratory technician, chemical technician, industrial clerk, or warehouse logistics specialist—Umicore offers a wide range of opportunities to launch your career. Those who wish to combine an apprenticeship with a degree program can apply for the Bachelor of Science in Applied Computer Science (B.Sc.) program at the company.

Applications are submitted online via the career page (www.umicore.de/karriere), where all open apprenticeship positions are listed and you can upload your complete application materials (cover letter, resume, your last two school transcripts, internship certificates, other certificates, etc.). The application process has been adapted to current conditions and takes place largely online. It’s best to apply as early as possible, because the competition is fierce and the first recruitment tests are already taking place in June.
