Leading research and development

Our R&D department in Olen is one of Umicore’s largest globally. From Olen we are responsible for innovative research methods as well as competency analysis, global scouting and maintaining relationships with universities and other research centers. We lead the way in recycling, extraction and fine-particle research. You can also dive into technical innovation at our other Belgian locations, where you are certain to find challenges that keep you at the top of your game.

Streamlined working atmosphere

Our culture is a direct reflection of how we work. While every site is supported by the strength and stability of the global Umicore Group, our day-to-day atmosphere remains collaborative and agile. We keep communication lines short and maintain a big-picture perspective, empowering you to work with a practical, results-driven mindset. With an open-door policy and accessible management, we make decisions collectively and move quickly. This means that you will see the positive impact of your work much sooner. 

I like working for an international company that at the same time is firmly rooted in Belgium.
