Civil Engineer jobs in Belgium

FAQs

Do I need pharmaceutical experience?

Usually not. It depends on the project. Plenty of the work is straightforward civil engineering, and experience from food or another industry is just as valuable.

What is different from civil engineering elsewhere?

Stricter regulation and a lot more documentation. That asks for a certain kind of person, with the patience to prove every step, not only to build it.

When does cleanroom experience matter?

On cleanroom projects it is often required. Outside the regulated zone, for example a new hall, it makes no difference.

Can I also work on Engineering projects?

Yes. The same role exists in our Engineering competence center, in other industries. The vacancies are separate, so check both if you are open to either.

The same work outside pharma

Not every project runs on a pharmaceutical site. Our Engineering colleagues place the same profiles in infrastructure, industry and energy. Follow the link to see what is open there.
