Working opportunities

Within the Management Traineeship at Eurofins there are many different projects that you can occupy yourself with. Immediately you’ll get a lot of responsibilities, with an accompanying salary. An example of such a project is contributing to the implementation of a new LIMS (Lab Inventory Management System) as a sort of junior project manager. During this you’re directly in touch with a lot of the different departments: ranging from sales, customer support and IT, to the lab, logistics and quality assurance.

After such a project you will be able to follow this up with a new project in another department, like Finance, Lean (process optimization) or Business Development. Whether you like to stay in the same location or move to one of the other locations in that division for the next project is completely up to your own interest.

In 2 years of the traineeships you’ll get plenty of opportunity to develop your own abilities, not just through four of these projects but also with different trainings and workshops that are offered to you together with the other trainees. After the traineeship there is ample opportunity to grow towards a management function within the company. This will happen in consultation with your Managing Director to find overlap between your desires and the positions that can be filled or created. It’s not required to have a particular background in life sciences or a quantitative study, although a life science background might help you in the first months to understand the labs and their language a bit quicker.
