Project Engineer Machine Building & Testing

Department Info

Terumo is a manufacturer of medical devices. In Leuven, Terumo produces  around 800 million injection needles, injection solutions, catheters and necessary accessories per year. On the one hand we develop and produce products for hospitals, on the other hand we produce specifically developed products according to the needs, demands and medicines of our pharma customers. To make this far-reaching personalization possible, investments were made in flexible machinery with a high degree of automation. With great pride we recently obtained the award of Factory  of the Future, which testifies to a progressive production technology and a people-oriented organization.

Our strong performance was recently rewarded once again with the arrival of a large pharmaceutical company for which we will produce specifically developed products. To this end, we will create additional production capacity, with a new machine park that combines automation with extensive data capture.

To help ensure the start-up of this new production unit on the right track, we are looking to expand our engineering and maintenance team.
