Work at Veolia means making a commitment to sustainable management of resources. Ours mission is to promote access to essential resources for quality of life – water, energy, raw materials – and at the same time contribute to their preservation and enhancement, with a view to sustainable development.
What do we offer to candidates?
At Veolia, we want to see the world as it should be (and not just as it is!). We are Optimists. We never give up. And we move forward together. In an international environment, constant personal and professional growth and where diversity is celebrated.
What do our employees say?
Working at Veolia has been a unique experience, a project that has evolved into a journey that has lasted almost 15 years. I started this journey in England and, through the internal mobility program, I was able to return to Portugal and continue the company's transformation project. The motivation comes from creating and innovating for the benefit of the environment, which is what inspires us every day.
