Steel production has never stopped evolving. In our company as well, technological progress is crucial. On demand of and in cooperation with our customers, we are constantly looking for new steel solutions and trying to optimise product quality. For this purpose, we do not only rely on the competences of our own research centres, but also work closely together with universities and other academic institutions.

Stable employer

Thanks to our long-term efforts to invest and innovate, ArcelorMittal Gent has become one of the most efficient steelmaking companies in the world in 45 years’ time and has become a highly reliable employer. With approximately 5,000 employees and an average 250 new recruitments per year, we are the largest private employer in the province of East-Flanders.



Great support

When you start off at our company, we do our utmost to make your integration process easier on you. That is why every new recruit is appointed a buddy – whether you start working in a production department or in a supporting service. This buddy is a more experienced colleague who shows you around in your first year on the job, points out to you the importance of safe behaviour and makes sure you feel at home in our organisation. Besides a personal coach, you are also given basic training to learn more about the company. After this, an in-depth training will focus on your specific job and department.



Commitment

As an employer, we find it important that all our employees feel involved in our company activities. That is why at ArcelorMittal Gent we use the TPM method (Total Productive Management). With this management technique we try to involve every member of staff as much as possible in the optimisation of our product and process quality. Continuous improvement is everyone’s responsibility, irrespective of individual positions or departments. This working method does not only increase commitment, but makes people feel proud about themselves when their ideas for improvement have been put into practice. Moreover, departments performing exceedingly well are presented with TPM awards.

However, involvement is stimulated in other ways as well. In order to maintain a positive atmosphere among our employees, every two years we organise a major celebration called Feestmar. All personnel members and retired employees are invited, together with their families. The last edition welcomed nearly 13,000 participants. Those looking for recreational activities within the company can find it in the Friends´ Circle association which, besides sports and cultural events, also organises weekends, trips and even the annual St Nicholas Party. Each month our company magazine describes what is happening on the work floor. For many people, a high point is the annual decoration celebration in the Congress Centre in Ghent, where distinctions for work performance are awarded. Each year around 1,600 people take part in the celebration, which in the meantime has earned a permanent place on our calendar.



Great pay

Let us not forget this one little detail: the financial aspect. In this area, our company is one of the top companies in Flanders: besides competitive monthly/hourly wages, you are offered other benefits:

  • comprehensive institutionalisation insurance (at DKV)
  • group insurance (both in case of decease or invalidity and in case of retirement)
