people & culture
Aalberts is built on entrepreneurship
We believe the more space people are given, the greater their chance of finding brilliant solutions for our customers. That is why we encourage everyone to take ownership, think independently yet work as one team.
You are in charge today of what happens tomorrow. For yourself, for the company, and for our planet.
the Aalberts way
‘the Aalberts way’ reflects the DNA of our company, it is what we stand for and what we practice and deliver every day. It is the common language in our organisation. It has been our strength since day one. It is the foundation for an even greater future that will lead to new growth paths. And it provides us with a focus when we review, recruit, coach and develop our talents.
We believe that long-term value creation can only be achieved by maintaining a company culture that embraces transparency and trust. We stimulate and protect a culture where people feel the need – and feel safe – to speak up and act with integrity. For us, this is real governance.

development opportunities
learn from the best
We offer the “Aalberts People Empowerment” program – a one-year, modular leadership development program that builds progressively. It is designed for three different target groups at various stages of their careers and provides them with the opportunity to expand their personal leadership skills. Participants can connect with like-minded colleagues from different locations within Aalberts surface technologies, build internal networks, share experiences, and learn from each other.
trainees
If you’ve just finished your master’s degree and want to hit the road running, our international trainee program may well be just the thing you are looking for.
Over a period of 18 months we send our trainees on six three-month rotations working at an Aalberts surface technologies site. At least two of the rotations will be abroad and one in a different Aalberts segment.
We offer the trainee program for engineers, management and finance graduates.
At the end of the program, you will have a solid understanding of our business and have built your own international network. Our goal is to find a position within the company that perfectly matches your talents and skills.
