IGW DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FOR YOUNG ENGINEERS

Together with 3 other young engineers, you will start the program. The four of you will be introduced within the organization during a common week in Belgium. You will learn more about our way of working within several departments and on the shop floor itself of course. This will give you a head start for the rest of the program. 

After this introduction, some longer periods of working abroad are planned (e.g. India, Romania, Belgium). You will learn on the fly and by doing. Especially by working together with several teams in several countries with several types of technologies. In each country, we will challenge the four of you with all the necessary support you need. A personal mentor will always be there for you.

CURIOUS ABOUT HOW OUR CURRENT YOUNG ENGINEERS EXPERIENCE WORKING AT IGW?

  • Meet Bart & Maneesh during their assignment in Romania!

    They started working at IGW in June 2022. During the first seven months of their job they learned to know the local plant where they were hired. In their case it’s IGW India and IGW Belgium. After that period, they already left on their first international assignment in Iasi, Romania concerning heat treatment deformations & milling machine efficencies. This assignment has a duration of three months. Time enough to learn about the local plant, the team, culture and country.

  • The assignment itself:

    Kicked off with a Six Sigma Green Belt Project Training. What they really like so far about the project is the freedom they get, but in a guided way by their mentors. The project is really hands-on, they spend most of my day on the shopfloor taking measurements, analyzing processes, and talking with operators and team leaders. The great thing about this is, that the operators are really supportive and open to new improvements and ideas.

  • Learning to know colleagues, the country, and each other

    The advantage of an international assignment is of course the perfect opportunity to discover new cultures. Bart & Maneesh visited the beautiful mountain area West of Iasi. They cooked for each other some typical Indian and Belgian food. And every evening they get the chance to visit Iasi, a great vibrant city with lots of things to fill the evening with.

    • Great restaurants,
    • Cinemas,
    • Bowling,…

"What I really like so far about the project is the freedom I get, I get a lot of responsibility to achieve the goal but I am guided in a very good way by my mentors."
