Our Engineering Departments

Our colleagues find the right balance between efficiency and creativity every day. In fact, we regard this skill as one of the most important attributes in engineers who want to work with us. It is a quality that enables you to not just make things happen, but to identify possibilities within challenges.

At Covestro, “engineering” has a hand in a variety of topics from upgrading controls and data acquisition systems to replacing analyzer systems at existing facilities. You can support the strategy team by evaluating new technologies and assessing the economic cost of various alternatives, or you could be setting up a digital twin for the asset lifecycle of our production plants.

For us, engineering is about ensuring the highest levels of safety, sustainability, reliability, and profit.

If we want to change a whole industry and make the world a brighter place, we will have to stick to our goals – becoming fully circular and striving for climate neutrality in the upcoming years.

For this, we need committed engineers – students, graduates, and experts – who can see themselves putting their minds and initiative into projects that push boundaries. As a mechanic, a maintenance manager, an Instrumentation & Electrical project lead, as someone working in a digital or cost engineering team – your role will always be focused on setting new standards for a more sustainable outcome.

We are constantly evolving, and continuing to transform is both our responsibility and our promise to stakeholders. At Covestro, we welcome professionals who are ready to build their careers and grow in their personal development.

To push us forward in fields such as process engineering, automation technology, production engineering, and chemical engineering, we are looking for individuals who think beyond their job titles, have extraordinary ideas, and show the ambition to thrive and grow.
