Working in Belgium

The Total Group in Belgium employs some 4,700 people primarily in refining, petrochemicals, and research, at the major Antwerp and Feluy sites, as well as in chemicals sales, petroleum marketing, and central services - finance, legal, IT, human resources and technical support – at its Brussels headquarters.

Whilst Total promotes the recruitment of local talent wherever it operates, the Group also seeks diversity in terms of desagragation of teams, as well as employee nationality, country of origin and training, and generally draws up its recruitment policy in a long-term perspective based on mobility. Accordingly, and through the diversity of profiles and skills sought for the activities it offers, Belgium offers an excellent launch pad for young people attracted to an international career within the Group, offering functional and geographic mobility and opportunities for change. With its privileged location at the heart of Europe, it also allows employees to foster and develop, for the benefit of the Group, the characteristics of multilingualism and multiculturalism generally associated with its organisation. Professional skills, a desire to work within a team, curiosity and creativity, a talent for initiative and decision making, a flair for communication and innovation, and an open attitude to change are the main qualities which enable young people recruited into the Group to anchor their personal and professional path within a progress and development outlook.
