Company description

Bij SGS kan je kiezen. Allereerst uit onze verschillende vacatures. Maar je hebt bij SGS nog een andere keuze.  Kies je voor verdiepen of kies je voor verrijken? We zijn niet alleen op zoek naar collega’s die de diepte van hun vakgebied ingaan. We zijn net zo hard op zoek naar verbinders, collega’s die onze indrukwekkende diversiteit aan diensten kunnen koppelen. Aan elkaar. En daarmee onze dienstverlening verrijken. 

SGS is wereldleider als het gaat om inspectie, controle, analyse en certificering. We zijn zelfs de wereldwijde benchmark voor kwaliteit en integriteit.  Daar zijn we waanzinnig trots op. Net als op onze bijna 100.000 collega’s die onze klanten bijstaan wereldwijd, of wat dacht je van onze meer dan 1650 medewerkers alleen al in België?  Verdeeld over expertises, branches en culturen heen, geven onze medewerkers dagelijks 110% van zichzelf. Onze medewerkers bouwen aan hun eigen weg binnen de dienstverlening en expertise.

SGS heeft een indrukwekkende diversiteit aan diensten. Een van onze divisies, Oil, Gas & Chemicals, is gespecialiseerd in de inspectie en kwaliteitscontrole van chemicaliën, vloeibare gassen en petroleumproducten. Ter versterking van de afdeling zijn we in Antwerpen op zoek naar gemotiveerde staalnemers (vroege/late).

 

Job description

The sample taker is an important link in the inspection process of chemical substances entering or being produced in the port of Antwerp. You will be responsible for the supervision of unloading and loading operations of chemicals, petroleum products and liquid gases at refineries, chemical plants and storage terminals.

A selection from your duties:

A truck, rail car, land tank or ship, any place where chemicals are stored will become your job site. You like to be on the road and you know perfectly how to map out your routes in the port of Antwerp.

Your main assignment is to take samples from trucks, drums and land tanks. You always do this with all safety provisions and procedures in mind.

Sometimes you can already perform a number of tests yourself. For more detailed analyzes, a team of specialized laboratory technicians is available to carry out quality control. 

Finally, you will report your own results and findings in our system.

Despite the fact that we work with a schedule, unexpected and urgent assignments can always come out of the blue. You are flexible enough to adapt to these changes and perform overtime if necessary. Of course you can compensate these hours at a later time.

Job requirements

Taking a representative sample is more difficult than you think. That is why you will first go through a training period to learn all the tricks of the trade.

You have preferably followed a chemical or technical training so that you already know a little about which products you will be working with. Relevant work experience is of course a big plus. Safety and accuracy are of paramount importance.

You like to work outside and a little rain, wind or snow will not stop you from doing a good job. Climbing stairs in the blazing sun in a safety suit and with respiratory protection on the back are also not a problem.

Independence, flexibility, responsibility, accuracy, work ethic and a sense of humor are your main assets. You also have a healthy dose of assertiveness.

Besides a good knowledge of Dutch, you speak fluent English. Knowledge of French is a great asset.

You have a valid driver's license and enjoy driving around the port of Antwerp.
