Recruitment process
If you want to apply, just apply for the post which best suits your profile and send us your application via e-mail. Make sure that you respect this procedure and take note of the appropriate address in order to guarantee that your application is considered.
Certain recruitments require detailed analysis, considering the many applications received: if you do not hear from us, consider your application as still being under review.
 

After employment
Whatever your particular situation, meetings are organised within your first three months.  to quickly familiarise yourself with all the procedures and necessary tools required in your day-to-day job.  You will find all this useful information on our intranet site. The company guided tour allows you to discover the Saint-Gobain group and the different departments of Saint-Gobain Recherche.

An interview with the Managing Director and the Corporate Secretary is also organised following your trial period. This allows us to review your progress together with you and to hear your thoughts and impressions, which help us to continually improve.

Practical questions
