Rotterdam
Full Time
Posted on: August 4 2026

You want more than a pay check.

You want purpose, responsibility, and a career that matters and aligns with your values.

At Control Union, we support global trade by providing inspection, testing, certification, and verifications services. Our work helps businesses meet quality, safety, sustainability, and compliance standards across complex global supply chains.

Sustainability isn’t a buzzword here– it’s embedded in how we operate, decide, and lead.

The Development Program

Structured. 18 months. Global. Impact-driven.

This program combines:

  • Real business exposure across PCU’s global operations
  • Cross-regional collaboration on live organisational challenges
  • Mentorship from experienced professionals
  • Structured learning and applied development
  • A strong focus on ethics, sustainability, and accountability

You’ll complete the program as a trusted professional, ready for broader responsibility, stretch roles, or specialist pathways aligned with business needs.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

  • Gain hands-on experience across global business areas such as inspection, operations, quality, sustainability, and commercial functions
  • Support day-to-day operational and project activities
  • Contribute to cross-regional initiatives that improve how we work
  • Build a strong understanding of PCU’s services, standards, and values
  • Actively contribute to continuous improvement and responsible business practices

THIS IS FOR YOU IF YOU…

  • Take ownership and accountability for your work
  • Act with integrity and sound judgement
  • Are comfortable with complexity and ambiguity
  • Learn quickly and apply feedback
  • Think beyond your role or discipline
  • Care about sustainability and ethical decision-making

WHAT YOU’LL DEVELOP

  • Leadership through influence and ownership
  • Ethical, values-driven decision-making
  • Commercial and strategic thinking
  • Cross-cultural collaboration skills
  • Learning agility, resilience, and adaptability
  • Professional credibility and presence

WHO CAN APPLY

  • Recent graduates or early-career professionals (0–3 years’ experience)
  • Degree in business, sustainability, agriculture, engineering, science, data, or related fields
  • Fluent in English (additional languages an advantage)
  • Willingness to work in a global, international environment

HOW TO APPLY

We believe in selecting for potential, behaviour and values- not just credentials.

Please submit your CV and a short motivational video of 3 minutes explaining why you would like to join and what you hope to gain from the Development Program.
