Hi Elise, can you tell us how you ended up at Aurubis Beerse?
In secondary school, I studied science mathematics. My interest in chemistry led me to study industrial engineering in chemistry. HR Beerse saw my profile and contacted me on LinkedIn. It seemed like an interesting profile with a lot of research and a varied range of tasks. During my application, I spoke to my supervisor for the first time. That conversation had further sparked my interest in Aurubis. -
How did you experience the transition from student to working at Aurubis?
The first day I met my team and got to know my job responsibilities. Then I received training from my colleagues and attended an external course on pyrometallurgy. Moreover, I was given an extensive tour of the different departments. Thanks to the good supervision, the transition from studying to working was quick and smooth.

What projects are you responsible for?
I completed my very first project, which gave me that initial satisfaction. I am currently working with my colleague on a tool that supports operators for refining nickel from a copper alloy. And I perform tests on the heat balance of our anode furnace. For this, I go to the foundry department at different times. I like the fact that I don't always have to sit at my desk. Within R&D, you are always working on different projects, so every working day looks completely different. -
How is cooperation with other departments?
Every day I work with operators from the foundry. Every morning I am greeted with a good morning. I notice that everyone enjoys helping on projects and it's always a nice cooperation. Without them, I cannot carry out my tests. Within R&D, each colleague has their own departments that they interact with and carry out projects in. It's a balanced distribution across the team.
