European Patent Office opportunities

Our graduate engineers and scientists – drawn from over 30 different European countries – work at the cutting edge of technology, examining the latest inventions in every technical field in order to protect and to promote innovation in Europe.

If you have a degree in physics, chemistry, engineering or the natural sciences, a good working knowledge of at least two of the official languages (English, French and German) and the willingness to learn the third, you too could be part of our team of patent examiners in Munich, The Hague or Berlin.

We offer a competitive salary (4200-8000 EUR/ month net – depending on experience) as well as various benefits and allowances.

We urgently need a polish interpreter for Friday 27th September. Please contact recruitment@atozinterpreting.com. If you have any queries you can e-mail us or phone us on 0121 246 1479
