Job description

Fluxys is an international energy infrastructure group with 1,500 employees. We are active in gas transmission and storage, and in the handling of liquefied natural gas.

In Belgium, our network comprises more than 4,000 kilometres of pipelines, whilst in north-western Europe we are connected to a network of over 28,000 kilometres.

Through our LNG terminals, we can supply up to 485 TWh of energy annually, which is equivalent to the energy consumption of around 28 million households.

In addition, we have an underground natural gas storage facility in Loenhout with a capacity of 7,600 GWh. That is equivalent to the annual gas consumption of around 450,000 households.

We are committed to making a swift transition to a carbon-neutral world. We are exploring new technologies and investing in infrastructure for hydrogen, biomethane, CO₂ and other molecules to help achieve a climate-neutral future.

Job purpose

Fluxys has a number of offices spread across Belgium. Depending on the availability of work placement positions, opportunities may arise at the LNG terminal in Zeebrugge, in the various zones (North-West, North-East, Centre, South-East, South-West), at the Zuun emergency response centre, etc.
