We are scheduled to launch and operate another each year until 2025. The work we do makes a positive contribution, helping protect lives, property and industries.
EUMETSAT staff members are drawn from each of the member states and are professionals who represent a diverse field of expertise, ranging from satellite operations, engineering, meteorology and data processing, to administration, law and finance.
The diverse backgrounds of our staff makes for a cosmopolitan and exciting working environment and EUMETSAT makes every effort to help new staff integrate, settle and thrive in their new surroundings.
In keeping with its global outlook, EUMETSAT provides a world-class working environment in its modern headquarters with bright open spaces and a subsidised canteen.
Located in the region of Hessen in West-Central Germany, Darmstadt is a city of approximately 140,000 inhabitants. It is home to many major scientific and technical organisations, including EUMETSAT, European Space Agency Operations Centre (ESOC), T-Mobile, Merck, and more. Their development has led to Darmstadt being dubbed the ‘Wissenschaftstadt’, or ‘City of Science’, and makes it an economically prosperous and internationally diverse city.
As a result of its close proximity to Frankfurt, a major European transport hub, Darmstadt is easily accessible by air, rail and road. It is a 20 minute drive from Frankfurt International Airport, and its main railway station has links to major cities both within Germany and in neighbouring countries.
