Valcambi offers its employees an environment where entrepreneurship and mutual respect are encouraged and where you can develop your potential and be yourself.

HR and recruitment

As a global market leader in precious metals refining we aim to attract, motivate, develop, and retain the best people in the market. We look for skilled, talented, and energetic professionals who share our core values – integrity, passion, and dedication to our company.

Candidates often come from academic or professional backgrounds, including finance, engineering, science, technology, and the liberal arts. It doesn’t matter whether you are looking for a new professional challenge or if you are a recent graduate wanting to put your theoretical knowledge into practice, if you pass our challenging but fair selection process, then you have the chance to develop yourself in a young, dynamic environment where frank exchange of ideas, a proactive attitude, engagement, and transparent dialogue are encouraged. We reward staff not only for what they deliver but also for how their behaviour reflects our values.

Your career, our future! Your development is as important to us as it is to you. We work closely with you to support your personal growth and achieve our shared aspirations.
