Working at ESA

How many people work at ESA worldwide?
ESA employs around 2700 staff members across its various locations.

Where are ESA staff located?
The vast majority of staff are located at ESA's seven main establishments: ESA Headquarters in Paris, France; ESTEC in Noordwijk, the Netherlands; ESRIN in Frascati, Italy; ESOC in Darmstadt, Germany; ESAC in Villanueva de la Cañada, Spain; ECSAT in Harwell, United Kingdom and ESEC in Redu, Belgium. ESA staff are also based at a number of sites, ground stations, offices and outposts worldwide.

What are the working languages of the Agency?
ESA’s working languages are English and French. Fluency in one of these languages is required and knowledge of another Member State language is considered to be an asset. In practice, however, most meetings are conducted in English while social and informal interactions can take place in almost any language.

What is ESA’s approach to diversity?
ESA is an equal opportunity employer, committed to achieving diversity within the workforce and creating an inclusive working environment. To this end, we welcome applications from all qualified candidates irrespective of gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, beliefs, age, disability or other characteristics.

Whenever possible, we seek to accommodate individuals with disabilities by providing the necessary support at the workplace. The Human Resources Department can also provide assistance during the recruitment process.
Learn more about diversity and inclusiveness at ESA here.

How do you support newcomers in moving to ESA?
If you need to move from your home country to work for ESA, you will receive a relocation support package. This includes support to help you find accommodation as well as the reimbursement of your removal expenses, plus an installation allowance to assist with the costs associated with settling into your new home. Other support is also provided, such as language courses. For more details, please look at our What we offer page.

What are the working hours at ESA?
ESA is a family-friendly environment offering flexible working arrangements and multiple benefits to its employees for greater work-life balance. As a general principle, ESA has a five-day, 40-hour working week. Learn more by clicking here.

What if I am recruited at an ESA establishment and I don’t speak the local language?
ESA offers language training to support the integration of new staff and their partners. More information on the various options can be provided to candidates during the selection process.

What facilities are available on-site?
You can find complete information on ESA’s on-site facilities on the ESA establishments page and the Life at ESA page.

Before applying

How do I apply for a post at ESA?
ESA vacancies are posted regularly on ESA's Careers website and can be found under 'Browse current vacancies', or directly from ESA’s recruiting website. To apply for a position, click on the ‘Apply now’ button at the bottom of the job description then register, fill in your candidate profile and upload the required documents and information. You will be requested to answer some eligibility and technical pre-screening questions. After submitting your application, you will be able to track its progress by logging into your profile.

How often are new jobs posted on your website?
New vacancies are posted regularly (often daily), so check the vacancies page frequently. You can also set up a job alert so that you are automatically informed of new positions that are suited to your profile – click here to find out how to do so.

Can I send an open application?
Due to the extremely high volume of applications, we receive each year, we are unable to process open applications. Instead, we encourage you to monitor our Careers website for suitable vacancies and/or sign up for a job alert and then apply when you see a vacancy of interest to you.

How long do vacancies stay open for?
Once published, external vacancy notices remain on the careers site until the closing date, which is usually three weeks from the date of issue.

Can I apply for more than one job at a time?
You are welcome to apply for any job for which you are qualified. For our trainee positions, we strongly encourage you to take the time to identify the opportunity that is most in line with your aspirations and background before applying, as some of our trainee programmes do limit the total number of applications from one person during a particular selection round.

I am not currently working in the space sector, but I would like to work at ESA. Can I still apply for a position?
If your background and profile are in line with the competencies outlined in the job description, your application is welcome. We have opportunities in science, engineering and business and administration areas (legal, facility management, communication, HR etc.). For some positions at ESA, a certain level of knowledge or experience of the space sector will be required and for others, it will be an asset. Where this is the case, it will be clearly mentioned in the requirements. If it is not mentioned, then we would certainly encourage you to apply. There are many roles at ESA where non-space related knowledge and experience can be an asset.

Are there any opportunities to work remotely?
As an ESA staff member, your principal residence will need to be within 100km of your workplace. If, as a result, you need to move to a new location, you will be entitled to receive a relocation support package (more info on relocation support is provided on this page).

I am not a national of one of the ESA Member States. Can I still apply?
Unfortunately, this is not possible. ESA is only able to consider applications from nationals of ESA Member States, Associate Member States or Cooperating States (find the full list here). These countries are listed in our vacancies.

I live in a country that is not an ESA Member State or Cooperating State. Can I still apply for a position at ESA?
Your country of residence is not the determining factor. To work at ESA, you must be a citizen of one of the following ESA Member States: Austria, Belgium, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Nationals from Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia and Slovenia, as Associate Members, or Canada as a Cooperating State can also apply. Nationals from Bulgaria, Croatia and Cyprus (as European Cooperating States) can apply for some of the ESA Entry-Level Programmes.

The exact list of eligible countries is posted at the bottom of each published vacancy. All applicants are advised to check this list for each vacancy they are interested in.

Where can I find vacancies for a specific ESA establishment?
Each job description states where the job will be located. If you cannot find a vacancy notice for your preferred establishment, it means there are no current vacancies there. The drop-down menu covers the main ESA establishments. If you are looking for a vacancy in a location that is not listed, such as EAC in Porz-Wahn or ESEC in Redu, enter the establishment name into the “key words” box. We recommend that you take the same approach when setting up your alert.

I would like to apply for a vacancy which specifies one location but also indicates that there will be a resident assignment to another location. What does this mean?
If you are recruited for a vacancy with a resident assignment, it is important to note that you will be working at the resident assignment location.

To give a concrete example: the location in the vacancy description is shown as ESTEC in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, with a resident assignment to ESA Headquarters in Paris, France. In practical terms, this means that you will be working in Paris. You will need to relocate to Paris, unless of course you are already living there, and your salary will be paid according to the French salary scale.

You are now asking why the two locations are both mentioned in the vacancy. This is because the definition of a resident assignment is a legal one, specific to ESA, and has certain conditions:

1. It is an assignment for a clearly defined activity which will last for more than two years. The clearly defined nature of the activity means that it will come to an end at a certain point. This makes it a temporary assignment in ESA terms.
2. While the end date is not usually known at the time the assignment starts, you will be required to return to the initial location specified in the vacancy upon completion of the activity. In the example given above, this would be Noordwijk.
3. ESA will give you sufficient notice of the upcoming end of your resident assignment so that you can prepare your relocation. You will also be given relocation support, in the same way as for any reassignment to another country.

It is therefore important to be aware of the specific conditions of a resident assignment when preparing your application for a vacancy of this type.

We appreciate that this is a complex topic, especially if you have not worked for ESA before, and will be pleased to provide more information, as required, during the selection process. Should you need additional information at the time of preparing your application, please contact contact.human.resources@esa.int.

What is the difference between a permanent post and a fixed-term post?
A permanent post is initially filled for four years with the possibility of a contract extension up to the ESA retirement age of 63.

A fixed-term post, as the name suggests, is created to meet temporary needs and the related contract is therefore issued for a fixed and predetermined duration which is indicated in the vacancy, and confirmed in the contract issued upon recruitment. If you are recruited on a fixed-term contract and you wish to continue working for ESA after it ends, you will need to successfully apply for a permanent position. ESA staff members can work for ESA on fixed-term posts up to a (combined) maximum duration of 4 years.

If a fixed-term contract comes to its scheduled end, a departure indemnity may be paid to the staff member concerned. They will also be offered the possibility, under certain conditions, to maintain their ESA medical insurance coverage for up to six months after the end of the contract.

Should you require further clarification on this topic when preparing your application, especially if you are unfamiliar with ESA contracts, please do not hesitate to contact us at contact.human.resources@esa.int .

ESA also offers other types of position, such as internships, Research Fellowships or Young Graduate Traineeships and others, which have different terms and conditions. If the vacancy you are interested in falls into any of these categories, please refer to the vacancy itself for further information on these topics .

What is the ESA retirement age and how does the ESA pension scheme work?
The ESA retirement age is 63. Permanent contracts may be extended beyond this age for a limited duration under certain specific circumstances.

ESA offers a defined benefits pension scheme. Staff members accrue pension rights yearly and are eligible for a retirement pension from the age of 63 after completing 10 years of service. The maximum pension entitlement is 70% of the last earned salary, which is accrued after 35 years of service.

Staff members who leave the agency before the completion of 10 years of service receive a leaving allowance (a one-time payment based on pension contributions made during the period of their service).

It is important to note that ESA, like other intergovernmental organisations, manages its own pension scheme. Unless you (can) make your own arrangements separately for the period of employment at ESA, you will not accrue pension rights in any of the ESA Member States, including the country in which you are working.

What kind of working conditions and benefits can I expect?
In addition to an international and multicultural working environment, ESA offers an attractive remuneration and benefits package.

I don’t have a Master’s degree, what are the opportunities for me at ESA?
All professional roles at ESA require a Master as a minimum. Some require a PhD. However, for administrative supporting positions, such as secretaries or administrative assistants, the educational requirements are less stringent.
The ESA trainee programmes start with opportunities targeting students studying for a Master. More information about the various trainee programmes can be found here.

The detailed educational requirements for each position are specified in the vacancy text. Have a look at our vacancies and set up an alert to be informed as soon as an opportunity is published. In addition, the ESA Academy offers exciting short-term learning opportunities such as hands-on space projects and training programmes for students from Bachelor to PhD level.

I would like to become an astronaut. How should I proceed and what qualifications do I need?
Information on how to become an astronaut can be found under How to Become an Astronaut, or by visiting the Human & Robotic Exploration FAQ page.

The application deadline has passed. Can I still apply?
No, applications sent after the deadline (00:00 CET) will not be considered. The "Submit" button will automatically disappear at that time and you will no longer be able to submit your application.

Can I have a copy of the job description?
You can find the job description at the bottom of the confirmation email you received upon submission of your application for the position.

How many candidates will be interviewed?
This depends on various factors and therefore the exact number of interviewees is not known until the end of the candidate selection phase.

I am an ESA Member State national, but do not yet have my passport. Can I apply once I have received it?
Passport and/or ID card details are required to apply for an ESA position. You can apply for an ESA staff position once you are in possession of a valid ID card or passport issued by an ESA Member State.

Can I apply for more than one position at the same time?
You are welcome to apply for any job for which you are qualified. For our trainee positions, we strongly encourage you to take the time to identify the opportunity that is most in line with your aspirations and background before applying, as some of our trainee programmes do limit the total number of applications from one person during a particular selection round.

During/after applying

Will you confirm receipt of my application?
All applications receive an automatic acknowledgement of receipt. Once you have applied, you will be able to track the status of your application by logging into your account. All candidates, whether they are selected for interview or not, are informed by email about the outcome of their application. Please note that the ESA selection process can sometimes take several months as there are many stakeholders involved and we need to carefully compare qualifications and experience against our requirements.

What happens to my online application?
After the submission deadline has passed, all applications are evaluated and a shortlist of suitable candidates is compiled. Applicants on the shortlist will be invited to attend a pre-screening discussion or an interview. Most of our interviews take place online on Microsoft Teams or Webex.

How do I submit my application?
To apply for a vacancy, you first need to create an account. To do so, go to Explore Career Opportunities and click on “Sign in”, then on “Create an account”. Once your account is set up, you can apply for any job listed on the career opportunities page.

I am unable to submit my application, what should I do?
Please reach out to contact.human.resources@esa.int.

In which language should I complete my application?
You should submit your application in one of ESA’s two official languages, which are English and French. Since most of ESA selection interviews take place in English, we recommend you apply in English.

Who will interview me?
You will be interviewed by a selection board that includes the recruiting manager(s), an external board member from another directorate and an HR representative. The names of the interview board members will be given to you at the start of the interview. Most of our interviews take place online on Microsoft Teams or Webex.

How can I check the status of my application?
You can always check the status of your application by signing into the ESA Careers website and opening the link to Jobs Applied. If your status is “New Application - Reviewing all applications”, we are still assessing the applications received and information on the outcome of your application is not yet available. Once this step is complete, we will notify you about the outcome via email.

I have not been selected for an interview. Can I have feedback?
Due to the high number of applications ESA receives, we are unable to give you personalised feedback. However, the decision does not prejudge any applications you may wish to present for future opportunities at ESA. We therefore encourage you to visit the ESA Careers page to check out our vacancies and set up a job alert to stay informed of new positions opening up.

Why have I been rejected when I fulfil all the requirements?
If you have not been shortlisted for an interview, that does not mean you did not meet the requirements of the job. It does, however, mean that there were other candidates who better matched the profile we were seeking for that role.

I do not feel comfortable providing you with the personal documents you request. Do you have adequate data protection procedures?
Protection of personal data is of great importance to ESA. We strive to ensure a high level of protection as required by the ESA Framework on Personal Data Protection. ESA implements appropriate measures to preserve the rights of data subjects, to ensure the processing of personal data for specified and legitimate purposes under conditions protecting the confidentiality, integrity and safety of personal data and generally to implement the principles set out in the Personal Data Protection Framework, available at: Highlights of ESA Rules and Regulations.

How long should the CV and cover letter be?
The length of your CV and cover letter is your decision. As a guideline, however, we would encourage you to send us no more than two to three pages for the CV, and no more than one page for the cover letter.

Who should I send my cover letter to and what should it include?
As all applications are online, there is no need to mention an addressee; you can send your cover letter to ESA Recruitment if no name has been provided. The cover letter is an important supporting document providing additional information about you that might not appear or be sufficiently highlighted in your CV. You should describe your professional competence and personal reasons for being interested in ESA and which are specifically related to the job you are applying for.

Can I make a change to my application after I have submitted it?
You have the right to update or correct your basic data (i.e., address, telephone number or email address) and profile at any time. However, information relating to a specific application and the related vacancy’s eligibility and selection criteria may only be updated or corrected before the closing date of that vacancy.

You can update your application by logging into your account. If the application deadline has passed, please get in touch with contact.human.resources@esa.int.

I have been invited for an interview, but I am unable to attend on the proposed date. Can it be rescheduled?
Given the high volume of recruitment at ESA and that ESA interviews are conducted by a panel of at least four people who all need to be available at the same time, it may not be possible to reschedule your interview. If you are unable to attend your interview, please let your recruitment contact person know as soon as possible and why. We will do what we can to accommodate your constraints, but cannot give any guarantees.

How do I fill in the languages section on the application form?
If you are unsure which language proficiency level to select, please refer to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

I tried to apply and although there were still a few minutes before the deadline, the application was already closed.
We strongly recommend to all candidates that they avoid submitting their applications at the very last minute in case of possible technical issues. However, should you encounter a problem, please take a screenshot of the page and send it in an email to: contact.human.resources@esa.int.

I have two ESA Member State nationalities. How should I rank them in my application?
If you have the nationality of an under-represented or balanced country, we advise you to give that as your first nationality.

Is there a time limit for filling in the application form?
There is no time limit for filling in your application. You can save your application as a draft and return to it later if you cannot complete it in one go. We recommend that you regularly click on the "Save" button to avoid losing any changes.

What is the official deadline for an application?
The deadline for submitting your application will be the closing date at midnight, Central European Time.
The official deadline for applications will be shown in:
- the list of job opportunities on ESA’s career website
- the header of each application
Please note that applications cannot be accepted once the official deadline has passed.

What checks will be conducted as part of the basic screening before appointment?
Basic screening of successful candidates is conducted as part of the selection process by an external background screening service in accordance with the European Space Agency’s security procedures. The level of screening is determined by the role into which you are being recruited at ESA, and by your country of residence or country of nationality. It might include: employment verification, verification of highest level of education, statement of good conduct and reference checks.

If you apply for an ESA leadership role, the selection process includes a Leadership Competency Assessment. This is conducted by an external party.

In addition, before our contract offer can be confirmed, you will be asked to complete a basic medical screening and to send the results to the ESA Medical Officer. Once they have given their green light, the ESA contract will be confirmed.

Roster recruitment 

What is roster recruitment? How does it differ from position-specific recruitment?
Although most of ESA’s job openings are for individual positions, the agency also establishes rosters for generic job openings. Rosters are lists of pre-assessed, approved candidates who have completed pre-recruitment security clearance and can receive an offer for upcoming positions without taking part in an additional competitive process. Generic job vacancy notices contain the following text: “This job opportunity is for roster purposes”. Typically, positions in system engineering, corporate controlling and product assurance, for example, are filled through roster recruitment. The application process is the same for both position-specific and generic/roster recruitment. However, roster recruitment aims to create a pool or roster of pre-qualified candidates who possess the necessary skills and qualifications for specific types of roles or projects, while position-specific recruitment is focused on identifying and selecting candidates for specific positions within the organisation.

How does roster recruitment work?
Roster recruitment works by establishing and maintaining a pool of pre-screened and qualified candidates who are available for future job openings. It is essential that you do not leave your application until the last minute when applying for roster recruitment opportunities as ESA continuously assesses candidates and upcoming positions may be filled as soon as suitable candidates are identified.

Overview of roster recruitment at ESA:

• Identification: ESA identifies the skills, qualifications and experience required for generic roles.
• Screening: Throughout the publication period of the roster vacancy, candidates are screened based on predetermined criteria to assess their suitability for future positions. This involves reviewing of CVs, conducting pre-selection tests, live online interviews with the selection board and a background check.
• Roster creation: Successful candidates are placed on the roster, which includes their contact information, qualifications, skills and experience. The roster remains open for a period of 24 months, which may be extended.
• Updates: The roster is regularly updated with new candidates and relevant information. If you are an active member of the job roster, you can expect updates from ESA every 3-6 months.
• Matching and selection: When a vacancy opens, ESA HR reviews the roster to identify potential candidates who match the job requirements. ESA sends the position description as well as the contract terms of the post (e.g. permanent or fixed-term) to potential candidates from the roster. A follow-up interview may be conducted to determine the best candidate for the position.
• Job offer: If you are selected, you will receive a personal notification, followed by an email indicating our intention to offer you the position and requesting additional information. Once we have received this information, we will send you our final ESA contract offer.

Is there a special test I need to pass to be placed on a roster?
Roster recruitment candidates will be required to undergo a virtual on-demand pre-screening interview, with an additional written test in some cases. Successful candidates will be invited to attend a final online interview conducted on Microsoft Teams. A follow-up interview may take place once a specific position becomes available.

Will I have a dedicated point of contact if I need to contact ESA?
Once placed on the roster, you will have a dedicated point of contact from ESA Human Resources, who will provide you with support and guidance throughout the duration of the roster.

Can I update my candidate profile while on the roster?
Once your job application status is “All applications are being reviewed”, you will no longer be able to update your profile. Should you wish to add relevant information or attach a document, such as a new certificate or qualification, you can do so on your candidate profile. (For more information about continuous assessment, please see Question 2: “How does roster recruitment work?”).

Does a place on the roster guarantee me a job at ESA?
While being included on a roster indicates that you have relevant qualifications and have fulfilled certain criteria, it does not guarantee that you will eventually be selected for a specific position. The final decision to recruit a candidate depends on various factors, including the specific requirements of the position, competition from other candidates and our hiring priorities.

Can I be placed on different ESA rosters at the same time?
Yes, it is possible to apply for and be placed on multiple ESA rosters simultaneously.

How long will I stay on the roster for?
The length of time candidates stay on a roster can vary depending on the availability of opportunities, but the standard duration is 24 months. Rosters may remain open for longer periods depending on their relevance and effectiveness in meeting ESA’s recruitment needs. You will be informed if the roster is extended past 24 months.

What should I do if I decide to leave the roster?
Should you wish to leave the ESA roster, you can withdraw your candidate profile by updating it on the ESA Careers website.

Can I put my roster placement temporarily on hold?
You can temporarily put your roster placement on hold by notifying your point of contact in Human Resources and updating your candidate profile to indicate that you are “on hold”. Please note that you may put your placement on hold for a maximum of six months. If you are on hold for more than six months, ESA may remove you from the roster. However, you remain free to apply for other roster positions during this time. Please note that ESA will actively contact you about upcoming positions unless you are temporarily on hold. As long as you are active on the roster, you can consider and reject offers.

How many other candidates will be on the roster?
The number of candidates on the roster depends on demand and the availability of qualified individuals for the specific roles and the frequency with which opportunities relating to the roster are published.

How often will ESA contact me while I am on the roster?
Once you are placed on a roster, you will be contacted by email whenever a specific position relating to that roster becomes available. You will also have a dedicated point of contact from Human Resources assigned to your specific roster, whom you can contact with any questions.

What should I do if I see another interesting ESA job opportunity?
If you see a non-roster vacancy that fits your profile, you should apply for it through the standard online application process. We recommend that you sign up for ESA job alerts to stay informed about the latest opportunities aligning with your interests and qualifications, even if you are already on a roster.

Is it possible to decline a job offer while on the roster?
ESA allows candidates on the roster to decline formal job offers up to three times. After exceeding this limit, ESA may remove you from the roster. You are, however, free to apply for any other ESA roster or non-roster opportunities in the future.

Student internships and entry-level programmes

Does ESA run any activities for students?
ESA organises a number of workshops, courses and competitions for students of all ages. If you would like to know more, take a look at the high schools and higher education sections of our Education site.

I am a high school/secondary school student looking for a summer job. What possibilities are there for me at ESA?
ESA’s programmes are open to university-level students and above. Short-term training programmes for high-school or secondary-school students are offered by ESA Education.

I recently graduated from university. Can I apply for a post at ESA?
Yes, ESA has a Young Graduate Trainee Programme for recent Master’s degree graduates. This one-year training opportunity is designed to give you your first professional experience and to help prepare you for future employment in the space sector. More information can be found on the Young Graduate Trainee Programme page.

What is the difference between the National Trainee Programme and the Young Graduate Trainee (YGT) Programme?
The main difference is that the National Trainee Programme placements are organised by the individual Member States participating in the programme. National Trainees are employed by the governments of their respective countries, with ESA playing the role of host. The YGT programme, on the other hand, is an ESA programme. It is open to nationals of all of ESA Member States and the trainees are employed by ESA.

How is the Junior Professional Programme different from the Young Graduate Trainee Programme or National Trainee Programme?
Like the Young Graduate Trainee Programme and National Trainee Programme, you need to be a citizen of an ESA Member State, Associate Member State or Canada as a Cooperating State and have a Master’s degree to be eligible to apply for the vacancies. However, the Junior Professional Programme is different in that it is open to professionals with two to three years of experience. So, you must have accumulated a certain amount of professional experience after graduation before applying to a JP position, which is not the case for the YGT Programme or the National Trainee Programme. Another key difference is the employment conditions: the Junior Professional Programme offers an ESA staff contract for a fixed-term period of three years, with the perspective of conversion to a permanent contract upon completion of the programme.

I am a national of a country with a National Trainee Programme, can I still apply for the YGT Programme?
Yes, you can.

I am a university student. Can I carry out a placement at ESA as part of my degree course?
Yes, ESA offers a number of student placements, normally for periods of three to six months, in both technical and non-technical areas of the Agency. Priority is given to Master’s students in their final years of studies. For more details and information on how to apply, look at Student internships.

I have just obtained my PhD, can I carry out my research topic at ESA?
ESA has a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Programme. For more information, see Research Fellowships.

Which educational studies are most suitable for work at ESA?
ESA is an organisation devoted to science and technology in the space domain. Most technical jobs therefore require a Master’s degree in an engineering and/or scientific discipline. Some positions require a PhD.

Where can I find the student internship opportunities?
These opportunities are usually published in November and remain open for one month. Once published, you can browse the opportunities on our recruitment website by clicking here.

Student internships: can I do my Master’s thesis at ESA?
Once you are selected for a student internship at ESA, and if agreed with your tutor, it is possible to write your Master's thesis while at ESA.

My questions about student internships at ESA are not answered here. What should I do?
Please click here for detailed FAQs on student internships.

I am applying for an internship/YGT opportunity where filling in the “Current and relevant Previous Job” section is mandatory, but I have no previous work experience. What should I write there?
If you have no previous work experience, please fill in the Job section with your university studies.

I am about to complete my Master’s degree. Can I still apply for a post if a Master’s degree is a requirement?
You need to have a Master’s degree at the time of starting work for ESA. If applying for a YGT opportunity, you need to be able to present us with your Master’s degree no later than three months after you have started working at ESA.
