We are scheduled to launch and operate satellites each year for the coming decade. The work we do makes a positive contribution, helping to protect lives, property and industries.

EUMETSAT staff members are drawn from each of our thirty member states. They 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 members make 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 mindset, EUMETSAT provides a world-class working environment in its modern headquarters with bright open spaces, a subsidised canteen, a childcare centre and a broad range of social activities. 

Located in the state of Hesse in the centre of 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 amongst other. This 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.
