Traineeship in quality control in Directorate Banknotes at European Central Bank

You will be part of the Production Section in the Directorate Banknotes. Our Directorate has approximately 70 members of staff working to ensure the integrity of euro banknotes as an efficient means of payment and to protect them against counterfeiting. In particular, we coordinate all activities relating to the development, production and circulation of banknotes, including those related to quality control both within the Eurosystem and with third parties.

In your role as a quality control trainee in the Production Section, you will be part of a team of around 14 people responsible for coordinating and monitoring euro banknote production, managing the accreditation process for euro banknote manufacturers and ensuring their compliance with health, safety, environmental, security, ethical and quality standards, approving production reference materials in printing works and paper mills and providing technical support in the development of new banknote series. You will work in close collaboration with euro banknote manufacturers and raw material suppliers.
