Join Sumaqua

A great vision requires great people. We want to be a global trendsetter in water management by bringing the latest technology to practice. We offer our clients the best domain-specific design and tailored solutions to make their water system more efficient, sustainable and future-proof. To achieve our goal, we are always looking for talented people that match our vision and values.
What do we offer?
Working in a dynamic tech start-up is different. We offer you unique challenges and opportunities that you do not find elsewhere.
Personal growth and self-development
As a tech start up company, our activities and environment evolve rapidly. We offer you the chance to be part of this dynamic environment, and offer you a unique route for self-development.
Your job is highly versatile: one day you're developing an innovation, and the next you're already presenting your idea and concepts to potential clients or partners. You can take ownership of projects and developments, and take initiative to change things.
Join us, help shaping the company, but above all, do what drives you most.
Flexibility
We rely on a high trust company culture, and offer you immense flexibility: pick your own working hours, mix working at home and at our offices in Leuven, and go for projects which truly interest you.
A challenging environment with chances to experiment
As a tech start-up originating from university, innovation, R&D and creating new technology are some of our core activities. We encourage innovation and an open spirit, and also give you room to experiment. Interested in smart cities, climate adaptation or rather pure modelling? Pick your favorite business line, and go for it.
Competitive salary and benefits packages
