The role

Have you just finished your technical studies or are you in the final stretch and looking for a place where theory turns into real practice? At OCA Global, we work with a clear purpose: to make the world safer. From our laboratory in Madrid, we ensure that industrial materials and components meet the highest standards of quality and integrity before entering the real world.

We know that beginnings are for absorbing knowledge. That is why, if you are looking to take your first professional steps in a technical, dynamic environment surrounded by experts willing to teach you, this is the place for you.

What you'll do

What will your missions with us be? Forget about routine; here you will learn something new every day. Your main missions will be:

  • Preparing mechanical specimens and samples, ensuring that materials are in optimal condition for testing, which will allow you to learn from the ground up how metallographic preparation and material testing work.

  • Managing the entry and traceability of welding coupons, ensuring order and technical rigor in the laboratory, while you familiarize yourself with the quality standards of the industrial sector.

  • Learning and immersing yourself in the Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) area, accompanying our team of specialists to develop a solid technical foundation that will boost your career from minute one.

Requirements

What we're looking for

What would we like to see in your profile? We are not looking for you to know everything; we are looking for you to have the foundation to learn it quickly. To feel comfortable and enjoy this role, you will need:

  • Training in Materials Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or similar (Higher Vocational Training or Degree): You will need this technical base to understand the behavior of metals and the physical fundamentals of the tests we perform.

  • Eagerness to learn and proactivity: We will train you from scratch in NDT techniques, so your curiosity, organizational capacity, and willingness to get your hands dirty in the laboratory will be your best tools.

Pay & benefits

What you'll get

  • Real and continuous learning: We teach you from scratch. You will be supported by a team that is always willing to help you and resolve your doubts without judgment.

  • Young and collaborative environment: You will integrate into a group of people where camaraderie and a good atmosphere prevail in daily life.
