HEINEKEN is looking for you!

The Global Quality Department

Our department is at the heart of ensuring HEINEKEN's commitment to quality and food safety across more than 160 breweries worldwide. What makes us unique is our global reach combined with deep technical expertise — we provide clear global standards, lead a Centre of Excellence in Quality & Food Safety Systems, and nurture a strong, collaborative Quality Community.

Our team is made up of passionate specialists who bring diverse backgrounds and perspectives, yet share a common goal: to elevate Quality in everything we do.
