Working at SL Materials

Working at SL Materials

At SL Materials, skilled professionals, scientists, entrepreneurs, and true enthusiasts work together with one shared conviction: that circular concrete should be the norm. That conviction runs through everything — our laboratories, the factory floor, construction sites, the office, and every conversation about how things can be done better. We are straightforward, direct, and value people who truly know their craft. No nonsense, no rigid structures, no ‘that’s how we’ve always done it’. Instead: room to think, room to make mistakes, and room to keep building.

Our Drivers

Our drivers are the convictions on which we base every decision, every day — about what we make, who we work with, and how we behave. Below are five drivers that together form our DNA. They explain why we do what we do, and why we do it this way.

What You Can Count On

Purposeful innovation

Here, you have the space to do things differently. We reward curiosity, give people the trust to experiment, and see a failed idea as a smaller risk than standing still. Whatever your role: your idea for doing it better is welcome.

Fundamental impact

Your work matters. What you do contributes directly to a sector that no longer depletes the planet. We work towards a purpose that is greater than ourselves. You feel that every day in what we ask and what we deliver.

Collective strength

You are never on your own. We work in teams that share knowledge and challenge each other. And we work not just with each other, but also with our partners — demolition companies, contractors, architects, scientists. An ecosystem in which your expertise becomes part of something greater.

What does a working day at SL Materials look like?
