Mission

Build the Future of Cancer Treatment with IBA in Valencia

At IBA, we are driven by one mission: to fight cancer through advanced proton therapy. As a global leader in proton therapy solutions, we design and deliver innovative technologies that help treating patients with greater precision while reducing side effects. In partnership with the Spanish Ministry of Health, and with the support and funding of the Amancio Ortega Foundation, we are contributing to the expansion of proton therapy in Spain, helping make proton cancer treatment more accessible to patients.

We are now looking for talented candidates to join us in an exciting journey in Valencia. This opportunity is more than a job : it is a chance to contribute directly to a technology that changes lives.

We are seeking passionate, technically minded profiles who are motivated by challenges and meaningful impact. Our ambition is to build a strong, cohesive team that will carry out at least two consecutive installations in Spain: a first one in Valencia, followed by a second project at another Spanish site. Our HR team will support you in your relocation to your second location.

Each installation project will last approximately 15 months, structured as follows:

• 3 months of comprehensive training to fully immerse you in IBA values, our technology and our system
• Followed by the installation phase of the equipment, where you will actively contribute to deploying proton therapy systems on site

This is a unique opportunity to develop your expertise, work within an international environment, and be part of a dedicated team united by a common purpose: improving cancer treatment through innovation and teamwork.

Join us and help shape the future of proton therapy in Spain.
