DORC (Dutch Ophthalmic Research Center) has undergone a transformation over 40 years from a Rotterdam-based producer of ophthalmic instruments to a global market leader. Our products are sold in over 80 countries worldwide. Where it all began in a garage, the company now consists of multiple locations worldwide with its headquarters in Zuidland. Despite this growth, DORC remains an informal organization with short lines of communication and an open-door policy at the executive level. The success of DORC is thanks to everyone's contribution: from team members to eye surgeons.

DORC focuses on innovation and utilizes feedback from ophthalmologists worldwide for improvement. We manufacture machines such as the EVA (and its successor, the EVA nexus) intended for use in hospitals and eye clinics. These machines, comprised of approximately 1000 parts, are meticulously assembled. There is a department (Units) specialized in producing these machines, while other departments produce and test instruments, fibers, or vitrectomy equipment. After production, these items are inspected, cleaned, and packaged in a cleanroom. The logistics department manages the flow of semi-finished products and parts. These are stored in the warehouse and then delivered to production departments. It is essential that the supply chain is continuous to prevent production downtime.

DORC is always looking for suitable employees who are well-trained and motivated. Because you work with small parts, good motor skills are required. Learning and receiving feedback are also crucial aspects of your role. There is no gray area in product quality; a product is either correct or incorrect - and you want to ensure that surgeries can be performed safely. You work in teams, so it is important that you can function well in a group, adhere to guidelines, and be responsible and accurate.
