Luxembourg City is the second-largest EU duty station after Brussels, with around 12,000 staff concentrated on the Kirchberg plateau. It is one of the three official capitals of the Union and the only one named in the Treaties as a permanent seat of an EU institution: the Court of Justice of the European Union sits here by treaty. Luxembourg also hosts the European Court of Auditors, the European Investment Bank, Eurostat and the Publications Office. The listings below cover current EU vacancies in Luxembourg. See /guide/eu-salaries/ for pay context.

Who hires in Luxembourg

Luxembourg's EU employers are concentrated on the Kirchberg plateau. The Court of Justice of the European Union is the anchor, employing large numbers of lawyers, legal advisers and référendaires, followed by the European Court of Auditors (audit specialists), the European Investment Bank (finance and economics staff on the EIB's own rules), Eurostat (statisticians and data specialists) and the Publications Office, plus several Directorates-General of the Commission. The mix skews toward legal, financial, audit and statistical profiles, which shapes the kind of vacancies advertised here. Roles span officials, Temporary Agents, Contract Agents and traineeships, including the Court of Justice's law-focused traineeship programme.

The French factor, pay and living

Luxembourg is the one duty station where French genuinely matters more: the Court of Justice deliberates in French, and legal advisers and référendaires are expected to draft in French regardless of nationality, though pleadings can be in any official language. Outside the Court, English is widely used. On pay, EU salaries follow the same Staff Regulations grid as Brussels, so an AD5 starts at €6,152.64 per month basic, adjusted by the Luxembourg correction coefficient and topped up by the expatriation allowance for staff recruited from abroad. Luxembourg offers free nationwide public transport, European Schools and a highly international community; housing costs are high but offset by competitive EU pay.

Luxembourg hosts the Court of Justice of the European Union (its treaty-based seat), the European Court of Auditors, the European Investment Bank, Eurostat and the Publications Office, plus several Directorates-General of the European Commission, mostly on the Kirchberg plateau.
Do I need French to work for the EU in Luxembourg?
It depends on the employer. The Court of Justice deliberates in French and expects legal staff to draft in French, so it matters there. Outside the Court, English is widely used, and the standard two-language rule applies elsewhere in Luxembourg.

Around 12,000 EU staff work in Luxembourg City, concentrated on the Kirchberg plateau. That makes it the second-largest EU duty station after Brussels, with a workforce skewed toward legal, financial, audit and statistical profiles.
What does an EU job in Luxembourg pay?
EU salaries in Luxembourg follow the same Staff Regulations grid as elsewhere, so an AD5 official starts at €6,152.64 per month basic, adjusted by the Luxembourg correction coefficient and topped up by the expatriation allowance for staff recruited from abroad.
