Your team
You will be part of the Directorate Administration in the Directorate General Corporate Services. We are responsible for providing technical and infrastructural facilities management services, as well as for ensuring security, safety and operational resilience. We have around 200 staff members across three divisions – Premises, Administrative Services, and Security and Safety. We also outsource several services such as general guarding, cleaning and catering, which are provided by over 700 external personnel.
In your role as Facilities Services Administrator you will work within the Logistic Services Section together with approximately 35 colleagues. You will be part of the Meeting Hub team which is responsible for facilitating the organisation of meetings, conferences and events. This entails several tasks such as providing dedicated training sessions to organisers, reporting service levels, reviewing processes, monitoring service level agreements, improving IT tools and coordinating with the relevant stakeholders. Through these activities we also aim at contributing to the ECB’s sustainability targets by adapting our services in line with evolving business needs. You will work closely with meeting, conference and event organisers across all the business areas of the ECB, as well as service teams within the Directorate Administration and external service providers.
The ECB is an inclusive employer and we strive to reflect the diversity of the population we serve. We encourage you to apply irrespective of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, race, religious beliefs, sexual orientation or other characteristics.
Your role
As a Facilities Services Administrator you will:
- support the organisation of meetings, events and conferences;
- produce and analyse data, communicate them visually and present them to management in order to facilitate informed decisions and reporting (in particular with regard to meeting room usage and achievement of the ECB’s sustainability targets);
- contribute to developing policies, training sessions and communication in relation to meetings, rooms and related services;
- collect feedback from organisers and review the range of services offered for meetings, conferences and events;
- contribute to the further integration of IT tools used for meetings and conferences;
- interact and closely collaborate with the external supplier for booking meetings and related services.
The position offers you excellent opportunities to shape a sustainable meeting culture at the ECB and within the European System of Central Banks. You will be part of a multicultural team that strives for continuous innovation to make a positive impact on the lives of European citizens.
