As a Hard Facilities Manager, you are part of the CoC FM Building (Center of Competence) team. As a center of competence, we support the operational teams of Facility Services who maintain and keep more than 800 bpost buildings fully operational. In addition, through service contracts, we provide a framework in which external parties, responsible for both technical services and reception services, can deliver the expected level of service. As a CoC, we also serve as the point of contact for operational compliance and guide transformation processes within our department.

We also ensure that the efficiency and effectiveness of operational processes are visible through performance indicators and data analyses. In other words, we dive into operational data to provide insights into current performance and implement optimization proposals for the future.
