What does this job entail?

We are always on the go at KBC. A good thing with the number of banking transactions increases on a day-by-day basis. And all these transactions need to be as smooth as silk. That’s why we use an extensive internal ICT infrastructure and fast-functioning data centers. The administration of these tools is in the hands of the Floor Management Data Center.

This team is looking for a talented Floor Manager to join the ranks. An IT powerhouse whose internal processor operates a few megahertz faster at the mere thought of hosting IT infrastructure—but doesn’t become frazzled when things get busy.

What do we expect from you?

The Floor Management Data Center focuses on physical IMACD activities (Install, Move, Add Change or Decommissioning of ICT infrastructure) in the West and Central European data centers of the KBC Group. These centers are located in Belgium and Hungary.

As Floor Manager, you take charge of the day-to-day management of the KBC Group data centers, guaranteeing their correct functioning and availability.

In doing so:

• you collaborate closely with other IT experts, shaping future-proof ICT infrastructure and meeting client expectations;
• you tackle operational tasks and strategic challenges, as well as crucial processes, responding in the best possible way;
• you work independently, identifying practical solutions that help clients and do this at the speed of light. You communicate the solutions to the rest of your team just as quickly, ensuring they’re implemented in the blink of an eye;
• you draft new procedures and improve existing ones;
• you work in a result-oriented, risk-conscious manner, in constant pursuit of improvement.

Profile

• You have a bachelor’s or master’s degree in IT, computer science or electrical engineering. Any experience with data centers or facility service management will prove highly beneficial.
• You speak and write fluently in Dutch and English.
• You thrive on responsibility and enjoy working independently. At the same time, you love achieving goals as part of a dedicated team. You have no problem working constructively and professionally with colleagues from across the entire organisation.
• You think in a conceptual and analytic manner. You’re constantly looking for solutions that meet client demands, while ensuring the continuity of existing processes and systems.
• You’re assertive, convincing and diplomatic.
• You like the idea of occasional travel for work. You also understand why you’ll be on stand-by every now and then, either in the evening or for the weekend.
• You’re prepared to participate in internal and external courses to improve your skills in the area of data center management. You’ll use the new knowledge you acquire to support the continuous improvement of the data center floor management.
• You are very professional in the way you cope with changing tasks that result from evolutions in organisation or operational priorities.

Proposal:

• We offer you an exceptional range of training and development opportunities so that you can develop your full potential. You are encouraged to keep growing as a person and professionally.
• You will receive a permanent contract with a competitive salary, including an extensive package of additional benefits.
• Our offices are easily accessible by public transport. You can also work partly from home if you like, even when the covid-related regulations are no longer in place.
• We value a good balance between your work and private life. This is one of the reasons we were awarded the Top Employer 2021 certificate. We’ll happily share some other reasons with you during an interview.
