CALL FOR APPLICATIONS

(2022/C 130 A/01)

The post of Director for Buildings and Security (Grade AD 14 or AD 15) in the Directorate-General of Administration of the Court of Justice of the European Union will be vacant. This post will be filled under Article 29(2) of the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Union.

I.   DUTIES

Under the authority of the Director-General of Administration, the holder of this post is responsible for managing the Directorate of Buildings and Security (‘the DBS’) and organises and coordinates its activities.

The DBS is responsible for the conduct and implementation of the construction projects of the Court of Justice of the European Union (‘the institution’), the transformation and fitting-out of the buildings occupied by the institution and the maintenance of those buildings. It manages and maintains technical installations. It is also responsible for the safety of persons, data and property in the context of the institution’s activities. In addition, the DBS is responsible for internal logistics, including catering, purchasing, the inventory and general services (including, support for hearings, management of the vehicle fleet, the mail service). Lastly, it coordinates the development of the policy of sustainable management of the institution and ensures the implementation of that policy, in accordance with the EMAS Regulation.

Future challenges will be in the area of infrastructure maintenance, which must be professional, systematic and structured in order to preserve the value of that infrastructure, and the adaptation of that infrastructure to ensure that it meets the changing needs of the institution in a sustainable manner. In that context, the increased use of home working will require specific attention. Next, it will be necessary to develop and stabilise the security system, both in terms of technical equipment and organisational strategies. The DBS is committed to continuous improvement and quality assurance.

In line with the priorities defined by the institution, and taking into account the specific needs of the institution in relation to its judicial task, the Director of DBS advises the competent bodies of the institution and proposes to those bodies the strategy to be followed in the short, medium and long term concerning infrastructure, security and logistics. The Director is responsible for budgetary planning of activities and implementation of work plans. The Director manages a team of approximately 150 officials and staff and supervises the execution of service contracts by external service providers, particularly in the areas of maintenance and management of technical installations, cleaning, security, fire prevention and catering. The annual budget managed by the DBS is approximately EUR 65 million.

The Director of the DBS also ensures that the infrastructure complies with the requirements of the applicable technical regulations and exercises the powers of sub-delegated authorising officer for expenses relating to the activities of that directorate in compliance with the financial regulations, in particular concerning public procurement.

As part of the Director’s responsibilities, the Director represents the institution vis-à-vis external bodies and authorities, including the national authorities of the host State, and in the context of cooperation between EU institutions.

II.   REQUIRED PROFILE

We are looking for a person who can direct and motivate a large team of skilled professionals, who are specialists in the fields of construction, security and logistics, possessing excellent management skills and the ability to lead a service-oriented administrative entity in a multicultural environment. That person must have strong communication, negotiating and inter-personal skills with a view to developing and maintaining excellent relations both within the institution, with the Members and staff of the chambers and of the services, and outside the institution, with the other institutions and agencies of the European Union, the national authorities of the host state (including law enforcement agencies), architects’ offices, engineers, consultants and private companies.

The successful candidate should have an understanding of the challenges faced by large organisations in the design, development and evolution of infrastructure, security and logistics. That person should be able to develop strategic objectives in those areas, linked to the priorities set by the institution, and to translate those objectives into proposals for concrete action. Experience in planning and project management would be highly desirable.
