Facility Services Assistant

As a Facility Services Assistant at cosine, you play a key role in ensuring that our high-tech working environment remains safe, organized, and fully operational. Based at our facility, you will work in a unique environment where advanced space instruments are developed, tested, and manufactured.

You will support the day-to-day management of our buildings and technical installations, helping to ensure that colleagues, visitors, and suppliers can rely on a professional and well-functioning workplace.

No two days are the same. One moment, you may be coordinating a supplier performing maintenance on a technical installation; the next, you could be resolving a facility-related issue, assisting with an internal relocation, or inspecting the condition of our buildings and grounds. Thanks to your hands-on mentality and service-oriented approach, our engineers and specialists can focus on developing technologies for future space missions.

In this role, you will:

• Act as the first point of contact for facility-related requests and contribute to a safe, clean, and well-organized working environment
• Support the management, inspection, and monitoring of buildings, technical installations, and site facilities, including HVAC systems that support our cleanroom operations
• Coordinate and supervise external suppliers, maintenance providers, and contractors carrying out work on-site.
• Assist with preventive and corrective maintenance activities, facility projects, internal relocations, and workplace modifications
• Maintain maintenance records, inventories, purchase orders, and facility administration, while contributing to improvements in safety, sustainability, and energy efficiency

You possess the following qualifications:

• MBO-level vocational education and working/thinking level, preferably in Facility Management, Engineering, Building Management, or a related field.
• Affinity with building management, technical installations, and facility services.
• A practical, hands-on attitude and willingness to take initiative.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to coordinate multiple tasks simultaneously.
• Good command of both Dutch and English, spoken and written.
• A valid Category B driving licence; Emergency Response Officer (BHV) certification and/or VCA certification are considered an advantage.

• A unique and international working environment at the intersection of physics and engineering
• A gross monthly salary between €2,200 and €3,200
