Careers

Administration and facilities manager

Premises, contracts, operating purchases, reception, vehicle fleet, personal safety: the administration and facilities manager keeps the company running around its core business. A discreet function whose absence is noticed immediately.

Holding what makes work possible

The function is organised around contracts: cleaning, security, facility maintenance, telephony, insurance, lease. Each is negotiated, monitored and renewed at the right moment. Operating purchases need a simple, held method, failing which they drift. The vehicle fleet, premises and personal safety complete the perimeter. The budget gives the whole its coherence, and it is what the function is judged on at year end.

  • Negotiate, monitor and renew routine service contracts
  • Organise operating purchases and hold an annual budget
  • Manage premises, the vehicle fleet and shared equipment
  • Ensure personal safety and the continuity of shared services

Organisations that structure this function

Corporate head offices

From a few dozen employees on, the function becomes professional and takes on its own budget.

Site camps and remote locations

Accommodation, catering, staff transport: a broader perimeter and direct responsibility for living conditions.

Missions and programmes

International organisations and funded programmes: purchasing governed by strict, audited procedures.

The programme in four measures

These measures come from the very document filed with the ministry, and they check out. An employer funding training asks for hours first; an equivalence office asks for credits first; a candidate asks for duration first. All three readings find their answer here, expressed in the same unit across the catalogue.

What each block makes you able to run

Each block is framed by what it makes possible in the field, not by the chapters it contains. That is what lets you hold the framework straight against a real job description: both speak in professional acts. The taught hours attached give the measure of the practice planned for each.
