Saron is the real estate company which owns most of the properties used by the Sarens Group (primarily land and industrial properties). Now we’re searching for a Real Estate Coordinator, someone who’ll manage all the real estate affairs.

Your job as a Real Estate Coordinator in a nutshell:

• Communicating with important stakeholders both internally and externally, like shareholders, BU Managers, Facility Department, Legal Counsel,… to manage all real estate projects.

If necessary you’ll operate as a project manager who’ll call on local experts and partners. You’ll coordinate and follow-up the progress from A to Z with the help of local parties and specialists. The focus remains rather on the management of the existing real estate and less on the expansion.

In this function you’ll report to Matthias Sarens (RDD Manager, but also responsible for Saron operation activities). You will work autonomously but you’ll receive support and guidance from a permanent consultant with expertise. For specific matters you can also consult the expertise of other internal departments (legal, finance, facilities,…).
