Cost Controller

This is not a traditional young & no-budget job post

In fact, you might have come across so many amazing, outstanding, dynamic companies that want to change the world. But have you ever wondered at the end of your reading, what makes them so unique and different?

Let me first enlighten you on who we are and what we do at Working in Brussels

We build a bridge between companies offering benefits and modern workers' expectations.

We challenge the status quo and propose a salary package that includes high-end coliving accommodation. Just like a company car, but here it’s a cool accommodation and a real-life enriching experience that we offer! Bye to the rent and charges, and hello to sunset gin tonics, and a happy savings account that grows every month!

A package that incorporates talents’ whole life into account, this is the raison d'être of Working in Brussels!

You got it? We are the unique “Job + Co-living” Belgian player!

And what about our client? Who are they? What do they do?

The seeds were sown more than 100 years ago by two visionary brothers who saw the potential for prestigious construction projects in Belgium and set their sights on making it a reality. Their years of hard work have paid off, taking their company from local success to a global force with a presence in Europe, Africa, Canada, Australia and beyond.

Today, they are about 11.000 talented professionals from 80 different nationalities all focused on creating a real impact for people, raising multiple residential buildings, offices, hotels, bridges, stadiums, theme parks and many other exciting projects that delight millions of humans beings. This young sprout has blossomed into a magnificent, diverse forest and is now one of Belgium’s biggest success stories.

To set a clear course for success, they set up an integrated approach that enables them to create value for the customer that goes beyond just building. Indeed, they do more than just put bricks on top of each other, this is a full-service enterprise that handles every aspect of a project, from financing and design to construction, operation and maintenance. This way, the Belgian company stands out with its own engineering department, with expertise in geotechnical engineering, concrete technology, methods and planning tools such as BIM and System Engineering. Constantly looking for innovation, they invest in new building methods and technologies, bringing the construction sector to a whole new level!
