Opening in early 2025, The Standard, Brussels marks the hotel brand’s third outpost in Europe. Set in the city’s Northern Quarter, The Standard, Brussels brings the brand’s design, culture and activation-driven philosophy to Belgium.
With 180 guestrooms (plus 20 residences), the modern, new-build project features many stages for The Standard’s renowned day- and nightlife. A ground-floor greenhouse welcomes guests and locals into the lobby lounge, restaurant, and terrace. Upstairs, The Rooftop features its own restaurant, bar and garden—set to become a neighbourhood destination. Throughout the building, additional public and private event spaces are platforms for happenings.
The Standard, Brussels will welcome a new set of creative, dynamic guests into the brand ethos. In Brussels, The Standard’s signature mix of playful, sophisticated, unexpected hospitality finds roots and resonances in local culture. The simple premise behind The Standard is that it is anything but. Founded in 1999, the goals of every Standard are to up the aesthetic stakes and defy convention while attending to every detail, embracing our local communities, providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for our teams and, of course, delivering a smashing good time for our guests.
We are defined by our richness of personality, diversity of background and lifestyle and are now looking for an IT & AV Engineer who will embody our ‘Anything but Standard’ ethos as we commence our pre-opening period.
Your role
As our IT & AV Engineer, you will work in partnership with our Regional IT Director, General Manager and Senior Executive team to provide a dedicated in-house IT service for our new property in Brussels.
As part of our pre-opening team, you will oversee a number of important IT & AV projects on our critical path during the pre-opening period, to ensure that the project runs to schedule, pre-opening budgets are managed, IT & AV systems and protocols are in place and the property is successfully launched.
The IT & AV Engineer oversees all aspects of IT and AV infrastructure and services that support the property, ensuring the highest standards of security and compliance to protect data and systems.
While a significant portion of systems will be monitored by the Centralized Services teams, this role focuses primarily on hands-on tasks rather than managing the systems directly.
Key responsibilities include providing user support, ensuring the seamless integration of network and LAN hardware components, maintaining proper functionality of IT systems and hardware, managing IT contracts and maintenance schedules, and delivering AV and technical support for guestrooms and events.
Please note that AV support is not part of the Centralized Services team’s scope of involvement.
This is not a ‘Standard’ IT & AV Engineer position so you will need to have miles and miles of personality and stamina, be highly social, upbeat, and friendly; confident and can handle pressure well; thrive in a high-volume, high-energy environment and able to work equally well both independently and as part of a team.
