With a view to the development of new growth areas and even better service

Proximus plays an important role in the digital economy by investing massively in fixed and mobile networks and new innovative services. In this way the company creates economic growth and new jobs in Belgium. The company is recruiting 162 new employees in various disciplines around the country. Proximus wants to distinguish itself in the area of customer experience and is therefore looking for employees for its shops and customer service and for splicers for its cable network. Proximus is also looking to recruit people with specific skills for the development of new services in growth areas such as Internet of Things, Big Data and Security. In the first three months of 2015, Proximus has already recruited around 50 new employees. Another 162 are to be recruited in the short term.

Proximus wants to distinguish itself in the area of customer experience

Proximus wants to offer excellent quality and service with networks of outstanding quality and easy accessibility. That is why the company is looking for 72 technicians for its underground cable network. The technicians maintain and upgrade the cable network and connect new customers. In addition, Proximus is recruiting 24 staff to provide an excellent service in the shops and at Customer Service.

New skills and jobs for growth areas

Proximus aims to be a major player in the digital economy and is therefore focusing even more on innovation in 2015. Proximus will be developing user-friendly services with added value in growth areas such as Internet of Things, Big Data, New Way of Working and Security.

To support this growth, Proximus is looking for 44 employees with specific skills: data analysts, security experts, project and sales managers and IT architects and employees for the finance department.

Investing in the managers of tomorrow

Every year Proximus recruits promising young graduates with master's degrees. For 2015 Proximus is looking for 22 management trainees wanting to start work on 1 September 2015. To enable them to get to know the company well and gain experience, they will work in different departments over a two-year period. That experience will give them the opportunity to subsequently take up a job at Proximus that corresponds with their interests and training.

Renewed corporate culture with many opportunities

With 14,000 employees, Proximus is one of Belgium's largest employers. Proximus does not recruit on the basis of technical expertise alone, but looks mainly for attitude, personality and entrepreneurial spirit that fit in with the renewed corporate culture. The employees have many opportunities to take their career and personal development into their own hands. An internal job market and extensive training and learning facilities are good examples of this. In 2014, Proximus invested EUR 30 million in coaching and training courses for its employees. In addition, Proximus attaches great importance to a good work/life balance.
