“After 7 years as an employee of an external company and with a temporary assignment afterwards in the security of the European Parliament, a new world opened up to me.

In 2014, I had the opportunity to take part in an EPSO competition to become a member of the European Parliament's security team as an official.

As Site Coordinator in Brussels, the main tasks are to ensure the safety and protection of people and property on the Brussels site and to control access to European Parliament buildings and facilities. Assignments for other sites of the European Parliament make the work even more interesting.

Every day the work changes, no two days are alike. The challenges and missions are very varied. So, the job is definitely not boring.

The team is very multicultural, I have colleagues from all over Europe. My colleagues are complementary because there are many different experiences in the field of security, which helps me to carry out my missions.

After 10 years, I am very happy for having taken the step towards a life in the European institutions. If I had known, I would have made the decision sooner.

I advise everyone to keep an eye on EPSO and seize the opportunity to join the family of the European public service.”
