IT RECRUITING & STAFFING COMPANY OF THE YEAR
IT / Project Engineer @ SERIS Security
AMKP04200
Function
The position of IT / Project Manager at SERIS Technology is a dual role that combines two major responsibilities. On the one hand you actively participate in various technical projects – from preparation to delivery – and on the other hand you act as a pillar in the field of infrastructure and networks for both the internal IT operation of SERIS and the customer-oriented solutions. So you are not just a coordinator, but really someone who is at the wheel of the projects and operations.
A large part of your time will be spent on the delivery of projects, where you are the point of contact for everything to do with servers, networks and the underlying IT infrastructure. The focus here is not on the VMS part but rather on setting up virtual environments, configuring networks, firewall settings, setting up servers, you name it. You provide the technical backbone of a project.
Tasks and responsibilities
As IT / Project Manager at SERIS Technology you will have a very diverse range of tasks, with a particular emphasis on infrastructure and networking:
- You are the key person for everything related to server and network issues. You build the infrastructure, you support colleagues with the more difficult technical questions, you guide juniors and you are the rock in the branding when incidents occur.
- After implementation, you stay involved. Customers who are already in production with a system may still experience questions or problems. You act as a second-line helpline. The after-sales service team focuses on the first line, but as soon as something more complex arises, it comes to you.
- You manage escalations. If something becomes really urgent, or if the impact is big with a customer, you are the one who takes over, assesses the situation and takes the right steps. Sometimes things have to change quickly, and then it is important that you keep your head cool and can make technical decisions that others can rely on.
- You will also participate in the 24/7 on-call service every eight weeks. In return, of course, you will receive an appropriate remuneration.
Profile

Offer
- Being involved from A to Z: from design to rollout.
- An organization committed to people: good equipment, training, fun team moments and challenging projects.
- Workplaces where you never come otherwise: secure, exclusive environments.
- You can grow in width (other technologies) or in depth (project management, service or sales).
- SERIS will continue to invest in smart solutions such as drones, AI and intelligent camera technology in the coming years – not as a vision of the future, but as a daily reality.
- Short lines, little hierarchy: fast switching and direct communication.
- An open, collegial team atmosphere where everyone has their specialization, but works together equally.
- Different every day: variation in clients, technologies and environments.
- No pigeonholing: you don't work in one niche, but are given room to expand.
- Interested in AI or smart camera technology? Here you get the chance to delve into that.
- Lots of room to learn: on the job, through training or coaching.
- A warm SME culture with committed managers and a team-oriented approach.
- A strong client portfolio in critical and unique sectors.
- Open, no-nonsense culture: honest, professional and respectful of each other.

IT / Project Engineer @ SERIS Security
SERIS Technology is part of SERIS Security Benelux, which in turn is part of the international SERIS Group – headquartered in Paris. The group has thousands of employees and operates in several European countries. Where SERIS Security focuses on physical surveillance with agents, SERIS Technology takes care of the technological side of the story: security solutions that are smart, integrated and future-oriented.
SERIS Technology – with headquarters in Aarschot – offers technological support in security issues and focuses on the installation, integration and maintenance of systems such as intrusion detection, camera surveillance, access control, fire detection and perimeter security. With a team of about 170 employees and more than 2,000 customers-including Bpost, KBC, National Bank, Batopin, Carrefour, Lidl, Aldi and several nuclear sites-SERIS Technology is one of the bigger players on the Belgian market. Since its creation in 1957, they have firmly established their position in the Belgian market, working closely with major brands such as Bosch, HikVision, Vanderbilt, Axis and Dahua.
Unlike traditional installers SERIS Technology presents itself as a system integrator: they think about how different security solutions can be optimally tuned to each other. Not only the installation, but especially the whole working together is central. The company has its own – Aarschot based – 24/7 service desk, certified technicians and a strong internal IT support, which ensures efficient follow-up of both simple and complex installations.
Since the renewal of the management at SERIS Security, the focus within the group is more cooperation between departments, less thinking in silos and more integration between technology and services. SERIS Technology plays a strategic role in this by helping customers not only secure, but also guide them in their digital transformation, compliance processes and smart monitoring solutions.
