Within Real Estate & Facility Contracting (RE&FC), KLM is undertaking one of the largest and most strategic real estate transitions in its history. This includes a number of interconnected projects, such as the construction of the new Cargo Terminal and catering facility, and the development of new offices—all driven by the relocation agreement with Schiphol. At the same time, RE&FC is increasingly moving from being a user of real estate to becoming an owner or tenant, with a significant impact on our balance sheet and cash flows.
As Project Controller for RE&FC, you’ll be at the heart of this dynamic, helping steer the way forward. You’ll act as a strategic business partner, financial conscience and guardian of processes, with direct exposure to KLM’s senior management and external stakeholders, including investors, project developers and government authorities. Your decisions and advice can influence public opinion.
RE&FC is part of Finance and has its own Controlling team, which is set to play an increasingly strategic role as the business grows its position as a real estate owner and increasingly as a tenant. The Project Controller role calls for an entrepreneurial mindset, strong planning and organisational skills, and the ability to focus on both short- and long-term goals.
