Azurreo is the telecommunications and technology arm of Seelon Holdings, a privately held international investment group operating across four continents. We specialise in telecom network performance testing, measuring quality of service (QoS) and quality of experience (QoE) for operators and technology vendors worldwide.

We are looking for a reliable and mobile Local IT & Operations Support Assistant based in or around Leuven, Belgium, who can provide occasional on-site IT, equipment, logistics and operational support.

This is a freelance, on-demand engagement, not a full-time or part-time employee position. There are no fixed or guaranteed weekly hours. Assignments will be requested as operational needs arise and, whenever possible, scheduled in advance.

Unlike a traditional office-based IT support role, Azurreo is currently establishing its local presence in the Leuven area and does not yet have a permanent office at this location as of now.

As a result, the person selected will initially also help us with practical local activities such as visiting and scouting potential office/workspace locations, meeting local service providers, collecting information, taking photographs and providing feedback to our remote teams.

Once a local workspace or office is established, the role will also include occasional physical support for IT equipment, shipments, inventory and other operational requirements.

Because assignments may take place at different locations in and around Leuven, having a valid driving licence, access to a car and the ability to travel independently are essential requirements for this role.

This position is intended for someone who can provide occasional local support when needed.

• Work is assigned on an on-demand basis.
• There are no guaranteed minimum hours or fixed weekly schedule.
• Assignments may range from a short local visit to several hours, depending on the task.
• Most assignments will take place during normal Monday-to-Friday business hours.
• We will provide the location, task details and expected scope before each assignment whenever possible.
• Some assignments may require travel to different locations in or around Leuven.
• The freelancer must be able to travel independently by car.
• As our local operations develop, the nature and frequency of assignments may evolve.

What we are looking for

• Based in Leuven or within easy travelling distance of Leuven, Belgium.
• Valid driving licence and access to a car.
• Comfortable travelling independently to different locations in the Leuven area.
• Reliable and responsive when occasional local assistance is required.
• Comfortable working independently and following remote instructions from international colleagues.
• Basic knowledge of laptops, computer peripherals and common IT troubleshooting.
• Good organisational skills and strong attention to detail.
• Comfortable visiting potential premises and collecting structured information on behalf of the company.
• Reliable and careful when handling company equipment.
• Able to maintain accurate records and provide clear written updates after completing an assignment.
• Comfortable communicating with local vendors, property representatives, couriers and service providers.
• Good communication skills.
• Previous experience in IT support, field support, office operations, logistics, inventory management, facilities or a similar role is an advantage.
• Working knowledge of English is important for communicating with Azurreo's international teams.
• Knowledge of Dutch and/or French is an advantage for interactions with local suppliers and service providers.
