Banqueting assistant EMA

Your workplace

The European Medicines Agency is an agency of the European Union in charge of the evaluation and supervision of pharmaceutical products. The building is located on the Zuidas in Amsterdam in the impressive Vivaldi building. It is an international workplace where English is the go-to language. It is a high-end location with a luxurious look and feel. There are 3 outlets in the building, including the restaurant, coffee bar, and the Sky lounge. The restaurant serves breakfast and a luxurious hot lunch for around 800 guests per day. We also take care of the banqueting, so it can be quite busy. The building at EMA is open 24/7 and the kitchen is open between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. 

You will soon get to know the guests you receive every day. This allows you to respond to their (dietary) wishes and, together with the fantastic team, make everyone happy. EMA is easily accessible by car and public transport. 

Your team

Are you looking for an international and dynamic working environment where team spirit is of paramount importance? Do you want to be part of a close-knit team that not only works hard but also celebrates successes and enjoys what they do? Then you are at the right place! 

Our team is multicultural and open-minded, and values diversity of thought and perspectives. It is a big family, where everyone can be themselves. “We encourage the sharing of ideas and strive for continuous growth and development, both professionally and personally.

Your job

"Good morning!" You've woken up on the right side of the bed and are ready to shine.

You prepare the restaurant 100% for one of the most important moments of the day: lunch. You assist in preparing all the smoothies, salads, sweet snacks, and sandwiches.

Then, it's lunchtime! You see businesspeople looking for a leisurely lunch, a group of interns grabbing a quick bite, and various other colleagues enjoying their lunch break. You greet the guests with your open, enthusiastic, and interested personality. And even better, the guests already know you by now. In between, you might help with the cash register or prepare a cappuccino with a beautiful heart on top.

After lunch, you start cleaning up, preparing for the next day, and making some (meeting) people happy with a cup of coffee, a snack, or a drink. Thanks to your friendly service, everyone is very satisfied, and you receive several compliments.
