Sompo has a unique opportunity for a
Receptionist in our Facilities team.
The Facilities Department is essential to maintaining a safe, efficient, and welcoming office environment. It oversees all aspects of building infrastructure, including plumbing, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and fire safety equipment, ensuring everything functions reliably and in compliance with regulations. The team also manages security systems through access controls and assigns access passes for new joiners. On the softer side, we handle services that directly affect the daily comfort and experience of staff and visitors—such as cleaning, recycling, mail delivery, meeting room setups, and reception. Additional responsibilities often include space planning for office moves, first aid and fire marshal coordination, sustainability efforts, contractor management, and maintaining a positive workspace atmosphere. Altogether, the Facilities Department provides the behindthe-scenes support that enables employees to focus on their work while enjoying a clean, safe, and wellorganised environment.
