The European Commission – a solid workplace for IT professionals
Did you know that there are more than 2.000 IT consultants supporting, improving, and building the new IT systems that connect all the member states and aim to build a better Europe? And that the European Commission has elected Java, Spring, Angular as their main tools of development?
Therefore, there is a huge need for Java Backend Developer, Fullstack Developer, Java Architects, and others that could join the projects and be part of the local team development at the European Commission. With the new 2030 program starting now, there is a huge workload to build the new systems. For example, every week, there is a request for more than 20 java developers to join the projects.
Currently, due to Covid and till September 2021, all staff will be working 100% remotely. After, they should work in Brussels for at least one day per week if needed for meetings and team gatherings. See more on how the European Commission is reacted to the pandemic challenges.
European Commission is going full remote on 2022
The European Commission has set the goal to vacate half of its buildings by 2030, from 50 to 25. Why? Since that the pandemic proved that IT professionals can perform even better from home, and represent a much lower cost, the European Commission decided to take advantage and will give IT professionals working as external providers the opportunity to work remotely and come to the office only when needed. The new 2022 framework contract, which will replace the existing DIGIT-TM, will reflect the 100% remote work model for external providers.
