Description & Requirements
The energy of a newsroom, the precision of a control room, the resilience of a data center - we work with urgency and care to create environments that perform. Our workplaces are fast-moving, high-functioning, and designed to support everything from daily operations to critical systems. At Bloomberg, our buildings don't just house our teams - they reflect our values of innovation, responsibility, resilience and efficiency. Therefore, sustainability is at every level of facilities operations, from infrastructure to soft services .
At the heart of our sustainability strategy lies infrastructure-the foundation upon which all environmental progress is built. Bloomberg's commitment to resilient, future-ready infrastructure starts with the systems that sustain our global operations. By advancing our infrastructure, we not only reduce our environmental impact but also enhance reliability, performance, and adaptability across our portfolio. Bloomberg's science-based net-zero target drives us to transform our facilities by reducing absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by 90 percent by 2040 (from a 2018 baseline). We continually refine our infrastructure management, ensuring that our buildings and services are optimized to deliver on ambitious sustainability goals without ever compromising system, performance, uptime, or the workplace experience.
Our Team
Bloomberg's Global Infrastructure, Data Center & Workplace Sustainability teams manage the performance of our buildings and services in more than 160 locations worldwide including our mission critical datacenters. We support day-to-day maintenance and operations, and capital improvements. We work closely with the Global Sustainability Office (GSO) and other internal partners to operationalize Bloomberg's ESG strategy and deliver against enterprise-wide sustainability commitments.
