Administrative employee for the secretariat of the Environmental Technology Development and Demonstration Program (MUDP) in the Environmental Protection Agency

Would you like to be part of a strong professional environment where we support companies that want to invest in future environmental technological solutions? Then maybe you are the person to be our new colleague in the Office for International Cooperation and Sustainable Development.

The Danish Environmental Protection Agency is part of the Ministry of Environment and the Danish authority in the environmental field. We work for water and marine nature, climate adaptation, safe chemicals, green production and circular economy. Our core task is to translate nature and environmental legislation into reality in interaction with the outside world.

The Environmental Protection Agency is nationwide and has about 900 employees. The agency's headquarters with about 700 workplaces is located in Odense, where you will also have your place of employment.

We are looking for you who want to

• Support our administration of projects, e.g. in connection with case processing of new and ongoing projects. It is therefore an advantage if you have a flair for project budgets and accounts, understanding of grant schemes and you have experience working with administrative systems.
• Contribute to our website.
• Handle diverse ad-hoc tasks and lend a hand across the entire office when needed.
• Work independently and as part of a team.

We are looking for you who have

• An administrative – perhaps accounting background.
• Experience with administrative IT systems and generally good proficiency in Excel, Word, PowerPoint and other common programs.
• A systematic approach to your work, can make things hang together and keep a cool head when things move fast.

You work independently and in a structured way, and at the same time you are a team player. You work well in a cross-disciplinary environment, thrive with many tasks and are flexible regarding tasks and take pride in helping where a hand is needed.

We offer you

An exciting position with responsibility and meaning, and where your work has great importance for the development of Danish environmental technology. You will get good and engaged colleagues who have an informal tone, and who keep up spirits and pull together – even when we are busy.

We are a commuting-friendly workplace with flexitime and the possibility of homeworking. We offer an exciting environment where everyday life alternates between case processing characterized by immersion, administration, operations, development and ongoing handling of suddenly arising environmental questions. Your colleagues are professionally knowledgeable, the bar is set high and we prioritise professional sparring and knowledge sharing seasoned with humor and chat over coffee.
