Analyst for Safe Green Transition and Digitalization

Do you want to help shape the future of the emergency services?

The green transition is gaining ground and the emergency services must keep pace. For this work we need you to help with conducting fire tests, analyses and staying up to date in the field.

About us

The Danish Emergency Management Agency's Office for Knowledge and Municipal Emergency Services contributes to ensuring that the development of the emergency services takes place on a knowledge-based foundation. We work with projects, preparation of analyses, etc., and we are the hub for the national dispatch database for the fire brigades. In addition, we support municipal emergency services with advisory services and supervision in connection with their risk-based dimensioning plans.

We are currently 21 staff with different educational backgrounds – both emergency service professionals and academic profiles. We solve tasks in an informal, professional and open environment, where there is always the opportunity for sparring with good colleagues.

About the position

The emergency services are undergoing change due to the green transition. New materials and technologies are moving into the building stock – battery facilities, solar cells, wood in load-bearing structures and more complex building designs – creating a more unpredictable risk landscape.

As an analyst in the team for Safe Green Transition and Digitalisation, you will be a central pivot for the work that equips the Danish Emergency Management Agency and the municipal emergency services for this development. You will be responsible for translating new knowledge into concrete recommendations, guidelines, competency development, and for bridging the gap between the operational emergency services, authorities, research and industry.

Your main tasks

• Knowledge and curiosity within the emergency services domain.
• Set direction for knowledge building on building trends with high priority – especially battery facilities in buildings and large solar installations.
• Develop standards, guidelines and response tactics, including by gathering international experience.
• Undertake analysis and communication that makes complex issues usable for leadership and personnel.
• Drive collaboration with municipal emergency services, Danish Emergency Services, industry and research environments.

About you

We seek a strong professional profile – preferably with emergency services experience. The essential thing is that you can work in a field undergoing rapid development and balance technical knowledge with operational reality.

You may have a relevant advanced academic education, e.g. engineering, social sciences, etc., but this is not a requirement.

You may have experience with analysis, project management and advisory work, ideally within fire, energy and/or technology, as well as strong skills in collecting, evaluating and communicating knowledge to both professionals and decision-makers.

We would like you to have the ability to build cross-government, cross-industry and cross-disciplinary collaboration and an interest in the intersection between green transition and fire safety.

We offer

• A central role in a field of great societal importance and political attention
• Opportunity to set the direction in a rapidly developing area
• An interdisciplinary environment with access to research, industry and the operational emergency services
• A sensible balance between work life and private life

Employment terms

The employment is governed by the prevailing agreement between the Ministry of Finance and a number of academic associations for academics in the state (Academic Agreement).

Depending on your qualifications and competencies, there is the possibility for negotiation of supplements. There is a employer-financed pension scheme attached to the position.

The workplace is in Birkerød.

As an employee of the Danish Emergency Management Agency, you are subject to certain special conditions. You must, among other things, be able to obtain a security clearance and maintain the clearance throughout the employment.
