Analyst for Secure Green Transition and Digitalization

Would you help shape the emergency services of the future?

The green transition is gaining ground and the emergency services must keep up. For that 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 of 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, the preparation of analyses, etc., and we are also the hub for the national response database for the fire services. In addition, we support municipal emergency services with guidance and supervision in connection with their risk-based sizing plans.

We are currently 21 employees with diverse educational backgrounds – both in emergency management and academic profiles. We solve tasks in an informal, professional and open environment, where there is always room for sparring with good colleagues.

About the position

The area of the emergency services is changing due to the green transition. New materials and technologies are moving into the built environment – battery facilities, solar cells, timber in load-bearing structures and more complex building designs – creating a more unpredictable risk picture.

As an analyst in the team for Safe green transition and digitalisation, you are a central hub 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, competence development, and for bridging the operational emergency services, authorities, research and industry.

Your main tasks

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

About you

We are looking for a strong professional profile – preferably with emergency management experience. The crucial 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, preferably within fire, energy, and/or technology, as well as strong skills in gathering, assessing and communicating knowledge to both professionals and decision-makers.

We would like you to have the ability to collaborate across authorities, industries and professional disciplines 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 influence a rapidly developing area
• An interdisciplinary environment with access to research, industry and the operative emergency services
• A reasonable balance between work life and private life
