Communications Center Operator

We are looking for new colleagues for our guard team in the Danish Defence Intelligence and Security Agency's Communications Center Copenhagen. Here you sit in the digital engine room and ensure that important communication reaches its destination – quickly, securely and accurately. It is not just "a position". It is a function that binds the entire Defence together – nationally and internationally.

What is the job about?

You will become part of a team that has around-the-clock duty and that works with classified communication systems and military networks.

You will monitor, send and receive critical information between ministries, Defence authorities, agencies and embassies.

It is here that you can feel that your work has real significance – every single day.

You must be able to write and communicate clearly in writing in both Danish and English.

Who are you?

• You thrive on taking responsibility.
• You may have experience as a radio, console or O-space operator – or from another technical emergency function.
• You do not necessarily have to be passionate about IT – but you are curious, and you want to learn.
• You work well both alone and with others, and you understand that precision and reliability are essential.
• You can operate in both Danish and English, and you are ready to attend courses in Denmark and abroad.

We take care of the rest

You do not need to be an expert from the start. We train you continuously – both in Copenhagen and via national and NATO courses. You also learn everything through "on the job training", and we thoroughly prepare you to solve the tasks.

What can you expect?

• Shift work with a stable rotation.
• Opportunity for further education and development.
• A position at the front line of the Defence's digital infrastructure.
• To become part of a section where the good collegial community is highly prioritized and where we safeguard the good working environment and the strong camaraderie.
