Emergency Preparedness Coordinator for Vejen Municipality

When the power goes out. When a building catches fire. When a serious incident requires swift action. Then it is essential that the plans work, the collaboration functions, and the organization is ready.

Therefore we are seeking an emergency preparedness coordinator who will help strengthen Vejen Municipality's emergency preparedness and resilience in a time when the demands on crisis management and public safety are greater than ever.

You will be the focal point for the municipality's work with emergency preparedness and crisis management in collaboration with our current emergency management staff member. You will play a central role in developing, coordinating and supporting emergency preparedness work across the entire organization and in collaboration with our partner municipalities as well as external actors such as TrekantBrand and South and West Jutland Police.

We are looking for a colleague who can both maintain an overview, create momentum and build strong relationships. A person who thrives on bringing people together around a common task and translating plans into practice. A person who will make a difference before the crisis arises.

• Participation in relevant working groups, networks and committees.
