Would you like to help ensure good geodata, develop our GIS solutions and make data an even stronger tool in the municipality's work with climate, traffic, emergency services, planning and much more?

Therefore we are looking for a GIS and Data Consultant who wants to work with operation, maintenance and development of the municipality's GIS solutions and help make geographic data accessible and usable for our colleagues.

You will become part of the Technical and Environmental Department's Data Team, where we work with geodata, databases, digital solutions and training in the use of data for use in Technical and Environmental.

Your tasks

You will have a diverse everyday life, where you both solve operational tasks, develop solutions and help colleagues get the most out of GIS.

Your main tasks will include, among other things, to

• Maintain and update shared public geographical data, including GeoDanmark data, so that data are correct, up-to-date and usable.
• Take care of operation, setup and development of the municipality's browser-based GIS system, SpatialSuite.

• Participate in internal and inter-mmunicipal development tasks and knowledge sharing in various networks within the GIS area.
• Contribute to the municipality's geographic data and GIS solutions functioning stably and creating value in daily task solving.

You will have a broad contact surface in the organization and the opportunity to influence the development of the municipality's GIS area in collaboration with both colleagues and users.

• FME – for data processing, transformation and automation of workflows.

• PostgreSQL/PostGIS and SQL Server – for storage, administration and use of data.

We continuously work to ensure the quality of our data, train users and develop solutions that make it easier for the municipality's employees to use data in their task solving.

Who are you?

We imagine that you have a relevant education or experience within GIS, geodata, IT or data processing. Your educational background is not decisive. The most important is that you have the right professional competencies, a desire to learn and an interest in developing good digital solutions.

• Are service-minded and good at communicating technical issues in an understandable way.
• Work in a structured way and have an eye for both detail and the overall solution.

It is an advantage if you have experience with several of our systems, but you do not need to be a specialist in them all. We value your professional curiosity, your ability to collaborate and your desire to create solutions that work in practice.

Who will be your colleagues?
