Employee for land zone administration in Sorø Municipality

There is full activity in the development of Sorø Municipality, which places demands on the entire planning and land-use area.

Therefore we are looking for a professionally skilled employee who would like to contribute to the municipality's authority work within the landzone area.

Sorø Municipality is a municipality that contains many valuable assets, including beautiful nature with forests, meadows and several lakes. In addition, Sorø has a rich history dating back to the early Middle Ages, which has created a unique cultural and architectural environment in the municipality. As a landzone employee in Sorø Municipality you will work in a municipality where nature and cultural history are anchored in planning, which creates an exciting broad professional scope. Specifically, we are in the process of preparing a landscape analysis of the entire municipality.

We dream of a colleague who has experience with landzone cases. Your primary task will be the administration of landzone cases, where you will engage in dialogue with the municipality's citizens and businesses. Your tasks will also include administration of the camping regulations, the summer house act, provisions of the Nature Conservation Act on building and protection lines, access, signage etc. You will thus become familiar with a wide range of issues related to the use of the open country.

It is expected that you can work independently with the tasks and are not afraid to dive into new things. You should thrive in a work environment based on a high degree of trust in your abilities and must therefore be able to plan and manage a large portion of your tasks.

In Plan & Building you will become part of the landzone group, a professionally well-functioning group characterized by a high degree of knowledge sharing/sparring, helpfulness and with room to laugh together. We place great emphasis on supplementing and supporting each other.

We offer

• A high degree of responsibility within your own work area.
• An exciting job with plenty of challenges in an organization in continual development.
• A varied workday with different tasks within the landzone area in particular, but also other subject areas. There is an opportunity to gain a broad range of duties in the field of work, as we are a small municipality and rely on good interdisciplinary collaboration.
• A good working environment with focus on high well-being, where cooperation and knowledge sharing are important, and where social interaction is also prioritized. We have, for example, a cake club and a staff association.
• Opportunity for ½ hour of exercise per week – currently there are both running and walking clubs,
• Opportunity for home working, 1-2 days per week, in a scope adjusted to the individual’s task solution.

We are looking for a candidate who

• Has an interest in, and preferably at least 1-2 years of experience with landzone administration.
• Can work independently, as you will be responsible for preparing your own decisions and analyses.
• Is structured and skilled at creating an overview, prioritizing and planning tasks and projects.
• Is proactive and actively contributes input in connection with work tasks.
• Is strong in both oral and written communication.
• Has knowledge of GIS.
