The Planning and Rural Districts Agency is seeking a support and data quality officer for Plandata.dk

Do you want to help the municipalities with Plandata.dk and at the same time help ensure the quality of the data used in planning and property valuations?

Then you might be our new colleague in Team Plandata and Digitalisation.

We are looking for a colleague who will take responsibility for our support to the municipalities nationwide and help ensure that Plandata.dk functions well for those who use the system in everyday life.

About the position

In Team Plandata and Digitalisation we operate and develop Plandata.dk, which is the national digital register for plans under the Planning Act.

Here the municipalities register and publish among other things local plans and municipal plans. The information is used by authorities,

businesses and citizens and is used, among other things, as the basis for property valuations. Therefore, it is important that the data are correct and of high quality.

We seek a colleague who will help ensure both good support to the municipalities and high data quality in Plandata.dk.

You will play a central role in our daily collaboration with the municipalities, where we receive around 100 inquiries per month.

You will be responsible for organizing the daily support in collaboration with our student assistants in the team and to ensure that the municipalities receive competent and helpful guidance.

Furthermore you will be responsible for ensuring that experiences and requests from the support function are translated into proposals on how Plandata.dk can be improved as an IT system.

You will also contribute to testing new features and updating guidance material, before the new features are used by the municipalities.

An other important part of the job will be working with data quality. You will be involved in GIS- and data analyses that identify registration errors and gaps in Plandata.dk,

and subsequently plan and coordinate the work to have them corrected in close collaboration with the municipalities.

It is about both creating an overview of data quality and ensuring that the analyses lead to concrete improvements of the registrations.

We also see exciting possibilities in using AI to support the work with data quality.

For example it could be to identify errors and inconsistencies in large data sets or make quality assurance more efficient.

You will have the opportunity to be involved in exploring and testing how new technologies can make a difference in practice.

We will of course provide a thorough introduction to Plandata.dk, and you will become part of a professional environment where we help each other and continually develop our solutions.

Your tasks

You will have a varied daily life, where you work with concrete inquiries, coordination and development. Your tasks will include, among others to:

• Be responsible for the daily municipal support, including coordinating and following up on inquiries in collaboration with student assistants.
• Guide the municipalities on registering and using Plandata.dk, both by phone, in writing and in meetings.
• Ensure that error reports and development wishes from the municipalities are gathered, prioritized and taken forward to our IT development.
• Test new features and changes in Plandata.dk before they are launched, with focus on user friendliness, functionality and the municipalities' workflows.
• Prepare and maintain manuals and communicate changes and new possibilities in the system.
• Contribute to improving the data quality in Plandata.dk, among other things through systematic quality assurance of the municipalities' registrations.
• Be involved in developing our support so that we more proactively prevent problems and make it easier for the municipalities to solve their tasks.

There is a good opportunity to influence the tasks and take responsibility for your own initiatives.

You will work closely with colleagues who work with planning, geodata, system development and data quality.

About you

We imagine that you have a relevant higher education, for example in geography, geoinformatics, planning, IT or public administration.

But your specific educational background is not decisive.

The most important is that you enjoy helping others, have a good technical understanding and can create structure in a day with many different tasks and inquiries.

We attach particular importance to the following

• Are welcoming and good at communicating with different people, even when the issues are technical or complicated.
• Work independently and in a structured way and follow your tasks through to the end.
• Have a flair for IT and desire to understand how digital systems work.
• Can keep an overview, prioritize tasks and coordinate with others.

It is an advantage if you already have knowledge of GIS, the Planning Act, municipal planning or user support, but not a requirement.

You can be both newly qualified or have several years of experience. We primarily value that you are curious, take responsibility and want to learn.
