You will be involved in realizing the City Council's vision ”People meet people – in Denmark's most beautiful municipality”. The vision obliges us to think sustainably and strategically in all our tasks – in close dialogue with developers and residents. The main focus of your tasks will be regulatory processing and approval.

But with us you are not merely a case handler. You will become an active part of developing new housing areas, business areas and urban spaces.

• Sparring with your colleagues about large and small road and footpath projects.

Your professional and personal profile

• You are an engineer or have another relevant education with experience in the road sector – and preferably with regulatory tasks.
• You have good knowledge of the Road Act, the Private Road Act and road regulations in general.
• You are motivated by cross-disciplinary collaboration – both within your field and across the organization with a holistic approach to task solving.
• You have strong collaboration skills and feel comfortable communicating with both residents, businesses and politicians, including being a strong communicator in writing and speech. You must be able to engage in constructive and professional dialogues with developers and residents.

As a person you are

• development-oriented, efficient and solution-focused and have a curious approach to planning
