You will help realise the 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.

But with us you won't just be a caseworker. You will be an active part of the development of new residential areas, business areas and urban spaces.

• You are motivated by cross-disciplinary collaboration – both within the professional area and across the organization with a holistic approach to task solving.
• You have strong teamwork skills and feel at ease in communication with both residents, businesses and politicians, including a strong communicator both in writing and speech. You must be able to engage in constructive and professional dialogues with developers and residents.

As a person you are
