Student assistant for the Section for Systems and Integration Management

Are you systematic and do you have a flair for keeping order in clearly complex data models, or do you simply think that putting things in order is a celebration?

We need someone who can help our engineers keep track of the documentation and make their everyday life easier. If you are used to neatly organizing all your files into folders on the computer and love planning in Excel, then this position is for you.

About us

You will be part of the Systems and Integration Management section, a team of 10 people who together constitute the division's system management element. The aim is to ensure technical coordination of projects, verification and validation of projects, preparation and maintenance of an actual system architecture in the division as well as modeling this architecture. All of this must take place in collaboration with the responsible caseworkers, capacity managers and users.

We are physically located in the coordination department for the division. We procure everything from shoelaces to battle tanks, and our task is to make sure all things work together. We work across all specialties in the division and also have direct contact with both the air and maritime departments.

We are mostly civilians with an engineering background in our section. We do not take ourselves too seriously and have a very free and friendly tone. Over the years we have had many student assistants and have become good at making it work. We are very inclusive, and even if you are “only” 15 hours, we insist that you are WITHIN the section completely.

• Participation in project meetings and help with decision minutes.

All of this must be possible to do at (up to) 15 hours per week, by direct agreement with your immediate supervisor.

There are no formal educational requirements from your side. We will teach you everything. You will have the opportunity to shape a workday that fits with your studies, by agreement with the deputy chief.
