The Climate, Environment and Technical Administration at the City of Copenhagen seeks a development-oriented project manager for green urban-life streets (3-year temporary position)

Copenhagen must be a CO2-neutral and green big city that protects the good Copenhagen life. We will, among other things, create safe urban neighborhoods with meeting places and green urban life streets in close cooperation with Copenhageners. You can help make this a reality.

About the job

You will become part of the Building Renewal Unit in the Climate, Environment and Technical Administration.

We administer several different pools that can be applied for by Copenhageners. Pools that are intended to ensure that we can create a coherent and diverse city, where housing standards are raised, energy consumption is reduced, and the urban space can be made greener.

Your work will primarily be linked to initiating and running a new pool to support citizen-driven wishes for green urban life streets. The pool runs from 2027-2030. In addition, you may participate in selected development projects and possibly participate in cross-department project groups aimed at urban development projects with close citizen involvement.

Key tasks in the position

• Communication and guidance about the pool to support citizen-driven wishes for green urban life streets, including hosting workshops with citizen groups on the design of their urban life street
• Processing applications to the pool and ensuring formalities regarding grant allocation
• Prepare political recommendations for the implementation of support for concrete projects
• Coordinate with other authorities regarding applicants’ obtaining various permits
• Coordinating project management between involved units
• Communicating applicants’ interests to consultants, authorities and politicians
• Evaluation and reporting as well as possible handover to municipal operation

About you

We are looking for a project manager who can join a team of employees with high professional standards and strong engagement. We expect you to be development-oriented, self-starting, and have a good eye for the potentials in the concrete street sections beyond being able to handle the citizen-involvement tasks in the administration of the pool.

You must be outgoing and able to collaborate across the internal university but also externally with Copenhageners, applicants and the technical advisors linked to the urban life street projects.

As a project manager you will act as a mediator between the administration, citizens and politicians and must be able to represent all parties’ interests in the best possible way. You must also be a good colleague with strong social skills and be willing to help with the unit’s other projects when needed.

Your qualifications

• Experience with or knowledge of road regulations and design of roads and urban spaces
• Experience with or interest in project management and case processing
• Experience with cross-disciplinary co-creation processes and citizen involvement
• Development- and process-oriented and keen to create the framework for the good Copenhagen life

Experience from or knowledge about working in a municipality or other politically governed organization is an advantage, but not a requirement.

You will become part of the unit Building Renewal in the Mobility, Climate Adaptation and City Maintenance Department under the Climate, Environment and Technical Administration.
