Marinehjemmeværnet is seeking a strong administrative profile for the Establishment area

Are you motivated by responsibility, good collegiality and a busy everyday life where no two days are the same, then you may very well be the one we are looking for in a newly created position in the Marinehjemmeværnet’s staff.

About us

Marinehjemmeværnet, in close cooperation with the Navy, performs a range of tasks within coastal surveillance, patrolling, sea rescue and marine environmental protection. Together with the Police, the Danish Tax Administration and the municipalities, we also participate in solving a number of societal tasks.

We cover all of Denmark and are responsible for establishing, educating and training about 2500 active volunteer sailors who form the operational spearhead of Marinehjemmeværnet’s mission-ready forces. In recent years, Marinehjemmeværnet’s military profile has been sharpened to ensure that the voluntarily led, operational capabilities can be fully utilized within the framework of Denmark’s defense plans.

We are 45 dedicated civilian and military employees who, based in the offices in Ringsted and Brabrand, support the volunteers’ many activities at their local flotillas and aboard Marinehjemmeværnet’s vessels and other units. We work in an informal culture with many varied tasks, where everyday life can often be busy and unpredictable.

We place high importance on employee well-being and development and emphasize a good working environment. Service in Marinehjemmeværnet is quite special in that we work for a voluntary, unpaid force that is driven and motivated more by desire than by duty.

We value independence, responsibility and freedom to act high on the agenda. The daily life in the staff is characterized by an open and informal tone.

• Advise and guide Marinehjemmeværnet’s Leadership.
• Work with project definitions and ensure quality assurance of these.
• Case handling within the Establishment area.
• Ensure coherence between Marinehjemmeværnet’s needs and the central case processing at the Home Guard Command.
• Monitor and validate Marinehjemmeværnet’s domiciles nationwide, including identifying issues requiring further handling, prioritization or escalation.
• Support Marinehjemmeværnet’s prioritization of establishment needs across flotillas.
• Maintain and relay an overview of the status of Marinehjemmeværnet’s domiciles, current challenges and priorities, as well as proposed measures.
