Two engaged generalists who want to work with climate actions in construction within the Climate, Environment and Technical Administration

We are looking for a

colleague

with insight

in LCA in construction and with urban-strategic insight for the Buildings and Civil Engineering unit in the Climate, Environment and Technical Administration.

Do you want to make a real difference for the climate and urban development in Copenhagen and help realise the ambitions in the municipality's Climate Strategy 2035?

About the job and your tasks

Position with focus on LCA in construction

The team is the secretariat for Copenhagen Climate Partnership for Construction, where we, among other things, work with how LCA data across buildings can create new insights into how the CO2 footprint from construction can be reduced. We are looking for a colleague who is a whiz at Excel and can contribute to the climate partnership by developing, collecting and communicating knowledge about construction with a focus on LCA and other data. Your tasks will include

• Further development of an LCA platform, including dissemination of data and results based on Excel and PowerBI
• Lead data-related projects and ensure progress and results in collaboration with others
• Create buy-in and strong relationships across the organisation and with partners in the climate partnership
• Contribute to the climate partnership in general – particularly with regard to communication, event hosting and other sub-projects under the partnership on e.g. construction practices, materials, economy, risk mapping, etc.

Position with focus on city-strategic development tasks

In the team we have project management for several projects under Climate Strategy 2035 with a focus on climate actions in construction. They range from a focus on densification and transformation of existing building stock, to the adaptation of the municipality's own permit handling to collaboration on reducing concrete in infrastructure and the transition to emission-free work machines. Our new colleague shall strengthen and develop efforts within these areas and contribute to cross-cutting, strategic projects and political servicing. Your tasks will include

• Support and develop the transformation agenda (including the pool ‘Plads til flere – i det eksisterende byggeri’) – read more at Plads til flere - i det eksisterende byggeri | Byfornyelsespuljer
