Additionally, you provide support and advice to those who use the collective maps, including contractors and others performing ground works.

The role also places high demands on you being quality-conscious and meticulous, and it is important that you can collaborate well with others. We would like you to have a strong technical interest and to come up with ideas and suggest new approaches, especially when it comes to exploring the opportunities that digitalization brings to our operations. We place great emphasis on personal suitability as well as motivation and interest in the position.
