Civil Preparedness and Safety - Coordinator Roles

Civil preparedness and safety are two prioritized issues for the municipality. We are now appointing two coordinator roles that will work at a municipal level to strengthen this important work! The roles are placed in the unit for civil preparedness, which is part of the municipal management office's staff function. You will be part of a team consisting of four people, working with preparedness and safety under the leadership of the municipality's new preparedness and safety manager.

As an applicant, you have a strategic perspective and a pronounced holistic view, regardless of the role. At the same time, you are attentive, flexible, and needs-driven, with the ability to independently translate direction into practical action and make things happen. You are communicative, solution-oriented, and build trusting relationships and clear forms of collaboration. It is natural for you to collaborate closely with others internally and externally, based on the needs of the issues you drive. In short - you are a driving force that makes a difference!
