Launch Your Career in Digital Planning
To support the development of digital spatial plans for municipalities in Denmark and Greenland, we are looking for a Student Assistant to join our team. Here you will gain insight into planning in a digital context. We are a motivated group of specialists working alongside our clients on some of Denmark’s most forward-thinking and digitally driven planning projects. This is a great opportunity to apply your academic knowledge, explore digital planning, and enhance your abilities in a highly collaborative environment. You are expected to work for 5-8 hours per week.
On day-to-day basis, you will be working with the following digital tools:
- COWI PLAN: COWI's website tool for the creation, communication, and registration of municipal plans, local development plans, and sector plans.
- GIS: Desktop GIS (e.g., QGIS) and Web GIS (Mapcentia VIDI) for data processing and dissemination of geographic data.
- SQL: PostgreSQL and SQL Server. Used in database setups.
Your skills. Our team. Together, we design the future.
The first step to success in this role is that you are eager to collaborate with the people around you, whether they are colleagues, partners or customers. Developing ties with others is something you do by acting respectfully and delivering on your promises. And you never get set in your ways but keep exploring new insights and ways to improve.
In addition, you:
- Are in the early stages of your studies and keen to explore the world of digital planning and geographic data.
- Have the confidence to suggest smarter ways of doing things.
- Take initiative, work, and ensure tasks are delivered efficiently and to a high standard.
- Are adaptable and comfortable with a workflow that may fluctuate depending on project timelines.
- Appreciate a supportive work environment where collaboration, friendliness, and a good sense of humor are part of the culture.
