In this assignment, you will compare our work methods with those of other municipalities, and investigate the potential for increased efficiency through digitalization and AI.

With the support of a mentor, you will work independently on tasks such as mapping current supervision processes and advisory methods, conducting meta-analyses of work methods in other municipalities and industries, and analyzing how supervision and building permit processes can be coordinated. The results will form the basis for recommendations and new work methods. Therefore, it is important that you are someone who enjoys collaborating and contributing to shared learning.

In the project, you will, among other things, have the opportunity to participate in the development of handler support tools, guidelines and assessment criteria, environmental monitoring within energy and climate requirements, and the creation of information materials for facility operators. Therefore, it is important that you are someone who can communicate clearly, both orally and in writing, adapt information to different target audiences, and make complex issues clear and educational.
