The project leader will work on the further development of municipal support to activate and assist residents in switching to gas-free alternatives. This is a complex task where policy, implementation, technology, resident communication, and collaboration with various internal and external parties converge. A project leader with knowledge of the heat transition, home sustainability, participation, and project-based work within an administrative environment is needed.
The assignment requires organizing and coordinating activities, further developing support products for residents, and strengthening the organization's implementation capacity. Good coordination is necessary with colleagues, implementing partners, energy cooperatives, and ongoing research, such as the exploration of a broad Energy House within a municipal cooperation organization.
The project leader also plays an important role in advancing the first neighborhoods for which an implementation plan has been drawn up and in increasing knowledge within the existing advisory team within the municipality. The goal is to achieve, within one year, an integrated overview of opportunities, bottlenecks, and priorities for the heat transition, including concrete advice for the further development of the support offering, the organization, and the implementation in the coming years.
