Project Manager New Asylum Location

Project overview

You will independently manage the process of finding a new location for a COA reception center. This is a politically and socially sensitive task where different interests and perspectives converge. You will ensure a careful, transparent, and traceable process, appropriately involving residents, stakeholders, and the municipal council.

The process must lead to a concrete, well-substantiated proposal for a suitable location that is ready for administrative decision-making. You will also develop the framework for agreements in the form of an administrative agreement. The formal decision-making on the location rests with the competent municipal bodies.

Within the agreed administrative frameworks, you will independently determine your approach, planning, and methodology. You are responsible for achieving the agreed-upon results and will coordinate with the client and relevant stakeholders at necessary moments.
