Project Manager, Resilience Coordination Points

What will you be doing? 

As a project manager, you will oversee the development, implementation, and long-term maintenance of the coordination points. You will work in phases and ensure alignment between policy, implementation, and collaboration with partners.

Pilot phase (first 6 months)

You will coordinate and oversee the implementation of the four pilot coordination points. Together with the relevant partners, you will develop the following:

• what happens at these locations in the event of a crisis;
• what residents can expect;
• how collaboration with municipalities and supply chain partners is organized.

You will coordinate with other safety regions and the national program and develop a practical approach that yields clear lessons learned.

Policy and Decision-Making Phase

You will translate the results of the pilot projects into a regional policy proposal and prepare the ground for decision-making within the management team and the board.

Implementation phase

You will oversee the phased rollout to the other barracks in the region and ensure a practical, feasible implementation. In doing so, you will focus on planning, quality, and collaboration.

Quality assurance and further development

You will help establish agreements regarding management, maintenance, and further development. You will ensure that coordination points are permanently integrated into the organization, including planning, education, training, and drills.

You will work within the Resilience Program and coordinate closely with municipalities, fellow safety regions (including G4 and NW4), and internal teams.
