‍

Welcome to Schleswig-Holstein's most populous district. With around 1,400 employees, we are committed to the well-being of around 323,000 people in various fields — individually, friendly and committed.

Adapting to the consequences of climate change is becoming increasingly important for important areas of action in the Pinneberg district — from disaster control to water management and regional planning. Like climate protection, we regard climate adaptation as a central cross-cutting task. In order to create a basis for decision-making and planning aid for future adaptation activities in the district, a climate adaptation concept is to be drawn up and a climate adaptation management system set up.

The Climate Adaptation Manager will work as part of the Climate Protection, Sustainability, Mobility and Energy Unit, which is directly assigned to the district administrator. With fresh ideas, passion and expertise, our team of ten employees is committed to climate-relevant topics and tasks in the Pinneberg district.
Would you like to use your professional expertise to help shape the development of climate adaptation management and be responsible for the preparation of a climate adaptation concept? Then apply to join us as a climate adaptation manager!

This is a project position funded by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection, which is to be filled from 01.04.2025 and is initially limited to two years. The position is filled subject to funding.
Follow-up funding may extend the employment relationship for a further three years.
