We are

DA.2 is a unit in the Danish Language Department of the Commission's Directorate-General for Translation. The Department comprises two units (one in Brussels and one in Luxembourg). In addition to the head of unit, DA.2 currently has 15 translators and 3 assistants. We mainly translate documents in the policy areas of culture and education, employment, businesses and industry, internal market, statistics, regional policy, human and animal health, consumers and trade. We regularly translate into Danish from a dozen official EU languages, though primarily from English and, to a lesser extent, French. Occasionally we also translate from Danish into English or French.

We propose

We propose a job combining traditional secretarial and administrative tasks with handling of files for outsourcing, processing and formatting documents, communicating with translation requesters and colleagues both inside and outside the DGT by telephone and e-mail, using specific IT tools relevant to DGT and generally supporting the work of the translators and the head of unit/workflow manager. DGT has a well-organised training programme, particularly in the IT field.

We look for

We are looking for a dynamic colleague, preferably with excellent knowledge of Danish, good communication skills and a service-minded attitude. You will be working as part of a small team of assistants, and in close collaboration with the translators. You should have IT proficiency and good organisational skills. You should be able to integrate into the team but also to work autonomously and under pressure when needed. Good command of English is crucial for professional contacts outside the unit and department. Knowledge of French is an asset.
