Departementet for Fiskeri og Fangst

At the Department of Fisheries and Hunting, we work with something that means a great deal for Greenland: the living resources in the sea and in nature – and how we manage them responsibly, so they are also there tomorrow. Our everyday work is about creating the framework for sustainable fishing and a catch that takes into account the natural basis, the needs of society, and the people who live off the industry.

We are part of the Naalakkersuisut, and our tasks range from policy development and legislation to quotas, licenses, and international collaborations. This means that we work closely with many different parties – from professionals and organizations to municipalities and international partners – and that we often balance complex expertise with very concrete decisions that have significant practical implications.

As a workplace, we are characterized by a strong professional environment, where one has the opportunity to delve deep, ask the difficult questions, and be part of finding solutions that can last in the long term. We emphasize integrity, collaboration, and respect – both internally and in the way we engage with the outside world.

If you thrive on responsibility, enjoy working with socially important issues, and are motivated by seeing your work make a difference for Greenland, you will find that the department is a place where your efforts are taken seriously – and where you can develop both professionally and personally.
