Suderbyn infrastructure team works with everything related to the physical infrastructure in our ecovillage. Examples of tasks within the domain are; buliding an outdoor kitchen with natural materials and rocket stoves, maintenance of our cars and bikes, cleaning the workshop and fixing broken tools, taking trash to the recycling station, fixing the sewage system when the shower clogs, and much more.

As part of the team your days will be filled out by a diverse range of physical and mental tasks varying from small and quick maintenance tasks, to bigger building projects that require planning, gathering of materials and organising the execution, but also planning and organising weekly meetings and prioritising tasks according to necessity, time pressure and available resources. Even though your main focus will be within this domain, the position leaves many opportunities to experience the diversity of experiences that ecovillage life has to offer.

The philosophy is to follow permaculture design principles in our plans and processes, in order to minimise the domain's environmental footprints and its use of resources (time, money, materials, etc.). We are all continuously learning to navigate the endless possibilities of designs, functions, techniques, materials, processes, beautification etc. to figure out which combinations are best aligned with our philosophy.

The existing team is composed of people with different backgrounds, skills and experiences. Depending on the people in Suderbyn at any given time, the knowledge and experience levels of the team differ, but we help each other by asking other team members (sometimes even members who have left) for advice throughout any process. So, even those people who have little or no experience in the domain can successfully complete even the most complicated tasks, and learn any skill. There is always new knowledge to learn with each new project, and we hope that you are open to take on a pedagogical role and are ready to be both teacher and student in different situations.
