Hey, I’m probably not the best person to give an answer for this, but since you’re not getting comments…
To keep track of progress, you could create dashboards, maybe using Python or JavaScript. Would managing the git repo include CI/CD? The role sounds like it involves some DevOps components. If so, push for access to Python so you can automate some of these tasks. Sounds like it involves some project management stuff as well, so you could take the opportunity to learn how to set stuff up in Jira (if that’s what is being used).
Do you have a CS degree? If not, I’d suggest starting an online CS degree such as Oregon State University’s or the Georgia Tech masters. Get a feel for how intense the job will be first though. I suspect that, since it’s public admin in the EU, and if you’ve been able to automate some tasks, it will be fairly relaxed. Doing a degree while working full time is still exhausting though.
Look up job descriptions for DevOps , or try to find to find the role it most closely matches with, and go deep. Find an excuse to use the tools/methods typically used in the job postings you see, and you’ll be in a good position to find one of those jobs after a while. If they won’t allow you to, practice using those tools outside of work, or get involved with open source projects.
