Project Manager in Local Supply

The Swedish Prison and Probation Service is growing – we are building new, renovating, and expanding, and we are now looking for more employees. Our most important goal is to reduce recidivism – to break the vicious cycle. If we succeed, society becomes safer and more secure for everyone. We are the authority responsible for prisons, probation, detention centers, and client transport.

The responsibility for the authority's local supply lies with the property director and their project unit. Within the unit, there are two sections for local supply projects with 19 project managers specialized in working with local adaptations and local supply projects. Currently, around 50 larger local supply projects and smaller office adaptations or kitchen renovations are underway.

JOB DESCRIPTION

A local supply project within the Swedish Prison and Probation Service is complex with many aspects to consider, where there are challenges and sometimes contradictions; work environment, caring environment, security, fire protection, living environment, suicide perspective, environment, extensive logistics, management economy, and flexibility to name a few.

The Swedish Prison and Probation Service is a tenant with special requirements, where there is a great deal of knowledge and commitment within the core operations regarding how their premises should be designed. Regardless of standardization and efficiency, the construction of a correctional facility is a complex and relatively lengthy process. To shape the best possible premises while also being a professional requirement setter, competent individuals are needed to be the link between the core operations and the property owner's construction project – this is where you come in. Compared to a project manager during a contract, your role here is a coordinating function to ensure that the premises are adapted according to the needs of the operations and the functions of the Swedish Prison and Probation Service. However, the complexity of the operations means that it is a significant advantage if you have experience in design and production to question choices and changes, both internally and externally. The property owner's representative is always the builder in property projects.

As a project manager, you are responsible for leading the construction parts of the Swedish Prison and Probation Service during a local supply project, whose phases are referred to according to our project model as pre-study, planning, and production phases. You will have your team, a project group consisting of local sub-project managers and area expertise such as IT, security, and HR. You will be responsible for several projects simultaneously, ranging from early pre-studies to completed projects handed over to management.

The work may involve travel several days a week within Sweden, preferably by train, but a driver's license is required. Depending on the project location, the position may occasionally involve a hotel stay during the week.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for someone who has good collaboration skills, relates to others in a responsive and smooth manner. In the role, you take initiative, start activities, and achieve results.

You have the ability to analyze and break down problems into their components and solve complex issues. Furthermore, you lead, motivate, and empower others with the authority needed to effectively achieve common goals.

For us, it is important that you share the Swedish Prison and Probation Service's fundamental values of a humane view of people, respect for the individual, and belief in the human will and ability to develop. You are also aware of and understand how background, culture, and group affiliation affect yourself and others. Furthermore, you are expected to contribute to ensuring that everyone is treated equally with your approach. We place great emphasis on personal suitability.

• A degree in civil engineering or equivalent education combined with experience that the Swedish Prison and Probation Service deems relevant
