GIS Engineer to Huddinge Municipality

Huddinge is a growing municipality in Stockholm with proximity to both the city and nature. As an employee with us, you are an important community builder. Together, we create a sustainable society for everyone who lives, visits, and works in Huddinge.

At the Environmental and Building Permit Administration, approximately 175 employees work across 40 different professional groups. Our employees handle everything from building permits to environmental supervision, maintenance of parks and natural areas, energy and climate advice, and land surveying. Most work in Novumhuset in Flemingsberg, but we also have employees who work from locations closer to our nature and parks. The Environmental and Building Permit Administration operates on behalf of the Building Permit and Supervision Committee and the Nature and Urban Environment Committee. Additionally, the administration prepares materials for the municipal executive committee's climate and environmental committee. The municipal land surveying authority also operates within the administration on behalf of the national authority, Lantmäteriet.

The technical development in the geodata field is rapid, and we want to be part of driving it forward! We offer an exciting and varied job where you, together with a strong team, will help develop Huddinge's geodata operations as part of community development.

The Land Surveying Department is one of the six departments within the Environmental and Building Permit Administration. The department's 37 employees are divided into three units: Geodata, Measurement and Mapping, and the Municipal Land Surveying Authority. The Geodata unit, which you will belong to, is responsible for the management and further development of the municipality's geodata platform and supports and assists other operations in optimizing and increasing the use of geographic information.

Geodata issues carry significant weight within the municipality. Since 2022, there has been a Geodata Strategy adopted by the municipal council, and in 2024, Huddinge began its development towards an uninterrupted digital community building process. There are good opportunities for professional development and collaboration with colleagues within the unit, department, and the entire municipality. You will become part of a culture that is open, friendly, and inclusive.

We are located in modern and beautiful premises in Flemingsberg, just 20 minutes from Stockholm City and within walking distance from Flemingsberg station. You can easily and quickly reach us by public transport such as commuter trains, buses, or regional trains. The building has parking and a bicycle garage.
