Land Negotiator for Community Important Projects

Job Responsibilities

In the role of land negotiator, you are a specialist in land access issues in the Swedish Transport Administration's road and railway projects. You are the link between the Transport Administration and individual landowners, municipalities, authorities, and other stakeholders.

The land negotiator works in all phases of the projects, from planning to completed construction. This, along with the various characteristics of the projects, means that the work has a wide scope and that the issues vary. Some examples of tasks that you perform independently and in collaboration with your colleagues include:

• Assessing and negotiating compensation for encroachments and damages
• Drafting property law agreements
• Contacting affected property owners
• Representing the Transport Administration in land survey proceedings and other authority contacts

Within the land negotiator group, we help each other develop by everyone contributing their strengths and experiences. We value a learning organization with the opportunity to drive and participate in ongoing development work.

For us, it is obvious that you should have a good start to succeed in the role, and as a newly hired land negotiator, you will participate in our internal training package.

The position may involve work outside of office hours as well as travel.

It is also important that you work in a structured and meticulous manner to ensure the quality of your work. Analytical ability and problem-solving skills are also necessary in the role, and we view it positively if you possess these skills.

We are looking for someone who has:

• a university or college degree of at least 180 credits (120 ECTS) in land surveying/community planning or a law degree with a focus on property law, or another university or college degree of at least 180 credits (120 ECTS) combined with work experience that we consider equivalent
