Lease Manager at the Fortifications Agency

The mission of the Domain Unit is to manage forests and provide support to the relevant units of the Fortifications Agency regarding forest-related issues and the management of hunting, fishing, and agriculture. We are now looking for a Lease Manager who will be responsible for agricultural, hunting, and fishing management in central Sweden.

The Fortifications Agency is one of Sweden's largest property owners. We manage approximately 370,000 hectares of land, often with high biological diversity and significant natural values. More than half of the area is protected in some form, such as nature reserves and Natura 2000 areas.

Your daily life as a Lease Manager

The job involves independently managing and developing the defense-adapted agricultural, hunting, and fishing management in central Sweden, in consultation with other Lease Managers. You will have a lot of contact and close dialogue with, among others, the Armed Forces and the tenants in your daily work.

The position involves travel, mainly one- and few-day assignments to our service locations, lands, and properties. You will visit hunting, fishing, and agricultural rights in your area, which consists of approximately 150 hunting and fishing rights and about fifty agricultural leases.

The management includes, among other things, contract handling, negotiations, project management, administration, such as updates in our property support system, document management, as well as referral and investigation work.

Qualifications

We are looking for someone with a university degree, college degree, or equivalent in a relevant field such as land surveying, agronomy, forestry, or game management. You also have good environmental and conservation knowledge and a good understanding of land management issues. You speak and write fluently in Swedish and have basic knowledge of English in speech and writing. You have good IT skills, preferably in property systems and GIS (geographic information systems). A driver's license (B) is required as travel is part of the job.

In addition to the above, it is advantageous if you have a competence certificate in forestry and agriculture and/or training in wildlife management, hunting license, or similar. Knowledge of property and/or tenancy law, negotiation experience, and contract handling is also advantageous.

To be considered for the position, we expect you to have several years of relevant work experience. Experience as a lease manager or land manager is advantageous. Experience in the green sector, public administration in the field, and knowledge of total defense operations is also advantageous.

You are structured and work systematically through clear processes by carefully planning your work. You ensure that tasks are completed on time and according to deadlines. You are also relationship-building, take initiative in social contexts, and find it easy to create new and lasting relationships. Furthermore, you are stable, handle stress constructively, and maintain a good mood even in pressured situations.

Together with about 1200 colleagues at the Fortifications Agency across the country, you work with a unique property portfolio to strengthen total defense in Sweden. We are proud of the socially important mission we have, where we build, manage, operate, and develop advanced technology in critical infrastructure.
