Värmdö is the meeting place of the archipelago with a unique combination of the serene beauty of nature and a more urban lifestyle. Our mission is not one but many: schools, real estate, social services, ports, healthcare, libraries, care, and many more. We strive to ensure that all residents of Värmdö can live a rich and free life. We want to be the ones who enable the dream of a vibrant and secure environment for homes, families, and businesses.

To fully succeed, we must have many and extensive competencies and work together for a common and trusting work culture, built on brave, responsible employees who understand the needs and wishes of the residents. This is what we call One Värmdö, One Administration.

The Technical Operations Department is one of eight departments within the Community Building Office.

The Technical Operations Department consists of activities related to roads, parks, sports, nature and outdoor life, as well as outdoor environments. The department consists of about 45 employees. The operations are largely managed in-house for maintenance and care assignments.

The department is primarily responsible for the operation and maintenance of the municipality's public facilities, such as roads, parks, playgrounds, natural areas, sports facilities, and outdoor environments on municipal properties. The department has management responsibility for public facilities, which includes maintenance and reinvestment planning for the facilities and is the receiving party for new and upcoming projects. This provides great opportunities for development with others in a continuous learning environment.
