Traffic and Urban Environment Unit - an exciting workplace in development!

At the Community Building Administration, we are driven by commitment and the desire to together create, preserve, and develop Borlänge into an attractive place to live, visit, and work in - both now and in the future. There is a strong willingness to grow and take on new challenges. We strive for a culture characterized by positivity and lack of prestige, where it is easy to raise issues and receive support. We see development as a natural part of our work and have a structured focus on improvements. We enjoy working together and value the balance between work and leisure, actively working to be a modern and sustainable workplace.

An important part of the administration is the Traffic and Urban Environment Unit, where development is the focus. In recent years, we have made changes to clarify roles and responsibilities between Borlänge Municipality and Borlänge Energi. Today, Borlänge Energi is responsible, on behalf of the municipality, for the operation, maintenance, and planning within the urban environment area.

The unit consists of a dedicated team including a traffic planner, a landscape architect, two traffic engineers, and a traffic officer. The Traffic and Urban Environment Unit is part of the Strategy and Property operations, which also includes Municipal Properties and the Land and Exploitation Unit. Together, we belong to the Community Building Administration, a management contributing to shaping Borlänge's future.

As a new manager, you will have a mentor available as a sounding board for leadership issues. You will receive a thorough introduction to leadership and Borlänge Municipality's leadership development program. In addition, there are several internal training courses available, including in areas such as work environment, rehabilitation, and recruitment. Support functions such as HR, IT, and finance are also available to assist you in your role.

Of course, our values attract you!
- I am here for the residents of Borlänge
- I enjoy challenges
- I approach every person with openness
