Vacant job

Building and maintaining roads and infrastructure is significant. Contributing to community development is even greater. With us, you can do both. Due to an upcoming retirement, we are now looking for a site manager for operations and maintenance for our establishment in Vimmerby. At Svevia, we combine the community and team spirit of a small company with the stability of a large corporation. Here, you will have the opportunity to develop as a road specialist - with commitment, collaboration, and responsibility.

Your mission as a site manager

As a site manager, you will work on various projects with a focus on our operations and maintenance work. You will have a central and project-like role where your main task will be to be responsible for the entire process, from careful planning and resource allocation to execution and follow-up of the work we perform. The role of site manager does not involve direct personnel responsibility; however, you play an important role for our skilled employees and also act as a coordinating contact for our subcontractors. Furthermore, you will support the site manager in daily tasks such as customer contact, production management, financial follow-up, and invoicing.

With us, you will have the opportunity to combine operational responsibility with strategic planning, while ensuring that your projects achieve set goals with high customer satisfaction. During the winter season, the work may intensify, and you will then manage multiple units and work teams simultaneously, which requires good prioritization skills and a solution-focused mindset.

The position is full-time. You will be based at our office in Vimmerby and report to the site manager. The position includes both winter and summer preparedness, where our basic maintenance extends from Horn in the north to Ålem in the south. At Svevia, we apply individual salary setting. The start date will be agreed upon.

Who are you?

To succeed in this role, we see it as a requirement that you have:

• B driver's license
• A background characterized by an interest in working on roads.
• Good computer skills and an interest in digital working methods and processes
• Good knowledge of Swedish spoken and written

We consider it an advantage if you have:

• Experience in operations and maintenance / winter road maintenance
• Experience from a responsible position in a similar industry
• Relevant post-secondary education from, for example, university or relevant vocational training

Your personality is important to us! As a person, you are motivated by structure and order while having an administrative streak. Furthermore, you have the ability to prioritize in a daily life where the pace can change quickly. Varied and dynamic workdays are something you thrive in while maintaining focus on what is most important. You have a helpful attitude that makes you a natural team player, and your personal commitment and desire to develop drive both yourself and the team forward in all situations. You are a confident and trustworthy person who has the ability to create good collaborations with both customers and employees.

With us, you contribute to a larger whole. We plow for the family with children heading to the mountains. We ensure that the business's goods transport reaches its destination and make sure that streets, squares, and parks are clean and tidy. Additionally, we protect lives on the road through our offering in traffic arrangements.
