Vacant job

Storumans municipality is a large municipality in Southern Lapland. Approximately 6,000 people live here, with just over half of them in the urban areas of Storuman/Stensele and Tärnaby/Hemavan. For those who enjoy living actively and close to nature, there is a fantastic range of activities available, both in summer and winter. Imagine gliding along a well-prepared ski trail in the magical winter light, a mirror-like mountain lake on a summer evening when the sun never wants to set, a bog in a clearing in the forest glowing like gold from all the ripe cloudberries, or a freshly brewed cup of coffee in a sun pit in April. All this and more are experiences available in our local environment. Our municipality is not just a place to live, but a place where you can enjoy a wonderful life. Storumans municipality is a Sami administrative municipality, and we value knowledge of the Sami language and culture.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

In the technical department, we think in cycles, about the future, and about people. The technical department is part of the municipal executive board's administration and is responsible for many important community functions such as water, sewage, broadband, waste, roads, street lighting, parks, public buildings, and recreational facilities, etc. In the departments, we work with everything from planning to construction.

As a road engineer, you will be responsible for planning, coordinating, developing, and following up on the technical department's operational work and various projects. You will lead and follow up on contracts. You will be responsible for the municipality's roads and streets as well as street lighting systems. Some budget work and financial follow-up are included.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for someone with relevant education, preferably as a road engineer or in construction and civil engineering or other education and experience that the employer deems relevant for the assignment. We expect you to be a proficient user of common software programs. Experience with GIS systems or other relevant applications may be an advantage. Since the job involves many contacts, both internally and externally, you have good communication skills and can express yourself well in spoken and written Swedish.

The role of road engineer is partially complex and can involve juggling many tasks at once. A prerequisite for succeeding in the job is that you are structured, flexible, and able to prioritize. With us, you have great opportunities to plan your work independently while having the support of colleagues and management. Your place of work will be in Storuman or Tärnaby, with occasional travel and work throughout the municipality. Therefore, it is a requirement that you have a B driver's license.
