An important part of the role is to represent the city's interests towards the port operator CMP (Copenhagen Malmö Port AB) and other external stakeholders. Together with CMP, you will drive and follow up investments in the port and plan for handover to operations. You have overall responsibility for ensuring that projects deliver according to set goals and contribute to the port's long-term development.

You have at least five years of experience working with the management of land, buildings, and facilities or as a project manager in infrastructure. The role also requires experience collaborating with external actors and stakeholders as well as the ability to follow up and report on project finances.

It is advantageous if you have experience in design, investment projects, and management of port facilities. Experience in port operations or another similar technical environment is seen as a benefit, as well as insight into how municipal investments and development projects are driven from planning to implementation.

You have good knowledge of Swedish and English, both spoken and written. Knowledge of CAD, a good understanding of Danish, and experience with project tools that support planning, follow-up, and reporting are advantageous.
