Job Description

Ekerö Municipality is in an exciting phase of development! We are growing and have many interesting projects underway. When the Bypass is completed, Ekerö will be even closer to Stockholm – and the opportunities to develop our municipality will be even greater. Here, you will work in an environment that combines the historical and scenic with modern urban development. Our planning unit works with everything from urban development projects to small-scale detailed plans, villa densification to vibrant rural development. We are now looking for a temporary planning architect for one year, as one of our colleagues is going on parental leave.

We are looking for someone who wants to step into the role of temporary planning architect for one year – with responsibility for their own projects, detailed plans, and exciting collaborations. You will lead planning processes from idea to reality, in close dialogue with colleagues, developers, citizens, and politicians. With us, you will be part of a creative team of planning architects, development engineers, traffic planners, and environmental strategists, all passionate about sustainable community development. Together, you will drive projects that contribute to realizing our vision of a small town in development with quality of life, sustainability, and identity in focus.

Your responsibilities include:

• Preparation of planning proposals at all stages
• Sketch work and ordering of investigations
• Budget responsibility for detailed planning projects
• Coordination of developer-driven plans
• Dialogue and presentations towards various stakeholders

With us, you get the best of both worlds, the proximity to the city's pulse and the tranquility of nature. You will be part of a workplace where engagement, community, and development are at the center. We believe in giving our employees responsibility, influence, and space to grow. Welcome to shape the future of Ekerö with us!

• Good knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written
• A valid driver's license (B)

It is an advantage if you have:

• Experience in detailed planning work within municipal or consulting activities
• Experience with AutoCAD, Focus Detailed Plan, Plandirekt, or Adobe programs

You have the ability to work independently and in a structured manner, but also appreciate the value of being part of a team where everyone contributes to a common goal. Your drive makes you eager to take initiative and ensure that things happen, while you maintain a solution-oriented approach that helps you find ways forward even when the situation is complex. You work well with others by listening, being engaged, and contributing to a good working climate. We place great importance on personal qualities and how you positively complement the work group.
