In Mölndal Municipality, we are proud to have Sweden's most important jobs where we together create the best possible everyday life for our citizens.

The Community Building Administration is responsible for the long-term physical planning of the city and builds a sustainable city, based on a holistic view of urban development. The administration works purposefully to make Mölndal an attractive, sustainable, and successful city in the region.

The work on the new railway between Gothenburg and Borås is in full swing. The new railway will pass through Mölndal station and Landvetter airport, making Mölndal a future regional hub for all train traffic in Western Sweden. For Mölndal Municipality, the project means extensive development work where urban development, infrastructure, and sustainable travel meet.

We are now looking for a program leader who wants to drive this important work together with us.
