Welcome to Sundsvall Municipality!

Sundsvall Municipality is one of Northern Sweden's largest employers with around 8,000 employees and over 300 professions. Together, we fulfill one of the most important missions in society – to create benefit and value for residents, businesses, and future generations. Regardless of the activity, we work towards the same goal: to be a great place to live, work, and thrive.

We are currently in an exciting phase of development. We are a pioneer in digital development and artificial intelligence, leading the work to create smart solutions for the future public sector.

Sundsvall plays a central role in the green transition in Northern Sweden. We are convinced that the right places for this transition are here. As a municipality, we are preparing to grow by preparing land, creating new educational opportunities, marketing the municipality, and welcoming new residents from all over the world.

Your New Workplace

As a preparedness coordinator, you will be organizationally placed in the Department of Security and Preparedness, which in turn is located at the Municipal Executive Office.

The unit is led by a department head, who is also the security protection manager.

The department currently consists of four preparedness coordinators, one security strategist, one investigator, and two crime prevention coordinators. In the spring, a security coordinator will also be hired.

In this role, you will collaborate with the municipality's other administrations to coordinate the municipality's work in civil preparedness.

Your role will also be supportive and coordinating for both elected officials and civil servants throughout the municipality, thus supporting both the political side of the municipality (council, committees, and boards) and the civil servant side (administrations and units).

Your Contributions as a Preparedness Coordinator

As a preparedness coordinator, you will primarily work on:

• Writing, developing, anchoring, and following up on governing documents in the municipality's work with crisis preparedness and civil defense.
• Planning, executing, supporting, and following up on the municipality's work with risk and vulnerability analyses and continuity management.
• Planning and conducting training and exercises to develop the municipality's capacity in civil defense and crisis preparedness.
• Participating in efforts to develop and strengthen the municipality's work with geographical area responsibility based on civil defense and crisis preparedness.
• Representing the municipality in regional (or national) working groups and networks related to civil defense and crisis preparedness.
• Being able to participate in the municipality's staff during societal disturbances.

In addition to these overarching tasks, you will also work on planning and preparations for disturbances in drinking water and sewage supply, as well as issues related to natural disasters, including tasks related to the flood directive. The role also involves monitoring and integrating total defense considerations into the municipality's community planning and serving as the department's contact person on climate-related issues.

Travel within the county and nationally may occur in this position.

Your Competence and Experience

We are looking for someone who has:

• A university degree, preferably with a focus on crisis preparedness, risk management, and civil protection, or other education deemed equivalent by the employer.
• Previous experience in public service, the security industry, or work related to these areas.
• Excellent ability to communicate in both spoken and written form, in Swedish and English.
• A valid driver's license (B).
• Basic IT skills.

Meritorious knowledge and experience:

• Experience working with security protection.
• Previous experience in development, improvement, and/or quality work, project management, continuity management, risk and vulnerability analyses, or security protection work.

As a person, we are looking for someone with a solution-oriented attitude who enjoys handling complex situations in a structured manner. You are goal- and result-oriented, while also having good collaboration skills and appreciating working together with others to achieve common goals. The role requires flexibility and the ability to quickly adapt to changing conditions. You are self-driven, take initiative, and move work forward with high integrity and professionalism.

We place great emphasis on personal suitability.
