Your tasks

We are now expanding our infrastructure team and strengthening it with an additional traffic planner specializing in traffic simulation. As a traffic planner, you will be offered a developing and varied job where you, together with your colleagues, work to implement the municipality's overall plans and strategies regarding traffic. Here, you will have a great opportunity to influence the long-term planning of infrastructure measures within Linköping Municipality and participate in various stages of both smaller projects and large urban development projects, such as the East Link.

In this position, you will have a particular focus on traffic simulation, primarily at the macro level, as well as work with traffic analysis. This means a varied job where you will work with traffic simulations, development work in the traffic area, and participate with your traffic expertise in infrastructure projects and detailed plans.

The tasks mainly include:

• Conducting simulations in the municipality's traffic simulation models and performing regular updates of the models.
• Working with traffic analyses based on simulation results and producing reports.
• In 2026, we will develop a completely new city model in PTV Visum. You will play an important role in this work and lead the development of the model.
• Preparing documentation for orders of traffic simulations conducted by consultants.
• Participating with traffic expertise in infrastructure projects and in the work with detailed plans.
• Participating in operational planning where the unit defines the projects to be implemented based on committee goals and strategic plans.
• Contributing to networks within relevant work areas.

Your workplace

The Urban Environment Department maintains and develops attractive, functional, and accessible public spaces, such as squares, parks, and streets, in Linköping Municipality.

At the Urban Environment Department, you belong to the Urban Environment Development unit, which works with the development and planning of municipal public space. The unit includes traffic planners, landscape architects, and municipal ecologists. The unit is the client for investment projects, which are carried out by the administration's project organization.

As a traffic planner, you belong to the Infrastructure group, which, with this expansion, consists of 8 traffic planners. The group works to create a functional, accessible, and safe physical traffic environment in connection with the planning and construction of the municipality's pedestrian and bicycle paths, streets, and roads. Our workgroup is characterized by community and drive. Here, you will have a good opportunity for development, education, and participation in interesting projects.

The administration is located in a newly built, activity-based office in Ebbepark and offers a pleasant and safe working environment with the possibility to work remotely 1-2 days a week.

You who are applying

We are looking for someone with a university degree in “communication, transport and society”, civil engineering in road and water construction, or urban planning, or another relevant academic education. We also see that you have at least 2 years of experience working in traffic simulation at the macro level. It is an advantage if you have many years of experience in traffic simulation, where you have gained a good understanding of the complexity and function of the traffic system in urban planning through your experiences.

It is a requirement that you have a B driver's license due to the need for site visits by car within the municipality. During the work, you will produce and interpret written materials that may be complex, so you need to have a good command of the Swedish language.

We are looking for someone with good analytical skills, who can both delve into details and simultaneously understand the whole to solve complex tasks. You prioritize and structure your work efficiently, take responsibility for your tasks, and drive your processes forward towards set goals. Your priorities, planning, and actions are guided by your ability to think goal- and result-oriented. Furthermore, you enjoy working with others and are attentive to your team and other stakeholders you encounter in your work.

In this recruitment, we use personality and problem-solving tests as part of our assessment.
