Operations Manager for Traffic and Land Area

Do you want to help create a well-functioning, safe, and sustainable everyday life for the residents of Falun? At the Traffic and Land Department, you will work at the heart of municipal operations – where planning, quality, and community benefit meet.

About Us

At the Environmental and Community Building Administration, we work with the entire chain – from long-term community planning to the daily operation of streets, parks, and nature reserves.

We are a moderately sized administration with short decision-making paths, close collaboration, and a strong desire to make a difference. Here, you will meet engaged colleagues who enjoy working together, sharing knowledge, and supporting each other. As an operations manager, you will be based in Ingarvet, where you will become an important part of our work to create a safe, sustainable, and well-maintained municipality.

Job Responsibilities

As the operations manager for the traffic and land area, you will play a central and important role in coordinating the operation of streets and roads in the municipality. Here, you will work comprehensively and strategically with planning, forecasts, calculations, and follow-up of operational activities.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Ensuring functional and standard requirements for street operations are current and adhered to
• Monitoring and managing the finances for street operations, including cost calculations and forecasts
• Planning, resourcing, and ensuring that ongoing operations function year-round
• Conducting regular meetings with the operations organization and external contractors
• Working with procurement and contracts related to street operations
• Organizing winter road maintenance for street operations (readiness may be required)
• Acting as an important point of contact both internally and externally

This role comes with financial responsibility, many points of contact, and a clear mission to create order, structure, and quality in operations. This is not practical work – the focus is on planning, follow-up, and management of operational processes.

Qualifications

The following are required for the role:

• Experience in operations within streets, traffic, or a similar field
• Experience with cost calculations and financial follow-up
• Proficient in Swedish, both spoken and written
• Valid driver's license (B)

Personal Attributes

To thrive in this role, you need to be a person who stands firm, takes initiative, and drives work forward with clarity and structure. You have a strong customer focus and understand that every decision regarding operations, procurements, and priorities affects the everyday life of the residents of Falun.

You are confident in dialogue with contractors and handle both meetings and tougher conversations with professionalism and calm. With clear and straightforward communication, you build trust, maintain dialogues, and ensure everyone is on board.

You thrive in an environment where collaboration is central. You build good relationships, share knowledge, and contribute to a strong team spirit in operations. Planning and order come naturally to you – you see what is needed, stay one step ahead, and organize work in a realistic and sustainable way. When the frameworks are not entirely clear, you are the one who finds the way forward.

Desirable Qualifications

• Experience with procurement
• Relevant experience from municipal operations or contracting
