Job Responsibilities

As a planning architect with us at Härjedalen Municipality, your main task will be to work on the development and processing of detailed plans to enable the municipality's continued development. You will have an important responsibility for the entire planning process, from early stages to completed detailed plans, and work in close dialogue with colleagues, developers, and other stakeholders. The role involves delving into planning issues, analyzing conditions, and producing materials that contribute to sustainable and well-balanced decisions.

We are looking for someone who can and wants to drive planning projects from idea to finished plan!

Personal Attributes

The role involves driving planning processes from early stages to completed detailed plans and producing well-founded planning proposals that support sustainable development.

The work requires both the ability to be independent and to work in a group, as well as the ability to structure and prioritize when multiple planning processes are ongoing simultaneously. You need to be proactive, initiative-taking, and solution-oriented to handle complex planning issues. It is important that you have good collaborative skills both internally and externally.

Dialogue and collaboration are a natural part of the work, but the focus is on professional planning work and the development of detailed plans. This position suits you if you are:

analytical and strategic with the ability to see connections and consequences

communicative in both writing and visuals
stable and secure in yourself
receptive, service-oriented, and unpretentious with the ability to collaborate when needed

We Offer

Härjedalen Municipality shares part of the mountains with Berg Municipality. This means that we have a joint environmental and building department, a joint environmental and building committee, and close cooperation regarding planning issues. The municipality's main office is located in Sveg, but we also have local offices in Funäsdalen and Hede, which means you can live and work in your preferred location. Since Härjedalen is a municipality with a large geography, much of the work is carried out using digital communication tools, allowing some of the job to be done remotely.

We offer you an exciting and developing job where you, together with other employees in the community development administration, will continue to develop Härjedalen in a sustainable and positive way.

We also offer the opportunity for a wellness hour every week during working hours, wellness allowance, and vacation exchange.
