Do you have experience in traffic planning?

Do you have experience in traffic planning and a genuine interest in creating sustainable and well-functioning urban environments? In our growing municipality, traffic and mobility issues play a central role for both our residents, our politicians, and the continued development of the municipality. We face exciting challenges with new residential areas, a growing business sector, and increased demands for climate-smart transport solutions.

We are now looking for someone who wants to contribute to the development of future sustainable transport systems. This is a completely new role, which means a unique opportunity to shape the assignment and influence the municipality's overall traffic planning. The position is located in the strategy unit, which is one of the seven units of the Community Building Office.

RESPONSIBILITIES

In the role of traffic planner, both strategic and operational work is combined. You will identify, analyze, and coordinate traffic issues throughout the community building process, in close collaboration with colleagues and other stakeholders.

You will act as the expert in the municipality's strategic traffic planning. You are responsible for and develop the long-term strategic traffic planning work, which may involve updating and developing strategies and plans in the area. You will also be an important support in the municipality's ongoing detailed planning projects, where you contribute your expertise and help develop the municipality's infrastructure.

You will monitor traffic issues and contribute your expertise in other planning stages, as well as in implementation and investment planning, and in the development of other mapping materials and action plans. Another important part may be to manage and develop our work with analyses, modeling, and visualization of traffic flows and areas for improvement. If necessary, you will conduct or order traffic simulations and capacity calculations.

The role includes representing the municipality in various contexts, either alone or together with colleagues. This includes working with the Swedish Transport Administration and Region Sörmland, as well as with other contacts and external networks to develop the municipality's traffic infrastructure. The role also involves preparing and processing matters for political decisions.

You will work closely with the municipality's traffic administrators and traffic planners located in the technical and service office, as well as the municipality's public transport coordinators and other strategists in the strategy unit.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for someone who has:

• A civil engineering or community building degree at least at the bachelor's level with a traffic focus or other education deemed equivalent.
• Several years of experience working with strategic traffic planning.
• Experience in street design, traffic forecasts, and simpler socio-economic calculations.
• Very good ability to express yourself in Swedish, both verbally and in writing.
• Good knowledge of the Office suite and computer skills.
• A valid driver's license (B).

We consider it an advantage if you have:

• A civil engineering or community building degree at the master's level, traffic focus or similar.
• Experience working independently with traffic models, data analyses, and investigations within traffic planning.
• Experience working with traffic issues and traffic planning in detailed plans and larger community building projects.
• Knowledge of the Traffic Regulation, Road Act, PBL.
• Experience working in a politically governed organization.
• Skills in CAD.
• Knowledge in GIS.

We place great emphasis on personal suitability and we want you to share the municipality's values - development, respect, openness, and clarity.

We see that you are a results- and development-oriented person who has the ability to adapt to changing conditions. You are analytical with the ability to see the big picture and integrate different aspects of complex issues. You enjoy both leading and participating in workgroups, as well as contributing to the group's work towards set goals. You also have the ability to work independently and design your own processes and projects. You have a good ability to collaborate and build relationships both within your own organization and with external parties.

Your communication and collaboration are characterized by attentiveness and confidence, and you have a good ability to adapt your message depending on the recipient's knowledge in the area.
