Welcome to Sundsvall Municipality!

Sundsvall Municipality is one of the largest employers in Norrland 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 operation, we work for the same goal: to be a great place to live, work, and thrive.

We are currently in an exciting development phase. 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 developing land, creating new educational opportunities, marketing the municipality, and welcoming new residents from all over the world.

Your new workplace

Do you want to work with stable, secure, and modern network infrastructure in a complex environment that is constantly evolving? With us, you will have significant technical responsibility, the opportunity to influence architecture and working methods – and the chance to work with solutions that make a difference for thousands of users in several municipalities.

In Sundsvall Municipality, we think a little differently than many others when it comes to digitization and IT. We strive to create a climate within the entire organization that promotes courage, innovation, equality, and adaptability while ensuring that all our deliveries are of high quality. We share what we do and invite citizens, businesses, and other municipalities and authorities to collaborate and co-create with us. At the same time, we set clear demands on system suppliers and the industry to think differently, to work with modern and future-proof technology and open, shared solutions. This has resulted in us being awarded the title of “Sweden's Digitalization Municipality” in 2021, and in 2024 our IT director was named CIO of the Year by Dagens Industri.

We work long-term, prioritize security, and build a robust environment with modern tools and a clear technology strategy. We are now looking for a network technician to strengthen our team and contribute both in daily operations and in our development journey.
