Project Manager for Road or Railway Job Responsibilities
What you will do with us
You will lead complex infrastructure projects from idea to reality - and do it together with competent colleagues and engaged partners. You are responsible for delivering projects on time, within budget, and with quality, but you are also a cultural bearer and problem solver in a daily life where changes are part of the job. Examples of what you can drive: Road: |
- New pedestrian and bike paths, traffic-safe intersections, accessible stops
- Center barriers, widenings, and other traffic safety measures
- Water protection, wildlife passages, and other environmental initiatives
Railway: |
- Track changes, switches, electrification, and overhead lines
- Improved level crossings and upgrading of signaling systems
- Larger system initiatives to make the railway faster, safer, and more accessible
You often manage multiple projects simultaneously - but you do it with support. You will work with proven project models, a strong internal network, and colleagues who both can and want to share. Here you have the structure of a large organization - but also the freedom to shape your role and your projects for real. Location for Road: Jönköping or Kalmar. Location for Railway: Jönköping or Linköping. |
