How do we balance the interests of landowners, authorities, and society's need for new roads and railways? Do you want a fun and varied job and be part of a great team? Then we welcome you to submit your application for the position of Land Negotiator based in Jönköping.

Join us and make a difference - become a land negotiator with us!

Job Responsibilities

As a land negotiator, you are a specialist in land access issues in the Swedish Transport Administration's road and railway projects. You are the link between the Transport Administration and individual landowners, municipalities, authorities, and other stakeholders.

The land negotiator works in all phases of the projects, from planning to completed construction. This, along with the various characteristics of the projects, means that the work has a wide scope and that the issues vary. Some examples of tasks that you perform independently and in collaboration with your colleagues include:

• Assessing and negotiating compensation for encroachments and damages
• Drafting property law agreements
• Contacting affected property owners
• Representing the Transport Administration in land survey proceedings and other authority contacts

Within the land negotiator group, we help each other develop by contributing our strengths and experiences. We value a learning organization with opportunities to drive and participate in continuous development work.

For us, it is obvious that you should get a good start to succeed in the role, and as a newly hired land negotiator, you will participate in our internal training package.

The position may involve work outside of office hours as well as travel.

Qualifications

Who are you?

To thrive and succeed in the land negotiator role, we expect you to be a communicative person, skilled in both listening and conveying messages in an understandable way. Since the role involves extensive contacts, we emphasize the importance of being able to establish trusting relationships in external collaborations, as well as being flexible and relationship-oriented with your colleagues to contribute to a positive work environment. The tasks include both teamwork and independent work, which means you need to have the ability to take your own initiatives. It is also important that you work in a structured and meticulous manner to ensure the quality of your work. Analytical skills and problem-solving abilities are also necessary in the role, and we view these skills positively.

We are looking for someone who has:

• A university or college degree of at least 180 credits (120 ECTS) in surveying/planning or a law degree with a focus on property law, or another higher education degree of at least 180 credits (120 ECTS) in combination with relevant work experience that we consider equivalent
• Current and relevant work experience in property law issues
• Good ability to express yourself in Swedish, both orally and in writing
• A valid driver's license for passenger cars

Application

The questions you will need to answer when submitting your application will form the basis for the first selection we make. Unless otherwise stated in the ad, we would like you to attach your CV. We have stopped requesting a cover letter as we do not consider it part of the selection basis. If you have protected personal information, you should contact the responsible manager for the recruitment so that your application is handled according to special procedures. You can find the name and contact information for the manager in the advertisement.

Within Investments, we lead most of the Swedish Transport Administration's projects in reconstruction and new investments. We work with the whole process - from planning and construction to completed road or railway. Always with a focus on smart solutions and efficient project management. With us, you work with colleagues and various stakeholders, all with their knowledge and experiences, to create sustainable transport solutions.

At the Swedish Transport Administration, we work to bring Sweden closer together. We believe that a combination of different experiences, backgrounds, and perspectives is the best foundation for building a workplace free from discrimination and an environment where everyone thrives and does their best.
