Botkyrka Municipality is the sixth largest municipality in Stockholm County and consists of the districts of Alby, Fittja, Hallunda, Norsborg, Tullinge, Tumba, Vårsta, and Grödinge. Botkyrka Municipality has approximately 95,000 residents and over 6,400 employees.

The Urban Planning Administration manages and develops both urban and rural areas within the municipality. We have the overall responsibility for planning and creating the physical, legal, and business conditions for a safe and good living environment in Botkyrka. Our 125 employees work to enable good housing and an attractive local environment regardless of where one is in life.

The Position and Responsibilities

We are looking for a GIS Engineer who wants to help develop the digital solutions of the future for the urban planning process.

With us, you will play an important role in creating a more efficient and cohesive digital environment for the municipality. We are in an exciting development phase where digitization is a central part, while we also need to manage and further develop existing information and systems.

As a GIS Engineer, you will work on improving work methods and developing tools while contributing to increasing the use of geographic information in the municipality's operations. You will contribute your expertise in everything from developing technical solutions to spreading knowledge about GIS internally. The work is varied and involves both independent assignments and collaboration in project groups. Geographic information is a key component in many of the municipality's processes, especially within urban planning where we create benefits for several stakeholders.

Your main responsibilities include:

• driving activities and projects within GIS
• developing technology to refine and make geographic information accessible
• developing information architecture and integration technology together with our geodata coordinator
• streamlining and developing processes within GIS
• providing support and internal training in the GIS area.

You will be part of our GIS team, which currently consists of four dedicated employees. Together, we work to realize our high ambitions and create solutions that make a difference for both the municipality and our residents.

We Offer You

Our unit plays a key role in creating a digital urban planning process with an uninterrupted flow of information. We work on exciting initiatives such as developing work processes for open geodata and improving our base map in 3D to enable a digital twin. We also explore open source solutions to further develop our environment.

We value collaboration both within the unit and with other administrations. In addition, we actively collaborate with the Södertörn municipalities on joint operational support and work methods. With us, you will participate in development projects, face technical challenges, and contribute to a digitally progressive urban planning.
