Welcome to Alingsås!

As an employee in our municipality, you have all the opportunities to help develop the operations and your workplace. With nearly 4000 employees, we are large enough to drive change and at the same time small enough for each individual to influence and have space for their ideas. There is room for innovators here. Together we create Alingsås!

At the Community Building Administration, more than 180 employees work with infrastructure and environmental protection in our municipality. We are responsible for planning and operating construction projects, road networks, parking lots, public spaces, parks, waste management, as well as treatment plants and waterworks. Our area of responsibility also includes traffic safety, accessibility, security, and a generally good environment for residents, as well as regulatory activities based on the Environmental Code and food legislation, where supervision and preventive work are in focus.

In the role of infrastructure strategist, you will belong to the community strategic unit, which gathers a smaller group of strategic functions focusing on comprehensive planning, strategic land use, local supply, and more. The unit is part of the Urban Planning Department, which consists of two additional units responsible for detailed planning and land and development issues.

In May, we will move into our new municipal building, right in the city center of Alingsås. Here you will have the opportunity to be involved from the start and work in both unique and functional premises. The municipal building has a central location within walking distance to commuter trains, restaurants, cafes, and shops, which provides good conditions for a pleasant and accessible workday.

When you start with us, we offer you:

• A secure employment with a collective agreement
• Opportunity for vacation exchange, and extra vacation days when you turn 40
• Competence development plan
• Parental benefit supplement
• Wellness allowance and favorable discounts via E-passi
• Bicycle benefit
• Opportunity to partially work remotely

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

As an infrastructure strategist, you will play a key role in community planning in Alingsås and work to coordinate, drive, and be responsible for the municipality's overall infrastructure planning. Alingsås continues to grow, which places demands on infrastructure and traffic planning to keep pace with development, both in how we use existing systems and when larger changes are needed. Work is underway to develop a new comprehensive plan, where the strategies for infrastructure and traffic need to be updated. In parallel with this, Alingsås is participating in the planning for how the Western Main Line can be expanded with additional tracks, how the overall road system in Alingsås can be developed, and how to continuously work towards sustainable travel in the long term.

You will lead working groups, be involved in developing overarching strategic documents, conduct investigations, and also respond to referrals and correspondence regarding infrastructure. An important task is environmental monitoring, where you will work to analyze trends in the area and adapt them to the conditions and potential of Alingsås municipality. As an infrastructure strategist, you will represent and drive Alingsås municipality's needs in infrastructure issues in relation to other stakeholders and changes in the external environment.

The position as an infrastructure strategist involves active participation in various networks at both local and regional levels. You will have close dialogue with public authorities, state agencies, and the business community. In the role of infrastructure strategist, you will represent the municipality to other stakeholders, explore co-financing opportunities, and participate in various networks. You will collaborate extensively with elected officials and colleagues within the municipal community building process, but equally important is the collaboration with representatives from the business community and other stakeholders. A central task is to present and advocate complex issues to different target groups and to drive development in the area.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for someone with a background as a civil engineer with a focus on community building/infrastructure, a community planner with a focus on traffic, or equivalent. We also see that you have experience in regional development, community and infrastructure planning, as well as driving development issues within a politically governed organization.

To succeed in the role, you need to be good at collaborating, both internally and externally. You need to have a focus on the big picture and an understanding of the entire chain in community planning to be able to weigh different interests and modes of transport wisely against each other. Creativity and the ability to think outside the box, and to start from the user's needs in what we plan are also important qualities.

You should have good communication skills and be able to express yourself well in Swedish both in writing and verbally. As a person, you are self-driven, solution-focused, results-oriented, and analytical. Experience in similar work and in a politically governed organization is important.
