Property Technician and Team Leader Wanted in Kristinehamn

Do you want to help create safe, sustainable, and functional environments for everyone living, working, and visiting Kristinehamn? Our operations unit for property/leisure is currently seeking a property technician and a team leader. Whether you are the one leading the work forward and supporting the team daily, or you are the one working closely with our properties, you will become an important part of our dedicated team. We look forward to your application!

The property team consists of eight employees, including property technicians, energy technicians, and an operations manager. We manage the municipality's properties and are responsible for strategic planning. We handle service, supervision, and preventive maintenance. One of our employees has moved on within the organization, and another is retiring, which is why we are now looking for two new employees.

The property/leisure unit is part of the public environment department within the technical administration. The technical administration consists of nearly 200 employees and works to ensure that the municipality's traffic environment is safe and accessible, and that children, youth, and the elderly receive nutritious and good food in our school activities and special accommodations. We are responsible for residents' access to clean and fresh water from the tap. We manage the collection of household waste and waste facilities, cleaning for our administrative premises, contract and rental management, and service. We also oversee recreational facilities, parks, and playgrounds.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

As a property technician, you will have your own area of responsibility where you work closely with our buildings to ensure they function as they should—today and in the future. The role requires you to be self-sufficient, and you will be trusted to solve the challenges that arise in daily operations. Together with your colleagues, you will ensure safe and efficient operation of the municipality's properties.

Examples of job responsibilities will include:

• patrolling
• preventive and corrective maintenance
