The Bromma district is on an exciting journey of change as we prepare to take over waste management and maintenance of parks and green areas under municipal management. Approximately 82,000 residents live here.

You will be part of the new unit for the management of parks and green areas, which, together with the project organization, is part of the urban environment area. The unit will consist of a team leader and a team of park workers led by a unit manager. The group will operate from a shared facility that is shared with other colleagues from the urban environment area.

We have high ambitions to develop the public outdoor environments of the district and look forward to having you on this journey! Warm welcome to submit your application!

We offer

Bromma has three nature reserves and over 500 hectares of natural land. Forest and nature conservation as well as biodiversity are a natural part of our work and focus in the district. We currently manage three nature reserves: Kyrksjölötens Nature Reserve, Judarns Nature Reserve, and part of Grimsta Nature Reserve. There are about 80 playgrounds, three beach areas, and a two-mile long shoreline.

For us, it is important to have fun at work! You will be part of a dedicated workgroup focused on the residents of Bromma. Our operations are characterized by collaboration, courage, empathy, and respectful interaction. You will be offered good employment benefits such as professional development, wellness grants, and vacation exchange. Please read more about our benefits and working in Stockholm City.

The unit for the management of parks and green areas is an operation under construction. Park management in-house will start in the spring of 2026 after being contracted out for over twenty years. Here you have an opportunity to influence the development of the new unit by contributing your knowledge and experience.
