Your Responsibilities

With us, you will lead the expansion of public land in line with Linköping's growing need for new housing, business areas, and sustainable investments.

You will be responsible for the entire process, working on everything from preliminary planning to procurement, implementation, and handover. This includes responsibility for monitoring time, budget, and quality, which involves planning and coordinating resources, procuring consultants and contractors, and ensuring that project goals are met. The work is carried out in close collaboration with colleagues and external stakeholders. You will also contribute to the development of technical solutions and calculations in early planning phases and participate in the development of our working methods.

This is a position for you who want broad responsibility, enjoy leading complex projects, and want to contribute to building a sustainable and attractive Linköping.
