Job Description
Do you want to help shape the sustainable society of the future? Then AFRY is the workplace for you!
With us, you will be part of an engaged team working broadly with community development. We are driven by creating attractive, inclusive, and sustainable cities and communities. Our clients include municipalities, regions, and government agencies, as well as private actors.
As a project manager, you are a central figure in the projects. You are responsible for budget, schedule, quality, and delivery according to the timeline – from planning to execution. The role also involves leading and supporting other consultants and ensuring that our deliveries meet client requirements and technical standards. The assignments vary from smaller local projects to larger, long-term, and complex missions spanning several years.
In your role, you will collaborate closely with the client, other technical areas, and various stakeholders to create integrated and sustainable solutions that meet the project needs.
You will be based in one of our offices in Örebro, Västerås, or Uppsala.

We are looking for someone with a degree in civil engineering or equivalent relevant work experience in community building. You have at least five years of experience as a project manager or project leader, have worked on multidisciplinary projects, and wish to take on a more senior role in leading complex projects and mentoring others.
You have good knowledge of economics and business acumen and experience managing budgets and resources with sound financial insight. We also expect you to have a good understanding of the laws, standards, and technical guidelines governing the industry, and that you can ensure our projects comply with applicable regulations and maintain high technical quality.
To succeed in the role, you need to have good knowledge of Swedish and English, both spoken and written, as you will collaborate with both national and international actors.
Since we continuously work with international partners, it is advantageous if you have experience leading employees in other countries.
Work experience as an entrepreneur is a plus.
In summary, we are looking for an engaged, structured, and technically skilled leader who wants to ensure that our projects not only meet today’s demands but also contribute to shaping the sustainable societies of the future.
Additional Information
As a consultant with us, you will never be alone in your assignment. Here, you join an organization where strong teamwork, open knowledge-sharing spaces, and a broad professional network are givens.
You will have access to experienced colleagues, specialist expertise, mentorship, and several internal networks that help you grow – both in your role and in your projects. Whether you need a sounding board, technical expertise, methodological support, or just someone to discuss ideas with, the support structures are already in place.
We believe that the strength of a consultant comes from the combination of personal drive and a solid foundation to lean on. Therefore, we offer:
- Support from an engaged team that follows you through all phases of the assignment
- Several competence networks where you meet colleagues with similar focus areas
- A culture that encourages collaboration, learning, and generosity
- Access to both local and national networks, so you can always find the right expertise close to you
