Facility Manager at the Swedish Prison and Probation Service

The Swedish Prison and Probation Service is growing – we are building new facilities, renovating, and expanding, and we are now looking for more employees. Our most important goal is to reduce recidivism – to break the vicious cycle. If we succeed, society will be safer and more secure for everyone. We are the authority responsible for prisons, probation, remand facilities, and client transport.

The position is located at the technical property unit, which belongs to the property department. The unit consists of two sections: the Technical Projects Section and the Technical Management and Development Section. This recruitment is for the Technical Management and Development Section.

The Technical Management Section has overall responsibility for the security technology of the Swedish Prison and Probation Service as well as for the budget associated with the area of technical management. The section is also responsible for ongoing management, including reinvestments, management plans, and smaller projects. You and an existing colleague will have a specific responsibility for the West region and will also be part of a management group with representatives from other regions of the Swedish Prison and Probation Service.

JOB DESCRIPTION

As a facility manager, you will be responsible for ensuring that technical requirements in projects and management meet the Security Department's specifications. This applies to all technical security systems, both in ongoing management, new constructions, renovations, and larger installation projects.

Your role includes determining the investment needs, both short and long term, at each operational site. This is often done in close collaboration with local technicians. You will be responsible for preparing the necessary documentation for budgets and management plans and implementing the new and reinvestments required. Furthermore, your responsibilities include setting requirements, leading smaller expansion contracts, and participating in inspections and follow-ups. You will collaborate with other units and sections at the Head Office as well as with regional and local coordinators connected to your region.

We have a nationwide service and support agreement with suppliers where you can receive support and assistance, as well as order materials and services. Business trips are included in the role, and local visits to prisons and remand facilities in the region are common.
