JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

Peder Skrivare School is currently seeking a facility manager for a comprehensive and responsible assignment.

Peder Skrivare School is very proud of our highly competent and service-oriented facility managers. We are now looking to complement the team in the facility management department after a retirement. Since the facility managers have a large and responsible task of managing 16 different properties, we are looking for a new colleague who can demonstrate strong references with a particularly high sense of responsibility, expressed by seeing what needs to be done before anyone else does and acting independently. We are looking for a person who is a strong team player and can read the game. Our new colleague needs to be able to act independently while also maintaining very good communication with colleagues so that we do not run after the same ball.

In the role of facility manager, you will work together with the other two facility managers to create the best school facilities for our students given the resources at our disposal. The key to success is to stay one step ahead. We are driven by having as few reports of issues as possible since we have addressed faults and deficiencies before staff and students see them.

Examples of daily tasks include managing locks and alarms, ensuring order and cleanliness in the areas outside classrooms, preparing for various activities in our properties, managing furnishings, receiving goods and delivering packages and mail, identifying and reporting workplace risks, and handling incoming reports of issues. The role also includes participating in safety rounds and conducting fire drills, including documentation, ensuring that updated evacuation routes and legally required quality certificates according to the Environmental Code are posted in designated places in the school's premises. It also involves daily collaboration with operational technicians from the municipality's Property Department.

This is a very mobile job, and there are quite a few heavy lifts involved.
