Vacant job

How do you know that the railway's infrastructure is safe, functional, and ready for traffic? You are responsible for driving the work forward according to the agreement and working closely with both contractors and internal functions regarding follow-up, planning, and development of measures in the infrastructure.

Responsibilities

In this role, as a Project Manager, you will primarily be responsible for either:

• Leading contracts concerning mainly periodic measurement of overhead lines and tracks as part of the Swedish Transport Administration's safety assessment of the infrastructure, as well as contracts for measuring the free space (FOMUL), although other contracts may become relevant. These contracts cover the entire area of Sweden.
• Leading contracts concerning preparatory measures such as cable localization, ground investigations, and CIRRUS (whose task is to collect data, including laser point clouds, to enable digital site visits and infrastructure knowledge, etc.), although other contracts may become relevant. These contracts cover the entire area of Sweden.

As a Project Manager, you work both operationally and strategically, focusing on driving, leading, and coordinating the work in the project. You conduct follow-ups and analyses and develop improvement and action proposals to ensure progress in the project (with regard to Time, Cost, and Content).

The Project Manager must ensure that the contract is carried out according to the agreed terms by:

• Driving, leading, and coordinating the work in the project.
• Ensuring that the need for measures in the infrastructure is documented.
• Ensuring that measures in the production plan are followed up (delivery follow-up).
• Responsible for business planning, business follow-up, and forecasting.
• Driving the development of request documents and procurement of contracts when necessary.
• Handling external contacts with the public, municipalities, and other stakeholders within the project.
• Supporting other departments within own and other business areas, based on technical competence and knowledge of the infrastructure's status.

You have good communication skills, your message is conveyed clearly, and you are receptive and adapt your communication to the situation. You are confident and clear in your leadership and have the courage to express your own opinions. As a leader at the Swedish Transport Administration, you are driven by helping people grow through present leadership, and through your leadership, you create trust and build confidence.
