Vacant job

We are looking for a highly experienced Construction Manager Telecommunications (Tele) or BPU Tele for a long-term assignment within railway, telecommunications, and ERTMS.

This role is suitable for you if you have extensive experience from major railway projects, are accustomed to working closely on-site within the contracting chain, and can represent the client side in a secure, structured, and professional manner.

The assignment involves the implementation and construction related to ERTMS in the Swedish railway environment. You will work closely with project management, contractors, designers, and other technical disciplines.

Assignment Duration and Scope

Long-term assignment starting no later than October 31, 2026, with the possibility of an earlier start from August 1, 2026. The base assignment runs for approximately 2 years, with the option to extend by 1 + 1 year, meaning the assignment could last until around 2030.

The workload is approximately 60–80 percent during 2026, and thereafter approximately 80–100 percent during 2027 and 2028. In the event of an extension, the workload will be approximately 80–100 percent.

During the first few years, the majority of the work will be located in the Hallsberg and Bjärka-Säby areas. Thereafter, the assignment is expected to gradually move south towards Malmö and the West Coast Line.

The assignment requires high flexibility and regular travel, as a large part of the work takes place on-site at various railway contracts.
