The Varberg Tunnel is complete and Gothenburg is getting a new central station - now we need your expertise in water and wastewater (VA) and ventilation! As a project manager, you contribute to a robust road and railway facility that enables travel and transport for thousands every day, all year round.
Job Description
The Infrastructure Systems Project Unit is one of six project units within the Western Maintenance Region. The unit is responsible for technical systems related to roads and railways and runs projects to continuously maintain, manage the lifecycle of, and develop existing equipment. As the West Link (Västlänken) is completed, the Infrastructure Systems unit will take over and manage facility components, including VA and ventilation systems such as dewatering systems, heating/cooling, fire suppression systems, general ventilation, and smoke evacuation.
The scope of the position will be adapted to the section's needs in connection with the handover of the West Link. This means that the person taking up the position will participate in and be responsible for parts of the role's design. This implies that you will have great opportunities to participate in and influence how parts of the role are shaped.
As a project manager, you will, for example:
- Contribute to and support the organization in designing maintenance for the received facility. (initially the central station, then the entire West Link)
- Manage and lead contracts for operation and maintenance as well as reinvestment.
- Ensure that work is carried out in accordance with current laws, regulations, and internal work instructions.
- Participate in the development of business plans and forecasting.
- Be responsible for continuity and safety work for current systems.
- Be responsible for preventive and proactive work regarding product vulnerabilities and risk analyses.
As a project manager, you work together with your team on projects from planning, through implementation, to completion, with a focus on VA and railway ventilation, although other types of technical systems or facilities may also be included in the area of responsibility. You are responsible for and drive designated projects within the current technical area, but will also support other projects to maintain the set goals for the Swedish Transport Administration's facilities and operations.
This means that you have financial responsibility for the projects and continuously monitor the operations against set goals regarding time, cost, and content. This includes planning, budgeting, and conducting procurement, as well as monitoring and managing contracted contractors and suppliers.
My name is Martina Venbrant and I will be your manager. My starting point is a flat hierarchy, present, and flexible leadership where everyone's opinions are important.
Qualifications
Who are you?
In this project management assignment, you get a unique opportunity to build up a maintenance operation from scratch - perfect for you who are attracted to creating something new and appreciate room for your own initiatives! To succeed in the role, you need to be good at building long-term relationships and have the ability to quickly find your way in structure and prioritization, even in situations where there are no established ways of working to lean on. The project manager role also involves a number of different contact surfaces both internally and externally, which in turn demands good communication, anchoring, and a curious approach.
Your Leadership
As a leader, you are driven by getting people to grow through present leadership. You create trust and build confidence with your problem-solving and communicative abilities. You deliver results and drive societal development forward through participation and engagement. To inspire, clarify direction, and be receptive to new opportunities and solutions is a prerequisite for success.
