Our client, active in public transport in Skövde, is currently looking for a Department Manager.

In the role of Department Manager for Traffic, you are responsible for tendering, establishing, monitoring, and developing traffic services together with 8 employees. As Department Manager, you are responsible for ensuring and developing business relationships with tendered partners, as well as for the department's operational and strategic activities and the development of the team and its working methods.
