Vacant job

We need more people – do you want to help shape the future of Nacka?

Nacka Municipality is growing with high ambitions for sustainable societal development, innovation, and quality. We are now looking for a Utility Coordination Specialist at the Infrastructure Unit who wants to help develop the municipality's urban planning projects and contribute to a sustainable and well-functioning city.

Do you want to work on complex urban planning projects in one of Sweden's most dynamic municipalities and have a key role in coordinating between the municipality and various utility owners?

The Infrastructure Unit is responsible for the design, procurement, and expansion of the municipality's public facilities such as roads, streets, parks, squares, and utility systems. We build facilities that are to be owned and managed by the municipality and its water and wastewater authority, and we participate in external projects within the urban planning process.

Here, you will have the opportunity to drive projects through the entire project process, from early stages to handover for operation.

Your assignment

The Infrastructure Unit is one of four units in the Urban Development Process. The unit consists of three geographical group manager areas, construction project managers, construction supervisors, design managers, commercial project managers, and several support resources, a unit manager, and an assistant unit manager.

As a Utility Coordination Specialist, you are a central function in the municipality's urban planning projects. You work closely with construction project managers and design managers and are responsible for identifying, investigating, coordinating, and following up on utility work within the municipality's project portfolio.

You represent the municipality in contact with various utility owners and ensure that coordination, agreements, and implementation take place in a structured, cost-effective, and high-quality manner.

The role

In this role, you are responsible for the strategic and operational coordination of utility issues in the municipality's Urban Planning Projects. You act as a key person at the interface between the municipality's operations, external utility owners, and project organizations, with a focus on technology, agreements, feasibility, and economics.

Is this you?

We are looking for you who thrive in a role with great responsibility and many contact surfaces, where you get to combine technical understanding with coordination, dialogue, and problem-solving. You are confident in your competence, work in a structured manner, and have the ability to see both details and the big picture.

You are communicative, unpretentious, and have a professional approach towards both internal and external parties. In a changing project environment, you maintain overview and drive issues forward in a solution-oriented manner.
