Do you want to contribute to shaping future engineering education in close collaboration with academia and industry – both nationally and internationally?

We are now looking for an Educational Leader / Faculty Programme Director for the Programme Committee for Industrial Economics and Logistics (IL Committee) at the Office of the Faculty of Science and Engineering.

About the job

As an educational leader, you play a central role in the development of our civil engineering, undergraduate, and master's programmes. You work closely with the chair of the programme committee and are responsible for coordinating, further developing, and ensuring the quality of the education – both operationally and strategically.

You collaborate with students, teachers, researchers, and industry, contributing to ensuring that the education is relevant, high-quality, and adapted to changing needs in the external environment.

You are part of the management group for undergraduate education at the Faculty of Science and Engineering and have an important role in the faculty's strategic educational work.

Your main tasks:

• Lead and develop educational programmes in industrial economics and logistics
• Drive strategic development and quality work within undergraduate education
• Ensure that the education complies with laws, regulations, and internal guidelines
• Prepare and follow up on education plans and support the faculty management in educational matters
• Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders regarding programme content and development
• Participate in and contribute to national and international networks
• Develop and strengthen international collaborations with a focus on student exchange and study abroad
• Work with the recognition of international studies

With us, you will have a strategically important role with great opportunities to influence future education. You will work in a dynamic academic environment with engaged colleagues and strong connections to industry – both in Sweden and internationally.

About you

We are looking for you who are analytical, structured, and have a strong commitment to educational development. You are open-minded, have high integrity, and thrive in a role where you drive issues independently while collaborating with others.

You have the ability to see the big picture, prioritize effectively, and adapt your working style to different situations and perspectives. You are confident in meetings with both individuals and groups and can communicate clearly in complex contexts.

We place great emphasis on personal suitability for this position.

We require that you have:

• A Master of Science in Engineering or equivalent, as well as a PhD or many years of relevant experience from industry
• Documented experience of leadership and development within technical and/or natural science fields
• Very good ability to express yourself in speech and writing in both Swedish and English
