Vacant job

– A job with room for growth!

A job for a true superhero who wants to protect and develop the work with our most essential food source; water! Are you enthusiastic about sustainable growth work where collaboration and a holistic view are central? Does your finger itch as soon as you hear about a design project? Then this job as a Project Manager within Water and Sewerage (VA) might be for you!

Welcome to us!

Krokom Municipality is growing in terms of both residents and businesses. The growth ambitions are high. The goal is to reach 19,300 residents by 2035, and we want to get there in a sustainable way, both environmentally, socially, and economically.

As a Project Manager within the Water and Sewerage (VA) department, you are responsible for driving projects or assignments from A to Z, contributing to fulfilling the goals decided by our politicians. You are part of a work group consisting of VA engineers, case handlers, and a technical assistant. Although each has their own areas of responsibility, you contribute together with your competence and experience to reach the goals.

The Municipal Executive Office supports three committees: the Municipal Executive Board, the Building and Environment Committee, and the Community Planning Committee. The office employs approximately 135 staff members and is divided into the central staff area, the building and environment area, and the community planning and growth area, where the VA department is included.

A day as a Project Manager within VA

Within the municipality, there are about twenty waterworks and roughly the same number of wastewater treatment plants. The pipe network consists of over 360 kilometers of drinking water pipes, over 250 kilometers of sewage pipes, and approximately 100 kilometers of stormwater pipes that need to be managed and maintained. This is done simultaneously as we develop new areas for housing and business, where new pipes are laid.

Krokom Municipality is expanding the VA infrastructure in the central parts of the municipality, something you will be involved in. The project includes creating connection plans, investigations regarding transformation areas based on prioritized areas in the water service plan. You will be involved in the planning and procurement of work related to drinking water and sewage pipes.

The tasks may change over time based on the operational needs and ongoing projects.

A major advantage of working in a municipality of Krokom's size is the proximity to other operations. You will have operational collaboration with colleagues in other departments.

Your Competence

You have an academic education in road and water, environment, community planning, or a corresponding education that we assess as relevant for the job. You may also be interesting to us if you lack an academic degree but have acquired competence and experience through working life that we assess as equivalent.

You have several years of experience working as a project manager, preferably within VA. You are an experienced project manager and feel confident taking on different roles in a project.

We would like you to be accustomed to working with digital tools such as VA-banken, mapping programs, AutoCad/Civil 3D, or GIS/Geosecma.

You express yourself easily in Swedish, both orally and in writing, and have the ability to describe technically complex issues clearly, creating conditions for our politicians to understand and make strategic decisions.

It is positive if you have experience working in a politically governed organization.

We see you as a confident and independent team player who gladly takes initiative for development and improvement and contributes to a good climate in the work group. You value and maintain good relationships both internally and externally, and you are constructive in problem-solving to achieve a good whole.

You enjoy coordinating many actors and have a strong commitment to community planning, sustainable development, and public benefit.

Travel within and outside the municipality is included in the position, and a Class B driver's license is required.

Other Information

Permanent full-time employment with start date according to agreement.

We offer a fitness hour or fitness allowance as well as a benefits portal.

Before starting the recruitment process, we have taken a stance on recruitment channels and marketing. Therefore, we decline contact with salespeople.

Union representatives can be reached through the municipality's customer center, 0640-161 00.

Greeting from your future manager

As the VA Manager, I am really looking forward to welcoming a new project manager into our wonderful team in the VA department. Today, we have three engineers, three case handlers, one technical assistant, and one operations manager in the group. They will be your closest colleagues. We have many exciting projects ahead, and with our combined competence and experience, we see the various challenges of the projects as developmental and, above all, important for the municipality's growth. If it is you who steps in with us, I am convinced that you will enjoy it greatly.

Best regards 

Christian Thorgerzon, Operations Manager VA

Krokom, the municipality in the middle of Jämtland 

Krokom Municipality's borders stretch from the shores of Lake Storsjön in the south, to the vast and wild mountains in the north, and in the east, the large forests of the northern inland take over. Here live approximately 15,700 residents, in the middle of Jämtland County, with proximity to good communications to the rest of Sweden. Here there are fantastic opportunities for a rich cultural and outdoor life. People move here and want to stay, because here life itself takes place.

The municipality is part of the Sami administrative area, which means we work to strengthen the Sami language, to make the culture visible, and to give the Sami people influence.
