Vacant job

Are you ready for a major challenge? We are now looking for driven and communicative project managers who want to work on large new construction, renovation, and extension projects. Here, you will develop alongside professional, engaged, and friendly colleagues, gaining lifelong experiences while your work contributes to increasing safety and reducing crime in Sweden.

The Swedish Police Authority is in an expansion phase with many newly hired officers. The need for new police stations is great, and premises need to be adapted to the operational requirements. The Authority does not own any premises but rents approximately 1.5 million square meters of space distributed across about 1,100 lease agreements, with a rental cost of approximately 2.3 billion SEK.

The Premises Supply Unit consists of seven regional sections, with associated groups distributed across administration and projects. There is also a group for nationally decided premises projects, organized directly under the unit manager. Furthermore, there is a national section responsible for development, with groups for steering and analysis, legal affairs, and technology. In total, approximately 120 employees work within the unit. You will belong to Project Group Central (Mitt), which after recruitment will consist of six project managers and a group manager.

The property portfolio is varied, including older houses from the 1970s as well as new and modern police stations. Our portfolio is unique with technology-intensive premises and high security requirements. The group drives projects in Police Region Central, which consists of Gävleborg County, Uppsala County, and Västmanland County.

The main location is Uppsala, where this position is also based. There is an opportunity to work from home up to two days a week upon special agreement.
