WORK ASSIGNMENTS

As a Land and Development Engineer in Luleå Municipality, you will work with strategically important land and development issues related to societal development in the green industrial transition, new establishments, and the development of housing and infrastructure. You will become part of an experienced and competent team and will have close cooperation with colleagues, construction actors, business life, and other municipal operations, in a role where you will have the opportunity to help shape the municipality's long-term development.

• secure land access and rights for municipal needs, for example regarding water and sewage pipelines

In development projects on municipal land, you participate throughout the entire process, from early investigations to the sale of finished, construction-ready land, and are responsible for development economics and property law issues. The role thus involves much contact and negotiation with various parties, both private individuals and companies. In the role, you are also expected to contribute with an innovative and solution-oriented approach by analyzing and handling complex issues.

We offer a qualified and varied job with a clear connection to societal development in a municipality facing major changes, which provides good opportunities for professional development.

It is meritorious if you have:

• experience from working with land and development issues, surveying, or property law
• experience of negotiation in connection with land and property issues

To thrive and succeed in the role, you must have the ability to handle complex issues and be good at planning, driving, and completing your work. You are confident in your professional role and have a communicative ability to present the municipality's interests in a clear, objective, and trustworthy manner. It is important that you have good cooperation skills and are solution-focused; that you have a clear customer perspective and that you can identify sustainable solutions where customer and societal benefit are in focus, regardless of whether the customer is a construction actor, developer, or another municipal operation.
