In this role, you are responsible for the municipality's parks, green areas, streets, and squares.

At the same time, there is well-developed cooperation with the municipality's labor market unit and water and wastewater operations for parts of the maintenance carried out in-house.

You ensure that assignments are ordered, led, followed up on, and developed in a structured and professional manner, with a focus on quality, economy, and goal achievement. The role is both strategic and operational, involving close collaboration with other departments, political leadership, contractors, and residents.

You are part of the technical department's management group within the Community Planning Office. The management group consists, in addition to the department head, of the waste manager, the water and wastewater manager, and the manager for metering and GIS. Together, you are responsible for the strategic development of the operations and report to the Technical Committee.

Your Main Responsibilities:

• Responsibility for personnel, budget, and work environment.
• Overall responsibility for the maintenance and development of the municipality's parks, green areas, bathing areas, streets, and squares.
• Lead and develop the operations and the group as a client organization. As a representative, you are responsible for planning, ordering, and following up on operations, maintenance, and investments through contracted contractors and suppliers.
• Ensure clear requirements, contract compliance, and good quality in deliveries.
• Collaboration with other municipal operations as well as external actors.
• Preparation, presentation, and implementation of decisions from the committee and political leadership.
• Contribute to achieving the municipality's goals regarding traffic safety, accessibility, permeability, and climate adaptation.

We are looking for someone who has:

• Relevant higher education or university degree in fields such as community planning, landscape architecture, road/traffic engineering, or equivalent as assessed by the employer.
• Several years of experience in managerial or leadership roles within park, street, or similar technical operations.
• Good experience working in a client organization.
• Knowledge of contract law.
• Good familiarity with the processes for procurement and contract follow-up within agreements for technical management and/or land contracting.
• Good understanding of municipal operations, economy, and political decision-making processes.
• Good communication skills in Swedish, both verbal and written.
• Valid driver's license (Category B).

You are a confident and clear leader who is accustomed to setting demands while simultaneously building good relationships. You work in a structured manner, are analytical, and have the ability to follow up on results, economy, and quality. You thrive working both strategically and close to the operations.
