Do you want to help shape the future waterways and the role of shipping in society?

To the Maritime Cooperation and Development unit, we are seeking an Infrastructure Coordinator. The unit is organizationally placed under the Infrastructure Department.

Responsibilities

The unit works to safeguard and maintain shipping's interests regarding accessibility, navigability, and safety. The unit is also responsible for responding to remiss (consultation) requests within the shipping sector's sphere of influence, as well as other agency tasks concerning public ports and waterways. The unit also participates in strategic issues related to waterways and other sea transport-related matters. Furthermore, the unit is responsible for long-term strategic issues such as national planning of marine spatial plans, national interests, and infrastructure investments (National Plan for Transport Infrastructure). This work involves close contact with the Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket) at both national and regional levels. Within the unit, preparedness work is also carried out within the framework of civil defense. This is done in cooperation with the Swedish Armed Forces, MCF, the Swedish Transport Administration, and the Swedish Transport Agency. Some employees also work at an international level within NATO.

The unit is now seeking an Infrastructure Coordinator with a nautical background and experience from the transport sector, particularly the shipping sector. Participating in the handling of incoming remiss requests to the unit is the largest part of the work, but your role also includes contributing and assisting as an expert function in both internal and external projects, as well as participating in forums relevant to the Swedish Maritime Administration.

• experience with remiss handling or work within an agency or public administration
• experience collaborating with the Swedish Transport Administration, the Swedish Armed Forces, or work related to civil defense

We will place great emphasis on your personal qualities. The role of Infrastructure Coordinator requires you to be creative, proactive, self-reliant, and able to make independent decisions. You collaborate in a receptive manner and find it easy to create good communication in professional relationships, both internally and externally. Strategic and analytical skills are also success factors for performing the role with good results.
