Around 450 dedicated employees work here, working together to keep Borås running in everyday life. We are responsible, among other things, for ensuring that all employees within Borås City receive their salaries, that the city's IT infrastructure functions, that the grid network is operated and maintained, and that roads, green areas, and properties are intact, safe, and well-maintained.

The Contracting Department is one of six departments within the Service Office. Around 130 people work here in several areas, such as asphalt and streets, site cleaning, construction, water and sewerage, as well as parks and green areas. The department works on behalf of municipal administrations and companies. The largest clients are the Leisure and Public Health Administration, the Technical Administration, the Premises Supply Administration, Borås Energi och Miljö, and Nätkraft Borås. The assignments range from operation and maintenance work to project implementation within reinvestments and investments, both on quarter land and public land, within land and construction projects such as streets, development, district heating, and water and sewerage. The Contracting Department has a turnover of around 400 million SEK and is a pioneer in municipal operations regarding work carried out in-house. The work is done in close cooperation with procured subcontractors and framework agreement suppliers.

We are now looking for an experienced estimator who, together with the department's two current estimators, will work on everything from preparing estimates and conducting procurements and purchases according to LOU, to supporting around 15 foremen before, during, and after projects.

As an estimator, you will primarily work with estimates for land and construction projects within district heating, water and sewerage, streets, and land. You will also handle tender work, procurements, purchases, and requests for quotations. The role involves supporting foremen in construction work with both theoretical and practical questions, such as purchasing, law, planning, and to some extent work preparation. You play a central role in quality assurance and follow-up of the organization's processes.

The position entails significant personal responsibility and good opportunities to influence, while you have strong collegial support within the organization.

We are looking for you who have professional experience in estimating construction jobs within street and stone work and/or district heating and water and sewerage. Experience with estimation in operation and maintenance is an advantage. You have experience in conducting procurements, writing tenders, and are accustomed to working in estimation programs for land and construction. Experience with BidCon is an advantage.

You have a university education in a relevant field or equivalent experience assessed by the employer as equivalent. You have good knowledge of tender requests, contracts/framework agreements, LOU, AMA and MER construction, General Conditions, and other standard contracts for the construction sector, as well as other relevant legal knowledge in the area. Knowledge of design is considered an advantage. Very good knowledge of land and construction is a prerequisite for the position. Likewise, you must have good computer skills, a B driving license, and express yourself very well in Swedish, both orally and in writing.

To succeed in the role, we see that you are administratively skilled, structured, and have an easy time building good relationships and collaborating with others.
