Vacant job

Robertsfors Municipality is a coastal municipality characterized by openness between people, ideas, and places. Here, people live and work to get even more out of life. Robertsfors Municipality is facing a historically expansive period due to its attractive location between the cities of Skellefteå and Umeå. Along the Norrland coast, billions are being invested in both infrastructure and business establishments, creating exciting development opportunities for Robertsfors Municipality.

Robertsfors has the advantage of a smaller municipality, namely the proximity between people and decision-makers. The municipality is also within a convenient commuting distance from the larger neighboring municipalities of Umeå and Skellefteå and is part of the Umeå region. When the Norrbothnian Line is completed, with its travel center in central Robertsfors, the commuting time between Robertsfors and neighboring cities will be halved. Robertsfors Municipality has just over 750 monthly employees.
