Vacant job

Building and maintaining roads and infrastructure is a big task. Contributing to societal development is even bigger. With us, you get to do both. We are now looking for a Foreman for our construction operations in Östergötland. Within Svevia, we combine the camaraderie and team spirit of a small company with the stability of a large corporation. Here, you have the opportunity to develop as a road specialist – with engagement, collaboration, and responsibility.

Your role as Foreman

As a Foreman at Svevia, you will play a key role in our construction projects. You will be responsible for leading and coordinating on-site work to ensure the project progresses according to plan, as well as creating and following up on schedules. A key part of the role is conducting quality work preparations together with your team and holding regular meetings with internal employees and subcontractors. A Foreman at Svevia is accustomed to handling invoice checks, diaries, notifications, and other quality documentation.

You will belong to a larger area managed by a Construction Manager, with a focus on projects in Östergötland. This means you may need to be on-site at projects from Monday to Thursday, depending on the project's location in the region.

Who are you?

To be successful in this role, we consider it a given that you have experience in the role of Foreman within construction and infrastructure projects, either with a focus on earthworks or concrete. As a person, you are proactive, solve problems, and tackle the challenges and changes that arise in daily work. You thrive on taking responsibility and enjoy an independent role; you are eager to contribute ideas and have the ability to create profitable business. You are motivated and grow by working with problem-solving and planning, and you do this with order and structure.

Leadership is and will always remain a key issue for us. We believe in developmental leadership where you, as a leader, bring out the best in your colleagues and contribute to building a strong and healthy team.

Good communication skills in Swedish, both verbal and written, computer proficiency, and a valid B-driver's license are considered prerequisites.

Part of something bigger

With well-knit work crews, we build Sweden from the ground up – in concrete, steel, wood, stone, and earth. We do this by building roads, bridges, quays, and concrete structures for industry, the state, and municipalities. Additionally, we break new ground and pave the way for water and sewage networks, wind power parks, and development areas. We also have specialized units within foundation and soil remediation. Together with Svevia's other operations in road maintenance and paving, you become an important cog in a larger societal machine. This opens up new opportunities for innovation and problem-solving.

Why Svevia?

With us, you quickly become part of the team, and we strive to be a workplace for everyone. Decision-making paths are short, it is easy to influence, and to make your voice heard.

We offer career paths for those who wish to become managers and leaders, or who want to develop in their current professional role. We create success as a team. This is how we do business and generate results. This is how we make cities and the countryside function. Do you want to share the road with us?
