About the role and your responsibilities

As a traffic engineer with us, you will work broadly with the municipality's ongoing traffic issues. You will, among other things, work with follow-up and analysis of traffic and travel development in Lund Municipality, investigate and process traffic cases and consultations, work on traffic safety measures and accessibility for all modes of transport, prepare decision materials for the Technical Committee, and act as an advisor on traffic matters in various contexts. The tasks are varied and will develop over time. You will have many different contacts. The public, collaboration with colleagues within the municipal organization, as well as with external stakeholders and authorities, will be part of your daily routine. You will participate in small to large development projects and lead and drive investment projects from sketch design to completed facilities.

Involvement in larger infrastructure and urban development projects may also become relevant, e.g., Lund C and Four Tracks. The recruitment may eventually result in more than one employment.

• Have several years of work experience in a relevant area, for example, traffic engineer, traffic investigator, designer, project manager, or equivalent within infrastructure and traffic.

We would like you to be broad in your traffic competence, have a good understanding of the requirements and needs of different road user groups, and be able to make wise trade-offs in relation to the goals the municipality has decided on. You have good experience with AutoCAD or similar drawing programs.

Advantageous is experience of municipal technology and municipal planning processes as well as knowledge in design. Advantageous is also experience of working with traffic issues in large, complex infrastructure or urban development projects, as well as experience of driving projects and/or acting as a specialist in project groups with several different technical areas.

In this recruitment, we have chosen to remove the personal letter and replace it with selection questions. Your answers will become an important part of our selection work.
