Vacant job

The position is located within the Administration of Business Support and Service, which is one of eight administrations in Linköping Municipality. Within the administration, the municipality's internal services and service functions are consolidated. We contribute to the development of the municipality's operations and cross-municipal service solutions.

Do you want to improve the everyday life, future, and quality of life for the residents of Linköping? With us, you can combine important assignments with a meaningful daily routine. Welcome to us!

Your responsibilities

As a network technician with us, you will have a varied and responsible role where you work in an environment with switches, routers, firewalls, and wireless networks. You are part of the 3rd line and work with troubleshooting of the municipality's IT network and participate in various operational and development projects. The duties also include important work with continuous system documentation.

A large part of the role involves close dialogue with our customers, who consist of the municipality's operations and municipal companies, as well as communication with our external suppliers. Based on your specialized competence, we have good opportunities to adapt the role – for example, with a focus on programming and configuration automation, or on implementation and design of network architecture.

Your workplace

The IT department is part of Business Support and Service within Linköping Municipality. Here, approximately 100 colleagues work to provide IT services to the municipality's operations, which in turn creates value for users, students, and residents in Linköping. We work process-oriented in accordance with ITIL Service Management and are certified according to ISO 20000, which gives us the right conditions to maintain high quality and efficiency throughout our operations.

We strive for every employee to feel job satisfaction, have influence, and get good opportunities to develop, both professionally and as an individual. With us, the work is forward-looking, varied, and challenging. Our culture is characterized by a responsive work climate and open dialogue, where you are offered great opportunities for continuous competence development.

On the Systems & Communication department, we work with the operation and development of the municipality's consolidated server infrastructure, networks, and databases on both Windows and Linux platforms. We also handle all the systems that make up the IT landscape in Linköping Municipality. There are 14 of us on the department, most of whom work as network technicians or system technicians. We sit together in modern, activity-based offices in Ebbepark. Working hours are office hours with trust-based working time, which means you have the trust to arrange your working hours based on operational requirements, and there is some possibility of remote work.

You who apply

We are looking for you who have completed upper secondary education, or another education that we assess as equivalent. To succeed in the role, you need practical experience working with switches, routers, access points, wireless networks, and firewalls. Since communication and system documentation are important parts of your daily routine, you must have good knowledge of both Swedish and English, both spoken and written. The position also requires a valid B driver's license.

It is meritorious for the role if you have a certification within CCNA, CCNP, or equivalent. We also see it as a valuable addition if your background includes experience in project work, either as a project participant or project manager. Furthermore, we value experience in automation and scripting, as well as network design and architecture. If you have previously worked with network infrastructure within municipal operations, this is an additional advantage in your work with us.

As a person, you have good collaboration skills, which means you work well with other people, relate to them in a responsive and smooth manner, and listen, communicate, and resolve conflicts in a constructive way. You are also self-reliant and take responsibility for your task by structuring your approach yourself and driving your processes forward. In your professional role, you are service-oriented and maintain a calm, attentive, and accommodating attitude, with interest, willingness, and ability to help others, and you strive to deliver solutions. Furthermore, you are relationship-building, which means you are outgoing and socially active in professional contexts, and you enjoy creating contacts and maintaining relationships. Finally, you possess good problem-solving analytical skills that enable you to work well with complex issues; you analyze and break down problems into their components to effectively solve complicated challenges.

Since the employment for the position is placed in a security class, Swedish citizenship is required. Security clearance with register check will be conducted prior to employment. It is conducted by Linköping Municipality when the selection process is complete. In this recruitment, we may use tests as part of our assessment.

The last day for applications is August 23, after which we will begin our selection work.

We warmly welcome your application!
