You are responsible for the overall leadership, steering, and follow-up of projects. Furthermore, you contribute motivation and inspiration to your project team to create a good work environment. The role involves extensive contact both internally and with external parties. You work closely with our contracted contractors and hold regular meetings with them.

I am your manager, Christian Dahlskog. Through open and honest dialogue, I drive the business forward. With a shared focus and responsibility, we deliver results and build trust both internally and externally. We have fun together and enjoy our work. I hope you want to join us on our journey to develop a modern, efficient, and sustainable transport system!
