Vacant job

Welcome to Sundsvall Municipality!

Sundsvall Municipality is one of the largest employers in Northern Sweden, with around 8,000 employees and over 300 professions. Together, we fulfill one of society's most important missions – creating utility and value for residents, businesses, and future generations. Regardless of the department, we work towards the same goal: to be a great place to live, work, and thrive.

We are currently in an exciting phase of development. We are a driving force in digital development and artificial intelligence, and together we create smart solutions for the people of Sundsvall today and in the future.

We are facing major transitions to meet citizens' needs in the long term – do you want to be part of this journey?

Your new workplace

Do you want to work with stable, secure, and modern network infrastructure in a complex environment that is constantly evolving?

Here, you will have significant technical responsibility, the opportunity to influence architecture and working methods, and the chance to work on solutions that make a difference for thousands of users across several municipalities.

At Sundsvall Municipality, we think a bit differently than many others when it comes to digitalization and IT. We strive to create a climate within the entire organization that promotes courage, innovation, gender equality, and adaptability, while ensuring high quality in all our deliverables. We share what we do, inviting citizens, businesses, and other municipalities and authorities to collaborate and co-create with us. At the same time, we set clear requirements for system suppliers and the industry to think differently, to work with modern, future-proof technology and open, shared solutions. This has resulted in us being awarded the title "Sweden's Digitalization Municipality" in 2021, and in 2024, our IT Director was named CIO of the Year by Dagens Industri.

We work long-term, prioritize security, and build a robust environment with modern tools and a clear technology strategy. We are now looking for a Network Technician who can strengthen our team and contribute to both daily operations and our development journey.
