You’ll take a holistic approach, lead and support colleagues, and collaborate closely with clients. Assignments range from smaller local projects to larger, long-term, and complex projects spanning several years. 

Several major industrial and infrastructure initiatives are planned in Northern Sweden in the coming years. Together with you, we look forward to tackling the challenges and opportunities these projects present in the fields of infrastructure and community development.

We also expect you to have a solid understanding of the laws, standards, and technical guidelines that govern the industry, and to be able to ensure that our projects comply with applicable regulations and maintain high technical quality.

Here, you’ll have the opportunity to combine technical expertise with structured project management and business acumen in projects that contribute to urban development. Our culture is characterized by collaboration, commitment, and growth—we believe that the best solutions are created together.
