We’re now looking for two construction project managers for temporary positions due to parental leave!

About Us

Fastighet is one of Umeå’s largest developers and is responsible for the construction of commercial spaces such as preschools, schools, senior living facilities, and group homes.

Your Responsibilities

As a Construction Project Manager in the real estate sector, you’ll work alongside friendly and knowledgeable colleagues on a varied range of exciting and diverse construction projects. In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to independently take responsibility for the execution of construction projects, leading and monitoring both large and small investment and renovation projects.

You are a good team player and build strong, long-term relationships with colleagues, clients, and other partners. The position requires strong planning and organizational skills, including the ability to prioritize, organize, and manage your schedule.

We also believe you have a strong ability to handle the changing conditions that can arise in a construction project and make appropriate decisions by leveraging your own expertise as well as that of your colleagues. You are also expected to contribute to knowledge sharing and the development of our operations. We place great emphasis on your personal suitability.
