About this role
Järfälla Municipality is an expanding community where more people will share existing infrastructure while new infrastructure is being built. Järfälla is a dynamic municipality located northwest of Stockholm, combining proximity to nature, urban life, and water. In Barkarbystaden, a completely new, modern district is emerging, featuring housing, commerce, workplaces, and a new subway station that enhances Järfälla's already excellent transportation links. Järfälla is a multifaceted suburb with a rich mix of cultures, residential areas, and recreational opportunities.
Currently, approximately 320 people work in the Community Building Administration, acting on behalf of the Technical Committee, the Environmental and Building Permit Committee, and the Municipal Executive Administration. Together, we are creating the future Järfälla – a place for everyone.
The Property Department consists of around 50 employees and is responsible for approximately 430,000 m² of premises, including schools, preschools, cultural and sports facilities, as well as care and nursing homes, of which over 100,000 m² are leased premises and apartments distributed across nearly 200 agreements. We need to recruit an experienced Leasing Agent with group leadership responsibilities for about 4 employees.
The department consists of 3 units; in addition to the management unit, there is also a project management unit responsible for renovations and extensions, as well as a customer and technical unit. The department is characterized by a positive atmosphere, development with the customer at the center, and employees with high competence. As we have actively worked on this, we are now reaping the rewards with high employee engagement scores and high customer satisfaction.
