About this role
Location: Tretorn, Campus, Galoschan and Kadorran - as they say, a beloved child has many names. With seven floors and 51,000 square meters, the Tretorn Factory has made a significant mark on Helsingborg over the years.
Fabriken1891, a name that reflects the building's history while creating new associations, was originally put into use in 1891 by Helsingborg Rubber Factory AB, where all types of rubber-based products were manufactured until the 80s.
Today, the property is owned and managed by Wihlborgs and consists of approximately 51,000 m², with just over a quarter used by Lund University. The remaining spaces mainly house modern office spaces, and there are also a gym and several restaurants. The Restaurant: Fabriken Helsingborg has 240 seats, a café, and opportunities for private events. We have preserved the factory's original character and used recycling during renovation, creating a place that connects the history with the building, where guests at Fabriken1891 want to hang out.
Team: The team will consist of 4 people, where you will work as the Unit Manager's right-hand person.
