Additionally, the construction of the Norrbotten Line is planned, which will create great opportunities for Piteå's urban development.
Are you ready for new challenges and want to help build Piteå's future?
Job Responsibilities
As a land and development engineer with us, you'll have a key role in developing both the city and rural areas. You'll be part of a committed land and development team working to ensure land availability for Piteå's current and future needs in a way that benefits community development, business, and residents.
You'll have numerous contact points and engage in dialogue with property owners, developers, consultants, and authorities, while collaborating closely with other municipal functions.
In the role, you will:
• Be a key person in municipal development by driving and coordinating land and development issues in various projects and planning processes.
• Create the best possible conditions for residents, businesses, and associations to use municipal land – from idea to reality – by developing and managing various forms of land agreements and allocations.
• Contribute to developing and strengthening the municipality's land holdings through strategic purchases, sales, and long-term decisions that create future value.
• Help shape a sustainable and attractive municipality where business growth and residents' quality of life go hand in hand.
Qualifications
We are seeking someone with strong drive and a natural ability to collaborate. You communicate clearly and build good relationships – both within the organization and with external contacts – thanks to your attentive and unpretentious approach.
You work solution-oriented, see opportunities even in complex issues, and contribute new perspectives to find ways forward.
We prefer candidates with an academic degree or other education combined with experience we deem equivalent. You should have several years of experience in land and development matters, and knowledge of negotiation and property law, such as property acquisition and sales, is advantageous.
As a person, you are self-motivated and enjoy taking responsibility and driving projects forward. You plan and organize your work in a structured and resource-efficient manner while valuing good collaboration and collective results.
A driver's license (B-class) is an advantage.
