About this role
Positive developments are happening in Piteå. More housing is set to be built, businesses are expected to grow, and new establishments will emerge, all while the city center is being developed and several interesting projects are underway. Additionally, the construction of the Norrbotniabanan is planned, which will create significant opportunities for the development of Piteå as a city.
Are you an experienced and driven project manager, ready for new challenges and eager to help build the future of Piteå?
**Job Responsibilities**
We are looking for an engaged project manager to expand our team working on the Norrbotniabanan. This role involves providing close support in the overall project while taking full responsibility for the Piteå Travel Center.
As the project manager for the Piteå Travel Center, you will play a central role in a historic initiative that connects Piteå with the rest of Norrland and strengthens the region's development. You will work closely with the project manager for the overall Norrbotniabanan project, where you will both support the overarching work and independently drive the travel center project.
Your primary mission is to plan, lead, and coordinate the work on Piteå's new travel center – from the early stages of planning and investigations to the completed facility. This includes both the building itself and the surrounding areas of the travel center and connections to the rest of the city. You will be responsible for steering and following up on the project against set goals, timelines, and budgets while ensuring high quality, good resource efficiency, and long-term sustainability in all parts of the process. You will ensure that the travel center not only functions as an efficient hub for travel but also becomes a place that elevates Piteå, strengthens the city's identity, contributes to an attractive and welcoming urban environment, and serves as a vibrant meeting place for the city's residents and visitors.
In the overarching Norrbotniabanan project, you will act as a partner and support to the project manager in the municipality. This involves strategic work, follow-up, and coordination of activities.
The role requires extensive collaboration and dialogue. You will work internally with various functions of the municipality and political representatives, and externally with citizens, developers, as well as stakeholders such as the Swedish Transport Administration, Region Norrbotten, and the County Administrative Board. Together, you will drive development forward and contribute to shaping the future of Piteå.
**Qualifications**
You have several years of experience in project management and an academic degree focused on community building or a similar qualification. Experience in similar tasks, preferably within politically governed organizations, is an advantage.
We are looking for someone with strong drive and a natural ability to collaborate. You communicate clearly and build good relationships while being self-sufficient and comfortable taking responsibility and driving projects forward.
You work solution-oriented, see opportunities even in complex issues, and contribute new perspectives to find ways forward.
Given that the position involves balancing different interests, strong analytical skills are essential.
You have a commitment to sustainable community development and wish to contribute to Piteå's future development.
Experience in external collaboration with government agencies is an advantage.
You need to have good verbal and written communication skills.
**More about the position**
The position is permanent and full-time. Start date according to agreement.
We welcome your application by December 15, 2025.
We kindly decline contact from recruitment agencies and advertising sales representatives.
