You will work with many different projects and tasks. Therefore we would like you to have experience with building case handling from another municipality or from a private consultancy.

• are used to using IT in your daily work, as we receive and process our case materials digitally

We offer

• employment in an organization where citizens and businesses are put at the center
• an informal and dynamic environment where building case processing takes place with a high degree of delegation of responsibility and competences
• opportunity, together with your colleagues, to put a personal mark on your workplace
• opportunity to develop and further educate yourself
