Can you bring out the best in others when everyday life calls for judgment?

There are days when management is about plans, structure, and follow-up. And then there are most days …

Days when tasks compete for attention. When employees need coaching. When citizens, users and partners have expectations. When resources must be prioritized. And when there is rarely a right answer.

That is where judgment becomes important.

We are therefore looking for a team leader who can navigate complexity without making it more complicated. A leader who can create direction, develop people and ensure that important operational tasks are carried out with the right quality.

A job that primarily focuses on people

You will lead about 26 employees within Property Management and Facility Management.

Some have many years in the trade. Others are newer entrants. What they have in common is that they contribute every day to ensuring the municipality's buildings function for citizens, employees and users.

Your most important task is not to be the most skilled technical specialist. Your most important task is to bring out the best in others; to create motivation and engagement. To set direction when priorities are difficult. To develop a strong community where employees succeed together.

You will become part of a strong leadership community

As a team leader you will be part of the management team in Operations and Maintenance together with four other team leaders and the department head.

We believe the best solutions are created together. Therefore we expect you to contribute with your own perspectives and actively support the overall development of the department.

You are not alone with the leadership task here.

Your most important tasks

You will among other things

• lead and develop about 26 employees
• create well-being, engagement and professional development
• ensure stable and efficient operation of the municipality's buildings and facilities
• prioritize resources and tasks in a complex daily life
• work with occupational safety, sick leave and competence development
• contribute to digitalization and development of workflows
• support collaboration with institutions, users and other partners
• contribute to succession planning and knowledge transfer in the organization. Operations and Maintenance are currently working purposefully to retain knowledge and competencies in connection with the succession among employees

Who are you?

We do not expect you can do everything. But we do expect that you can lead.

You will probably have experience in personnel management and may come from property management, facility management, technical service, the crafts industry or another operations organization.

In addition, we imagine that you

• are clear and present in your leadership
• have the courage to make decisions
• can inspire followership through relationships and trust
• are good at listening, involving and setting direction
• have financial understanding and an eye for prioritization
• remain calm and maintain overview when daily life changes
• believe that results are created together with people

Why you should choose us

With Operations and Maintenance you have the opportunity to make a real difference.

You will become a leader in an organization with high professionalism, broad responsibilities and ambitious development goals. The department works, among other things, with developing the service foundation, digitalization, sustainable solutions and a shared view of citizens that places collaboration, dialogue and respect at the center.

You will have influence.

You will have responsibility.

You will have the opportunity to influence both people, culture and results.
