Operations Planner for the Road Area in Operations and Service

Are you good at planning, coordinating and following concrete tasks through to completion? Do you thrive close to road operations and in collaboration with internal and external partners? Then you might be our new operations planner.

A newly created position with its own areas of responsibility

The position is new and created to strengthen daily task execution and create better opportunities to develop the road area. You will have independent responsibility for concrete tasks, which you prepare, solve and follow through.

You will primarily collaborate with the operations coordinators, the project manager, the municipality's other departments and external partners.

The position does not include management or resource responsibility. Tasks that are to be carried out by the teams are prepared and handed over to the operations coordinator, who is responsible for further planning and allocation of resources.

Your primary tasks will be to

• Plan and follow up on tasks in connection with events.
• Order signs and marking equipment.
• Handle tasks related to road drainage and drainage problems.
• Coordinate with contractors, suppliers, utility companies and other external partners.

• Prepare and describe tasks for transfer to the operations coordinator / external parties.
• Support the operations coordinators and the project manager, and participate in cross-cutting tasks and projects.
• Participate in a duty roster as incident commander in winter and road watch in summer.

Who are you?

• Have experience from road, construction, contracting or utility sectors or another operations organization.
• Work independently and in a structured manner and follow tasks through to completion.
• Have understanding of practical operations and the interplay between planning and execution.
• Communicate clearly and can collaborate with colleagues, citizens and external companies.
• Have good IT skills and a desire to learn new systems and areas of expertise.

Your educational background is not decisive. Experience with municipal operations, road drainage, signage, events or external partners is an advantage, but not a requirement.
