If so, this could be the right role for you! We welcome your application for the position of Cartographic Engineer at the Geodata Unit! At the Geodata Unit, 15 dedicated employees currently manage surveying, maintenance of the primary map, production of new construction maps, building placement, location verification, review of site plans and base maps for detailed development plans, control networks, addressing, and the management and development of geospatial data and GIS. We actively contribute to organizational development and competence enhancement across departments in the transition toward a fully digital urban development process. The unit is also responsible for ensuring quality and timeliness of the base map, 3D model, and procurement of aerial photography and LiDAR scanning. Our team is characterized by strong collaboration, genuine interest and engagement in our tasks, loyalty to our mission, and excellent customer service for residents and businesses in Uppsala. We work digitally and activity-based, based at the municipal city hall, with the possibility to work part of your working hours remotely. Job Responsibilities As a cartographic engineer, you will play a central role in ensuring that the municipality’s geographic information remains current and reliable. Together with your colleagues, you will be responsible for managing location-based addresses and registering apartment numbers—handling the entire process from order intake and decision-making to actual updates in the cartographic database. Another key part of the role is maintaining the primary map, which entails full responsibility for collecting, processing, quality-assuring, and storing geographic data in the municipality’s database. We work with service-based updates of BAL information (Building, Address, and Apartment). In your daily work, you will use tools such as: Gaida Karta, ArcGIS Pro, LINA, and the case management system Nova Bygg. Qualifications We are looking for candidates with a higher education degree in surveying and cartography, a YH (vocational higher education) qualification, or equivalent education deemed relevant and comparable by the employer. Experience with addressing and knowledge of service-based BAL updates are meritorious. You demonstrate sound decision-making skills and feel comfortable making difficult decisions—even in complex situations—and can justify your decisions in a factual and professional manner. You thrive in direct contact with citizens and can balance strong decision-making with a friendly, service-oriented approach. As you will interact with many different people, it is essential that you have strong communication skills, are approachable, and can express yourself clearly in both Swedish and English, both orally and in writing. In addition to solid expertise in cartography and geographic data, we seek someone who is efficient, highly quality-conscious, and possesses strong geospatial competencies and a good understanding of data management. You should also have the technical insight needed to effectively use and navigate the software and technical environment used for mapping and data production. We are looking for someone who takes initiative, works systematically, and can plan and organize their work effectively. You enjoy teamwork but are also capable of working independently. The unit continuously engages in quality and efficiency improvements, and we expect you to actively participate alongside your colleagues and unit manager—hence, a strong commitment to and interest in development and quality work is essential.
