About the Role
Company: Trelleborgs kommun
In Trelleborg, we work together to build a growing, successful municipality where it is a great place to live.
Our 61 villages and 21 city districts are creative meeting places buzzing with life. Here, we take initiative, share stories, and show up just as we are—creating a welcoming, generous, and curious culture that invites others in the same spirit.
Welcome to join us on this journey!
The Workplace
The Technical Services Administration is Trelleborg Municipality’s enabler, serving as a safe, secure, and value-driven resource. We work proactively, efficiently, and sustainably alongside residents, businesses, and visitors in Trelleborg Municipality. The administration’s five departments hold overall responsibility for planning, managing, and developing the public realm within their respective areas—for example, by maintaining municipal public spaces, waste management, sewer systems, water supply, and infrastructure. We also deliver internal services such as operation and maintenance of municipal facilities, cleaning, system management, and IT support.
Since everything Trelleborg Municipality does is grounded in our core values of openness, respect, and responsibility, it is essential—and decisive—that these values are just as natural to you as they are to us in our daily work.
Department: Water and Circular Economy
Kretslopp och vatten (Water and Circular Economy) is one department within the Technical Services Administration. With around 70 employees, we ensure that our customers receive high-quality drinking water, that wastewater is properly treated before reaching recipients, and that waste management functions effectively.
As a GIS Engineer, you will join the Investigation and Development unit—one of four units within the Water and Circular Economy department. This unit provides advisory support across the entire department and consists of a diverse team with broad expertise: 7 investigation engineers with various specializations, 2 GIS engineers, 3 environmental engineers, and a unit manager. You will work on assignments commissioned by the Sewer Production unit and support operations on environmental-related matters.
We are currently seeking someone to temporarily replace a colleague on leave. This temporary position runs for one year.
Job Duties
In the role of GIS Engineer, you will maintain the digital water and sewer network, using data sources such as GPS measurements and pipeline inspections conducted via camera in the pipelines. You will be responsible for responding to requests received, for example, through Ledningskollen (the pipeline inquiry system), and for producing maps for various purposes.
During the assignment, tasks may include geospatial processing, statistical analysis, and other types of analysis.
We use ESRI software (ArcMap, ArcGIS Pro, and Field Maps) as well as Geosecma Ledning VA.
Qualifications
Completed foundational GIS education at post-secondary level.
Strong proficiency in Swedish, both spoken and written.
Experience or education in water and sewer (VA) systems and prior work with ESRI software is considered meritorious.
Valid Class B driver’s license for a manual transmission vehicle is required.
To thrive and succeed in this role, you are:
Structured and organized
Capable of independently driving work forward
Collaborative, attentive, and communicative
Able to communicate clearly, both verbally and in writing, especially when collaborating with colleagues
Respectful of and supportive toward your colleagues, and willing to share your knowledge and experience
We place great emphasis on personal qualities.
If you recognize yourself in the above description and are ready for your next role alongside Trelleborg Municipality, we would be delighted to receive your application.
