Regional Development, Energy & Community Building Section Would you like to contribute to direction, coordination, and progress in energy transition work, good urban planning, and regional development in Jönköping County? We are looking for someone who enjoys creating overview, maintaining processes, and providing others with good conditions to succeed. With us, you will have an important role close to the section head, colleagues, and collaboration partners in an operation with many assignments, projects, and development initiatives. The Role of Assistant Section Head This role does not involve personnel management, but you will have a central coordinating and leadership function in the section's work, both internally and in collaboration with other stakeholders. You will work closely with the section head and contribute to operational management, project portfolio, follow-up, working methods, and development processes. The assignment covers both the section's overall work and, with particular emphasis, the operations of Energy Office Northern Småland. In this role, you create overview, structure, and momentum in an operation with many parallel assignments. You prepare, coordinate, and follow up on matters related to management, projects, finances, operational planning, and meeting structures. Formal management decisions, personnel responsibility, work environment responsibility, and budget responsibility rest with the section head, but the role requires that you can work independently and drive processes forward within given parameters. What You Will Work With • Supporting the section head in management, planning, coordination, and follow-up. • Developing internal working methods, meeting structures, operational planning, and shared processes. • Coordinating and following up on the section's portfolio of projects and assignments together with project managers, project coordinators, controllers, and other functions. • Contributing to project initiations, project reviews, closures, resource planning, and prioritizations. • Preparing materials for internal meetings and steering groups and, as needed, representing the section or the Energy Office. Your Future Workplace You will become part of the Energy and Community Building Section within Regional Development at Region Jönköping County. Within Regional Development, we work on the county's long-term development together with municipalities, authorities, businesses, academia, and other stakeholders. Energy Office Northern Småland is a central part of the section and works with the county's stakeholders on the transition of the energy system in Jönköping County. The role therefore has a special connection to the Energy Office's operations, while also encompassing the section's overall assignments. The section's work spans the future energy system, sustainable construction, good urban planning, energy- and resource-efficient business, sustainable transport, transport infrastructure, and digital connectivity. We work through projects and assignments, process management, knowledge support, analysis, advocacy work, and collaboration. With us, you become part of an engaged section with about twenty colleagues and broad expertise. Your Profile We are looking for someone with relevant university education in, for example, social sciences, public administration, project management, urban planning, energy, environment, or another field that the employer deems relevant. You have experience in coordinating processes, projects, or development work in complex environments where multiple stakeholders, perspectives, and dependencies need to be balanced. You are experienced in creating structure, driving matters forward, and contributing to common direction even when conditions change. We would like to see experience in several of the following areas: • Operational management, operational development, or qualified management support. • Project management, project governance, or project portfolio management. • Externally financed operations, project applications, project follow-up, or work with financiers. • Public sector, regional development, or politically governed operations. • Collaboration between municipalities, regions, authorities, businesses, or other societal stakeholders. It is a merit if you have experience in energy and climate transition, urban planning, regional development, or similar matters. Subject matter expertise within our areas is valuable, but the focus is on operational management, project logic, coordination, and progress together with others. As a person, you are confident, structured, and responsive. You have a holistic perspective, build trust, identify needs early, and have good judgment when priorities need to be made. You enjoy coordinating and leading through structure, trust, and collaboration. You express yourself clearly and pedagogically in Swedish, both verbally and in writing, and work digitally as a natural part of your approach. We place great emphasis on personal suitability and strive for diversity and equality. What We Offer You We offer an important and developmental role where you can contribute to some of today's major societal challenges: energy and climate transition, good urban planning, and regional development, with Jönköping County as the starting point. With us, you will have a central function in an engaged operation with many skilled colleagues. You will work close to both strategic matters and the operation's implementation, and contribute to structure, working peace, and momentum in an operation with high societal value. You will have the opportunity to influence how we organize, coordinate, and develop our shared work.
