About the Operations
The Contracting Department is one of six departments within the Service Office. About 130 people work here in several areas, such as asphalt and streets, land maintenance, construction, water and sewage, and parks and green spaces. The department works on assignment for municipal administrations and companies. The largest clients are the Recreation and Public Health Administration, the Technical Administration, the Premises Supply Administration, Borås Energy and Environment, and Nätkraft Borås. The assignments include everything from operations and maintenance work to project implementations within reinvestments and investments, both on property land and public land, within land and construction projects such as streets, development, district heating, and water and sewage. The Contracting Department has a turnover of approximately 400 million kronor and is a pioneer in municipal operations regarding in-house work. The work is carried out in close cooperation with contracted subcontractors and framework agreement suppliers.
We are now seeking an experienced estimator who, together with the department's two current estimators, will work with everything from preparing estimates and conducting procurement and purchases according to the Public Procurement Act, to supporting approximately 15 site managers before, during, and after projects.
Work Tasks
As an estimator, you will primarily work with estimates for land and construction projects within district heating, water and sewage, streets, and land. You will also handle tender work, procurements, purchases, and quote requests. The role includes supporting site managers in construction work with both theoretical and practical matters, such as procurement, legal issues, planning, and to some extent work planning. You have a central role when it comes to quality assurance and follow-up of the department's processes.
The position entails significant independent responsibility and good opportunities to make an impact, while you have strong collegial support in the organization.
Qualifications
We are looking for you who have professional experience estimating construction jobs within street and stone work and/or district heating as well as water and sewage. If you also have experience with estimating within operations and maintenance, that is a merit. You have experience conducting procurements, writing bids, and are accustomed to working in estimation programs for land and construction. Experience with BidCon is a merit.
You have higher education in a relevant field or equivalent experience that the employer considers equivalent. You have good knowledge of bid requests, agreements/framework agreements, the Public Procurement Act, AMA and MER construction, General Terms and Conditions, and other standard contracts for the construction sector, as well as other relevant legal knowledge in the field. Knowledge of design is considered a merit. Excellent knowledge of land and construction is a prerequisite for the position. Similarly, you have good computer skills, a class B driver's license, and express yourself very well in Swedish, both orally and in writing.
To succeed in the role, we see that you are administratively skilled, structured, and have an aptitude for creating good relationships and collaborating with others.Application
