PROJECT MANAGER

Would you like to be part of a versatile, growing, and international company?

In this role, you will oversee the full life cycle of infrastructure projects – from tendering and planning to execution and handover. You will lead site-specific planning related to work phases, quality, safety, and environmental requirements. In addition, you’ll manage contracts, collaborate closely with clients, and take full responsibility for project schedules, budgets, and reporting. You’ll stay in close contact with site operations and all key stakeholders throughout the project.

Working closely with designers, subcontractors, clients, and authorities is an essential part of your role. Success in this position requires clear communication, strong leadership, and the ability to keep all parties aligned and informed at every stage.

This is primarily an office-based role in Vaasa, with regular site visits across the Nordics, approximately 1–2 trips per month. Occasional evening and weekend availability is expected to support site operations when needed. Some remote work is possible depending on project demands.

To succeed in this role, you should have:

• A degree in engineering (infrastructure or building construction focus)
• Several years of experience leading projects or working in infrastructure-related expert roles
• Knowledge of contract management
• The ability to manage large, complex projects with financial responsibility
• Strong IT skills (including Excel) and a structured approach to documentation
• Fluent Swedish and English; Finnish is an advantage

We value
initiative, structure, and a strong sense of responsibility. You make decisions under pressure, move things forward efficiently, and keep your team and stakeholders informed. Your communication skills are excellent, and you work constructively across different interest groups. You’re a committed leader, even when projects require flexibility beyond standard working hours.

Ready to take on projects where your work truly makes a difference? Join our skilled team and lead infrastructure projects that matter.
