Project Manager for the Facility Management Unit, Umeå

Workplace Description

Are you ready for a bigger task? At the Police Authority's Finance Department, you, together with your colleagues, contribute to increasing safety and reducing crime in society.

Premises for the future's police operations

The Police Authority operates in a constantly changing society. As society evolves, so do the requirements for the Police's operations, service, and premises. To meet the Police's planned growth and future needs, the Authority must also adapt its premises to the new conditions.

Developing new premises or decommissioning existing ones often takes a long time. Therefore, long-term planning is required for the Police Authority to stay ahead and ensure that operations have suitable premises over time.

The Police Authority rents several different types of premises depending on the activity being conducted. Some of these include police stations, office premises, operational premises, vehicle and garage facilities, training and exercise facilities, storage and warehouse facilities, and detention cells. The Authority rents all premises from external landlords depending on the type of facility. The current property portfolio comprises approximately 1.8 million square meters, distributed across about 1,850 lease agreements with over 500 different landlords.

The Facility Management Unit's mission and organization

The mission of the Facility Management Unit is to ensure that the Police Authority has appropriate and cost-effective premises that support operational needs.

The unit is responsible for the strategic work of planning, developing, and coordinating the Authority's facility management. The organization consists of seven regional sections: North, Central, Bergslagen, Stockholm, East, West, and South. Additionally, there is a national development section and a group for national projects. Approximately 140 employees work within the unit.

The regional sections consist of administration and project groups. The administration groups are responsible for ongoing dialogue with landlords and operating units within the Police Authority that use the premises, as well as monitoring lease agreements and facility-related needs. They also handle smaller facility projects and adaptations and ensure that property owners fulfill their commitments.

The project groups are responsible for implementing larger facility projects, such as renovations, reconstructions, and new constructions. The work covers the entire process—from feasibility studies and planning to implementation.

The group for national projects is responsible for managing facility projects that are prioritized by the Authority's leadership and that have special significance from a national perspective.

The Development Section works on developing guidelines, design instructions, and long-term planning within the facility management area and monitors compliance. The section is also responsible for overall planning and follow-up of the unit's activities, internal communication, and contract management, as well as providing legal and technical support in the area.
