Project Manager, Structural Design

Are you an experienced structural designer who wants to combine project management with demanding concrete structure design? Would you like to be responsible for the design entities of projects, leading a team while remaining involved in the design work itself? We are seeking a Project Manager for Structural Design for our Vaasa team to handle diverse design projects. As a Project Manager for Structural Design, you will lead structural design from the beginning to the end of projects. You will be responsible for the overall design, guide the design group, manage schedules and resources, and maintain active contact with the client and other stakeholders. You will also participate in the design work yourself, ensuring that solutions are technically high-quality and feasible. The job description can be tailored according to your specialization and interests. It is important to us to enable opportunities for development and growth – you will be assigned projects that match your experience and skill level and offer opportunities to learn new things. We are not afraid to delegate responsibility and we trust our experts. We operate in 28 locations, and your own office will be located in Vaasa. Keys to success in the role For the Project Manager position, we require at least eight years of experience in the structural design of concrete structures, including project management responsibilities. Your educational background should be suitable for the construction industry (M.Sc. Tech / B.Sc. Arch / Engineer), and you must master both the basics of statics and the dimensioning of load-bearing structures. You are proficient in Office tools as well as AutoCAD or Tekla Structures software. Proficiency in RFEM and other industry software is considered an advantage. You have the qualification for the design of highly demanding concrete structures or the prerequisites to apply for such qualification. Since you will collaborate extensively with both Sweco colleagues and clients, you need good interaction skills and the ability to communicate fluently and clearly in Finnish. You work naturally as part of a team, but you are also comfortable with independent tasks. You take responsibility for your own design work and are not afraid to devise new ways of doing things. An open attitude and interest in various structural design tasks will help you succeed in your work. What we promise you We understand well that an expert like you is certainly in demand. We want to convince you that this job opportunity is worth seizing specifically at Sweco. Transforming society together. At Sweco, you are part of creating the cities of the future and a more sustainable society – you have a real impact. You play an important role in promoting and enabling business where a more sustainable and functional society is concretely built in daily work, across thousands of design tables, construction sites, and studios throughout Finland. A curious, bold, and encouraging work community. You will get to work with experienced architects in a close-knit community where we value, support, and encourage each other. We have diverse expertise within the company for every situation, so support for problem situations is always available. As a community, we look forward, share expertise, and solve things together. You will certainly not miss out on career and learning opportunities. It is important to us that you can develop and design your own career path, and we listen to you in this. Diverse training opportunities are provided by our own Sweco Academy's training offer. When things happen in everyday life, we are flexible. Work and other life sometimes require adjustment. Good work-life experiences are important, and you will notice this quickly if you become our colleague. We work where it is most meaningful – and we are happy to meet each other at the office.
