Senior Establishment and Project Manager

ABOUT THE CLIENT

Rexel is one of Sweden's leading electrical wholesalers and an important player in electrification. With approximately SEK 6.7 billion in turnover, 650 employees and 67 branches, the company combines a strong market position with local presence.

Rexel is now developing its branch network and investing in digitalisation, AI and more efficient ways of working. As Senior Establishment and Project Manager you will have the opportunity to influence both the branches of the future and how establishment projects are carried out in an organisation with high ambitions.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As Senior Establishment and Project Manager you are responsible for planning, coordinating and delivering change projects within Rexel's nationwide branch network. You belong to the Marketing team, report to the Marketing Manager and work closely with the Branch division and other functions.

You lead projects from planning to completed delivery and handover, with responsibility for timelines, budgets, risks and coordination. The role involves many points of contact and gives you considerable scope to develop shared processes and create long-term efficient ways of working.

In the role you will, among other things:

• Lead new establishments, relocations, refurbishments, mergers, conversions and closures

• Be responsible for project plans, budgets, risk management, cost follow-up and decision-making materials

• Coordinate internal functions, property owners, contractors and suppliers and follow up deliveries

• Drive premises searches and monitor premises leases, contract deadlines, options and documentation

• Coordinate project meetings, installations, branch fittings and commissioning

• Develop checklists, templates and shared ways of working for more efficient project delivery

You get a role with great opportunity to influence how Rexel works with establishment projects going forward. It is not just about carrying out projects, but also about developing structures and processes that create long-term value for the business.

ABOUT YOU

We are looking for you with solid experience of qualified project management, preferably in operations with many stakeholders, parallel projects and external partners. You create structure, drive the work forward and make well-founded decisions even when conditions change.

To succeed in the role we see that you have:

• Several years' experience of independently driving complex projects from start to finish

• Good experience of budget work, financial follow-up and commercial prioritisation

• Understanding of commercial contracts, contract monitoring and preferably premises leases and negotiations

• Understanding of premises, construction contracts, installations and commissioning, without a requirement for specialist building technology expertise

• Experience of supplier management, requirements specification and follow-up

• Ability to create clear processes, allocation of responsibilities and efficient ways of working

• Very good Swedish, good English and a B driving licence, plus willingness to travel for work

As a person you are structured, solution-oriented and strong on execution. You communicate clearly, build good relationships and dare to set requirements. You combine collaborative ability with commercial awareness and a strong drive of your own.

For us, the most important combination is structure, commercial awareness, collaborative ability and a strong drive of your own.

MERITS

Experience of establishments, construction or relocation projects and branch refurbishments, preferably within retail, wholesale or other operations with multiple units. Experience of premises leases, contract negotiations, OneFlow or similar systems, and process development and change management is also meritorious. You do not need to come from a specific industry.

Start date: January 2027 or by agreement

Employment type: Full-time

Location: Flexible placement within central and southern Sweden, with possibility of hybrid working

Business travel: The role involves regular travel within Sweden, which can periodically be extensive depending on the scope of the projects and the delivery phase. It is therefore important that you have both the opportunity and the willingness to travel for work
