Welcome Mariana - our new project manager

Mariana Engman is the new project manager at Jörnträhus and will in her job strengthen and clarify our delivery process. She has previously worked as a designer and project manager at WSP.

What attracted you to apply for the job?
- It sounded like an exciting role at an interesting company that is moving forward. I have been at WSP for a long time and wanted to try something new. At Jörnträhus I get a completely new role that I can be involved in designing myself, it feels very inspiring.

What are your tasks as a project manager?
- I coordinate and take a holistic approach to projects. I make sure that we deliver on time and get paid for it. The idea is also to make things clearer for our customers. I become their contact and then distribute jobs within the organisation.

You have worked for 13.5 years as a designer and project manager in construction at WSP. What do you bring from there in your new role at Jörnträhus?
- My experience as a designer means that I have technical knowledge that I will benefit greatly from at Jörnträhus. Then I have worked with project management and there is a lot of coordination and contacts with consultants and clients, tasks that touch on what I will do as a project manager now. What is different at Jörnträhus is that I get to be involved all the way from when an assignment is sold until the entire building is completed. It feels fun!

What are your first projects?
- I'm currently working on Kvarnbacken and Birkarlen in Kåge. Soon I will also be involved in Sidsjöängen in Sundsvall where we are building terraced house apartments.

What do you like to do when you are not working?
- Spending time with family and friends. My partner and I have two daughters, 7 and 10 years old. We like travelling, both in Sweden and abroad. In winter we like to go skiing in Åre and Hemavan. This spring we're going to rebuild the house, so we'll be busy with that.
