Operations Engineer with a Focus on Maintenance

Lerum Municipality is known for its scenic locations with lakes and forests. The municipality has 3,200 employees and 43,000 residents but expects to grow significantly in the coming years. Lerum is only a 20-minute commute from Gothenburg and is currently facing a development-intensive period with many exciting projects underway, ranging from schools to housing. The municipality works to ensure good service, high welfare, and a thriving business climate.

The Water and Sewage Unit is responsible for the municipal water and sewage operations in Lerum Municipality. This includes the production and distribution of drinking water as well as the diversion and treatment of wastewater for approximately 33,000 people. The Water and Sewage Unit has over 45 employees and is thus a medium-sized organization, divided into three units: Water Production, Water Distribution, and Water Planning.

Water Production is responsible for all facilities such as waterworks, treatment plants, pumping stations, and pressure boosting stations as well as reservoirs. Our mission is to produce and deliver healthy drinking water of high quality and with high delivery reliability. We aim to divert wastewater with minimal impact on health and the environment. We work for satisfied customers and a sustainable society.

We are 14 people in the unit who, together with the entire Technical Service, have offices based in Stenkullen.

We are now looking for reinforcement with a new operations engineer focused on maintenance, as our current one will retire in the spring.
