To thrive and succeed in the role of Environmental Permit Manager, you need to be proactive and have the ability to keep multiple processes running simultaneously. We continuously work with new assessments, which requires you to be flexible and quickly switch between different areas of expertise such as environment, Seveso, and flammable goods.

As a person, you are structured, results-oriented, and solve challenges without losing sight of long-term strategies. Your working style is characterized by good communication, ensuring that messages are conveyed and expectations are clear for all parties involved. You also have an easy time gathering, processing, and transforming information into clear decision-making materials.

You have experience working with permitting processes and/or permit applications, preferably within the environmental field, for example as a consultant or case officer. You have a good understanding of environmental legislation and its application, as well as an academic degree.

Your skills in MS Office are good, and you can express yourself very well in both spoken and written Swedish and English. Knowledge of Finnish is an advantage.
