Circular Economy and Water for Gothenburg Residents

We are responsible for ensuring that some of Gothenburg's most important community services function, 24 hours a day, all year round. Through our work with water, sewage, and waste, Circular Economy and Water contribute to creating a circular society that enables Gothenburg residents to live sustainably. Our vision is "We make it easy to live sustainably" and our job is truly important.

Gothenburg is growing like never before. We work to secure the drinking water supply to the city by building and maintaining the underground infrastructure. We influence and plan for the construction of a Gothenburg that can meet tomorrow's climate challenges. We also ensure that the waste generated by Gothenburg residents is collected and treated correctly. We work long-term to raise awareness and change behavior regarding the circular economy and the use of drinking water.

We are a fee-funded administration with extensive expertise, employing around 500 staff. Within the organization, we have the competence to fulfill our mission – both in planning and execution.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

We are looking for someone who has the interest, willingness, and ability to help others and who strives to find solutions. You can explain and share information with different recipients from various perspectives and encourage an inclusive dialogue. As a team leader, you work to foster good cohesion within the group and promote an environment where mistakes are seen as part of our learning and development. In the mission to drive the business forward, you need to be able to work together with others to achieve common goals.

• As a team leader, you will be responsible for personnel and working environment. Your team works with sorting and environmental information for customers and assists them with sorting at the recycling center.

It is also important that you are familiar with all work tasks to improve our routines and update working methods for a safer and more efficient workplace. In other words, you will have very varied days with both operational leadership and strategic development.
