About the Position

We now offer a fantastic opportunity for you who want to work as a locking master along the magical Göta Canal – a place where you can experience the best of Swedish summer, surrounded by inspiring people and incredible nature! This is an exciting and varied outdoor job where you will meet visitors from all over the world and help create unforgettable experiences. You will be an important part of a positive and engaged team in a Swedish summer paradise.

The Göta Canal Company gives you the chance to work alongside wonderful, helpful colleagues who support and inspire you. We ensure that you receive all the training you need to feel secure and perform your best throughout the season.

Your Responsibilities

As a locking master, you will have both a responsible and fun role where you ensure that both safety and service are at the highest level. You will be stationed at one of our lines of locks or bridges and will be responsible for operating them. In dialogue with your colleagues, you will ensure that boat traffic flows smoothly and that the canal has the correct water level. You will be an ambassador for Göta Canal and make a significant impact on each guest's experience. Every day is unique and full of opportunities to contribute to a magical atmosphere for both visitors and colleagues!

Seasonal Employment

The position is a seasonal employment from June 12 to August 13, 2025. The employment period lasts between 6 and 9 weeks, and you need to be available for work throughout the entire period. There is also the possibility to apply for extended employment during Göta Canal's off-season, from August 14 to September 27, depending on requests and needs. If you are interested in working during the off-season, please mention this in your application. To be eligible for the position, you must be at least 18 years old before the employment starts.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We are looking for someone with a positive attitude, who is communicative and enjoys meeting new people. You speak Swedish and English fluently, and preferably also have knowledge of German – that is an advantage! It is a requirement that you are a good swimmer, and if you have experience or interest in boating, that is a big plus. If you have worked in service before and have a B driver's license and access to your own car, that is also meritorious.

For us, it is important that you have a genuine joy in helping people and creating a memorable experience for our visitors. We believe you have a personal commitment and enjoy taking responsibility when needed. You thrive in collaboration with others but can also structure your own work and take charge when the situation requires it. You are an important part of our team, and together we create something truly special!

Welcome with your application! We see diversity as a strength and welcome all applicants. Selection and interviews are ongoing, and positions may be filled before the application deadline. Submit your application today and become part of our fantastic team and the wonderful summer at Göta Canal!
