Vacant job

At the Swedish Work Environment Authority, we work together to ensure that no one becomes ill, injured, or dies due to work. Therefore, we assist employers in meeting existing requirements and inform how work environment efforts become a natural part of everyday life. Based on the Work Environment Act, we develop regulations, inspect workplaces, and disseminate knowledge about work environment issues. The mission is serious, but our everyday life is characterized by joy at work, and we are caring and helpful colleagues.

Your new job

We are looking for a knowledgeable case officer in the transport area for the user regulations unit. Together with seventeen skilled and engaged colleagues, you will highlight safety issues from a work environment perspective. The unit primarily works with regulations and issues related to the use of work equipment, transport, construction and civil engineering work, blasting, physical factors (such as exposure to vibrations, noise, laser, UV and IR radiation, electromagnetic fields), risks in explosive environments, and the use of personal protective equipment.

As a specialist, you will have varied tasks within the unit's areas of expertise but also across the entire work environment field. Much of the work is carried out in project form and in collaboration with other authorities. Examples of tasks include:

• Manage and develop regulations within the transport area.
• Develop guiding materials for different target groups.
• Process referrals.
• Contribute opinions in appeal cases.
• Support the inspection department and response service in various matters.
• Participate in standardization work and EU-related work.
• Collaborate with labor market partners, other authorities, interest organizations, and other departments related to road transport, railways, and shipping.
• Lead and participate in projects.
• Monitor developments in the field.
• Participate in internal training.

Your background

The role requires that you have:

• Relevant university/college education of at least 180 credits. Alternatively, other education combined with work experience that the employer deems relevant.
• Several years of practical and/or theoretical experience (e.g., application, supervision, and/or formulation of regulations) within one or more modes of transport: rail, road, aviation, and shipping.
• Experience communicating in various contexts and comfortable speaking in front of groups.
• Good ability to express yourself verbally and in writing in Swedish.
• Ability to express yourself verbally and in writing in English.
• Basic IT skills.

It is advantageous if you have:

• Worked with work environment issues.
• Experience in relevant work within the public sector.
• Experience handling referrals.

As a person, we see that you will thrive and succeed in the role if you are analytical and solution-oriented. You collaborate well and are happy to share your expertise with others. Your communication is clear, open, and straightforward. You inspire trust, build, and maintain relationships. Furthermore, you have a good ability to plan and prioritize your work and can adapt to new circumstances. In the selection process, we will place great emphasis on your personal qualities.

Employment with us may mean that the position is classified in a security class. Security screening with or without a background check may therefore be conducted before a decision on employment. For some of our tasks in security class, Swedish citizenship is required. Security screening is conducted according to the Security Protection Act (2018:585).

We are proud to use our knowledge and trust in our important societal mission. Together, we create an inclusive culture that encompasses heart, courage, and intellect.

The employment is a permanent position, full-time, and is currently located at our office in Solna/another location where the Swedish Work Environment Authority has an office. We apply individual salary setting and a six-month probationary period.

We strive for all employees to have a sustainable work environment and a balance between work and leisure. Therefore, we offer flexible working hours or apply trust-based working hours and provide opportunities for remote work where the business allows.

About us and our benefits and conditions

How we recruit

We use competency-based recruitment, both to ensure the quality of the recruitment and to counteract discrimination. Therefore, we ask you to only attach a CV and answer a few questions instead of a cover letter when you register your application. Since we work competency-based, we also use psychological tests in this recruitment. Interviews will take place from week 21.

We believe it is important for you to also assess us. Therefore, we welcome questions before and during the recruitment process. Union contacts are Adam Jansson for Saco, Marita Jonsson for ST, and Jenny Bengtsson for Seko. All can be reached via the Swedish Work Environment Authority's switchboard: 010-730 90 00.
