Welcome with your spontaneous application!

What is MAXIMA?

VA SYD plans to build the wastewater treatment system MAXIMA, which is currently the largest infrastructure investment in the region, comparable to the Öresund Bridge and the City Tunnel. MAXIMA includes a new and robust Sjölunda wastewater treatment plant with new outfall pipes in the Öresund, a large pumping station, a sewer tunnel under Malmö, a sewer tunnel from Källby in Lund, and transfer pipes to connect several municipalities. The new system is planned to be completed by 2035 and is a prerequisite for meeting population growth, climate change, and environmental requirements.

Your upcoming role

Within the program, there is a need to strengthen the organization with several different roles that involve everything from participating in large procurements to providing expert knowledge on site, all in a dynamic environment where one day is not like the other. In some roles, you may also be involved in the contract in a more operational way, depending on your previous experience. Currently, there is already an organization of about 90 people in the MAXIMA program in the department of Sustainable Wastewater Treatment, and we see that we need to strengthen VA SYD with internal expert and generalist competence.

The positions that will be relevant will be defined more clearly during the recruitment process based on the competence of the candidates we contact.
