Within our IT organization, you will help develop Sweden using modern and innovative solutions. We are in the midst of an exciting transformation where we are trying to fully harness the opportunities of digitalization. Digitalization places increasing demands, and we therefore want to adapt in terms of skills, working methods, and organization in line with development. We have a comprehensive responsibility for IT and telecommunications, a business that operates around the clock, year-round - just like Sweden's transport system.

At the Swedish Transport Administration, we work to bring Sweden closer together. We believe that a combination of different experiences, backgrounds, and perspectives is the best foundation for building a workplace free from discrimination and an environment where everyone thrives and does their best. We believe in diversity where the common denominator is reliability, commitment, and courage. For that is how we best represent our society.
