Vacant job

Description

The City Environment Administration has a comprehensive responsibility for the city's public spaces and overall accessibility.

We work to create accessible, attractive, and vibrant urban environments and natural areas. The administration owns and manages the tram network in Gothenburg. Approximately 900 people work in the administration.

The City Environment Administration is part of the urban development administrations in Gothenburg City. Together, we work to create conditions for a functioning infrastructure, quality housing and premises, an inviting public environment, and strive for the city to be sustainable from all perspectives.

Job Responsibilities

Do you want to help develop attractive, safe, and vibrant urban environments and natural areas with great and competent colleagues? Then we have a seasonal job for you!

As a seasonal employee, you will be clearly visible at our beaches, and many visitors in Gothenburg may turn to you with questions regarding the beach and tourist-related inquiries. This means you will be the face of the City Environment Administration and Gothenburg City while you work.

The City Environment Administration is now looking for beach hosts to perform tasks such as cleaning the beaches. Job responsibilities include, for example, litter picking, maintenance and cleaning of beach toilets, keeping beach ladders free from algae, and supervising beach facilities. The work involves using handheld machines such as trimmers for weed control. Driving may occur as the work is performed at the city's beautiful outdoor baths. You will be based in Ringön or Askim and share responsibility for a couple of beaches together with colleagues and site coordinators.

If needed, you may also need to step in as a street cleaner in the city or as a beach cleaner in the archipelago. As a street cleaner, you will perform tasks such as cleaning and weed control of the city's streets, squares, parks, and playgrounds.

Working hours vary with day and evening shifts, as well as weekend work during the period of approximately June 8 - August 16.

Qualifications

We are looking for someone who has:

• Completed high school education or experience deemed equivalent by the employer
• B driver's license
• Good driving experience and is comfortable driving vehicles in both central parts of Gothenburg and in tight spaces.
• Good physical ability as the position involves heavier tasks, even in hilly terrain.
• Previous experience in similar work or service occupations.
• Is a competent swimmer and can swim at least 200 meters and dive if necessary.
• Can communicate in Swedish both verbally and in writing.
• Can handle digital channels on computer and mobile.

To succeed in this position, you need to be meticulous, have good collaboration skills, and be independent as you are responsible for your tasks. You should have a good attitude and care about ensuring that Gothenburg residents, visitors, and businesses have a pleasant experience. In case of sudden weather changes and unforeseen events, you need to be flexible and able to make quick decisions and adjust plans. You are service-oriented and work with everything from blocking off beach ladders to guiding visitors to our barbecue areas. Your hosting duties also include informing about, for example, barbecue and dog bans as well as water quality. As the day approaches its end, you ensure that everything is cleaned and organized for the next day.
