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. Together, we work to create conditions for a functioning infrastructure, quality housing and premises, an inviting public environment, and strive to make the city sustainable from all perspectives.

Job Responsibilities

As a street cleaner, your main tasks will be waste management and weed control of the city's streets, squares, bus stops, parks, playgrounds, and recycling stations. This includes regular rounds for emptying trash bins and picking up litter, cleaning around recycling stations, as well as cleaning during the many summer events in the city. You will have a map to help you find destinations. As a street cleaner, you will be clearly visible in the city, and many visitors in Gothenburg may turn to you with tourist-related questions. This means you will be the face of the City Environment Administration and represent the city of Gothenburg on the streets and squares during the season. The work takes place in central Gothenburg and you will use a somewhat larger vehicle.

We are looking for 1 permanent position and 3 seasonal positions between the period of 2026-04-01 to 2026-11-30.

It is required that you are meticulous, have good teamwork skills, and can independently take responsibility for your tasks. You have a good attitude and care about ensuring that Gothenburg residents and visitors have a pleasant experience. Previous work experience in similar positions is highly advantageous.

You must have a good command of the Swedish language in both spoken and written forms. You also need to be able to handle digital channels as you will be using various apps.
