About the Job

Transport is essential for goods and people to arrive where they need to be. In the environmental section, we work to reduce the negative environmental impact of transport from shipping and aviation. In this role, you will collaborate with other competent colleagues at the agency, engage in dialogue with other authorities, and interact with relevant parties internationally.

Your area of work will focus on environmental issues within the shipping sector. The section works in various ways to reduce emissions to air and water, and you will primarily work in the areas of oils and chemicals, cargo residues, and ballast water, but tasks may vary. For example, this may involve representing Sweden at meetings with the shipping's international UN body IMO, within HELCOM, and the EU.

Other issues within the section's or department's area of responsibility may also arise. The position includes travel, both domestically and internationally.
