Vacant job

About the job

We see a changed security policy situation and a rebuilding of total defense in Sweden, which means that supervision over critical societal operations in the transport sector needs to be intensified. Therefore, we are looking for several competencies to contribute to our exciting mission in cybersecurity. The Swedish Transport Agency's supervision covers all four modes of transport (sea, air, road, and rail).

Our section is in a phase of development, and as an employee, you will have the opportunity to influence our important mission to make Sweden safer – for real. We have a positive climate where we develop, collaborate, and support each other in our tasks, and we have fun!

Within our section, we have gathered expertise in cybersecurity, security protection, and registry control.

You will participate in our supervision of critical societal operations within the transport sector. The tasks consist of reviewing management systems and assessing networks and information systems of operators. This aims to control the security capability related to the requirements set by the Swedish Transport Agency and the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency in their regulations within the NIS/Cybersecurity framework. Depending on your expertise, you will be able to significantly influence the supervision. An important role we have as an authority is to provide guidance to the industry, and you will support cybersecurity issues.

To succeed in the position, it is important to build and maintain good relationships both within and outside the authority. With us, you will have the chance to develop your skills. You will work in an environment characterized by curiosity, challenges, and collaboration. We need to adapt and change our working methods depending on the situation. We enjoy working in teams and support each other in big and small matters with the aim of achieving our mission to make Sweden safer.

Travel with overnight stays in Sweden is included in the position.
