The role also includes contributing to internal preparations of cases where the climate adaptation perspective and climate-related risks are of great importance, for example, in work with comprehensive and detailed plans.

The work is conducted externally in collaboration with the municipalities of the county, regional actors, and other government agencies, as well as internally within the County Administrative Board. You will be part of a team with other employees working on climate adaptation and the Flood Ordinance, and you will be placed in the unit for climate and risk.

• Good collaboration skills and the ability to capture and utilize the broad competence available both within the County Administrative Board and among external actors.
• Very good ability to express yourself in Swedish, both orally and in writing, as well as to lead meetings and seminars.

As a person, you are analytical and strategic, while also being results-oriented and responsible. You take initiatives, collaborate well with others, and have an unpretentious attitude. You have the ability to see the big picture, make priorities, and adapt when circumstances change.

We place great importance on personal qualities.

As an employee at the County Administrative Board, you need to:

• Be able to make decisions based on a holistic view considering multiple perspectives.
• Understand that a central role for the County Administrative Board is to make trade-offs between different interests.
• Be able to prioritize and adapt to work with new tasks or in new contexts.

It is advantageous if you have:

• Competence in working with Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
• Experience working within the Flood Ordinance, with risk management plans, or equivalent.
• Competence in urban planning to promote climate adaptation.
• Experience working with climate-related risks in physical planning.
