"The best part of being a driving examiner is when I get to say: Congratulations, your driving is approved and to see the relief and smile on the customer's face after all their hard work to reach their goal" says one of our employees. We are now looking for dedicated colleagues for the Driving Test Office in Karlstad!

Want to work with driving licenses and people? Become a Driving Examiner!

Are you ready to make a difference in people's lives? As a driving examiner (traffic inspector) at the Swedish Transport Administration, you have a unique opportunity to contribute to a safer traffic environment in Sweden.

In the role of a driving examiner, you play a key role where you conduct nine driving tests a day and assess whether the candidate has the knowledge and skills needed to pass the test and become a safe driver on our roads. You work independently and meet many different people every day. Your friendly demeanor and ability to make decisions in pressured situations are crucial for creating a safe atmosphere during the test. As a driving examiner, you also have a government assignment which means you need to be able to explain and communicate decisions in a simple and clear way after each driving test. This also means that you value diversity and respect every person, regardless of background.

Your journey begins with a one-year paid basic training. Since you will be handling a lot of information, your ability to absorb and convey theory is important. The job also includes travel to our reception locations in Säffle, Arvika, and Sunne. It is important that you are aware that the requirements for your driving are higher than for someone taking their driving test. Since you will be assessing other drivers' traffic safety, you need to demonstrate a secure, stable, and well-developed driving style where you handle both traffic and complex situations correctly.

"The Swedish Transport Administration feels like a secure employer. It feels good that the Swedish Transport Administration invests in me so that I can succeed in my profession and thus take care of our customers" says one of our trainees.

To become a driving examiner, you will undergo approximately one year of basic training with both practical and theoretical components. The training starts in week 36, and you will be employed as a trainee. Please read more about training weeks, what the job entails, and what you need to consider before the driving test at: Become a Driving Examiner - www.trafikverket.se.  (https://www.trafikverket.se/om-oss/jobba-hos-oss/lediga-jobb/jobba-som-forarprovare/)

For your application to be complete, you must attach your CV, a copy of your diploma (at least high school diploma or equivalent), and a copy of your driving license (front and back). If you need to upload your diplomas or driving license afterward, you go through My Career Page (https://www.trafikverket.se/logga-in/#min_karriarsida), but no later than the application deadline. NOTE! If your application is not complete, you will not proceed in the recruitment process.
