The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority is a preparedness authority with important tasks within crisis preparedness and civil defense. In the area of crisis preparedness, we are tasked with being proactive and providing expert competence within the national radiation protection preparedness. This includes preparedness, regulation, and licensing.

The Development Unit for Preparedness is responsible for the development and direction of preparedness. We work proactively within crisis preparedness and civil defense. The unit consists of a unit manager and 15 employees. We are now looking for an investigator focused on preparedness and nuclear analysis for nuclear facilities, both regarding existing facilities and potentially new ones. Nuclear analysis refers to assessing the status of a nuclear facility during an event and estimating the size of a potential release (source term).

Critical tasks for society
You will be part of a team where you work proactively, in collaboration with nuclear facilities and relevant authorities, to enhance society's ability to handle a radiological emergency both during a crisis and at heightened readiness.

We offer you a developing and exciting job where you primarily get to work with:

• development of the nuclear analysis function in the crisis organization
• driving and participating in investigations
• environmental monitoring
• developing regulations.

Your work will include participating in national and international development work and initiating and implementing collaboration with authorities and other relevant organizations such as the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and authorities in the Nordic countries with similar tasks as the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority.

We are looking for someone who has

• a master's degree in engineering or other education that the authority deems relevant for the position, alternatively several years of work experience in the nuclear industry
• good knowledge of reactor safety or safety in other nuclear activities with a focus on, for example, work in crisis organizations within operations with high safety requirements, severe accidents, development of disturbance instructions, accident management strategies, or equivalent and/or other work with development and/or training in accident management
• good ability to express yourself verbally and in writing in Swedish and English.

It is advantageous if you have experience in:

• preparedness at nuclear facilities
• source term estimations
• the construction and design of safety functions
• facility-wide safety analyses or accident analyses using tools such as Riskspectrum, MAAP, MELCOR
• regulatory work or interpretation and implementation of regulatory requirements
• training and exercise activities
• project management or other types of work leadership.

Personal qualities
In the role of investigator, you need to be analytical and able to work in a structured manner. As a person, you need to be self-driven, proactive, and take responsibility for your work. You should be comfortable working independently and also enjoy and be able to collaborate with others. We also want you to be quality-conscious and meticulous.

We expect you to have a high level of security awareness and that you can work according to both our values - Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (stralsakerhetsmyndigheten.se) and the Government's value base (forvaltningskultur.se)
