The Vattenfall Group has approximately 21,000 employees. We have electrified industries, delivered energy to homes, and transformed lives through innovation for over a hundred years.

About the Role

To comply with security protection legislation, the Security Vetting Unit is responsible for the security vetting process in collaboration with Vattenfall's security organization. The team is operationally responsible for conducting medical checks as well as background checks, security vetting interviews, and other vetting processes for positions classified as security-sensitive.

The team currently consists of 13 employees, including security vetting specialists and a manager. We are now continuing to develop the business and need to strengthen our team with an additional Security Vetting Specialist based in Solna.

About the Role

As a Security Vetting Specialist within the Security Vetting Unit at Vattenfall, you contribute to the possibility of creating a fossil-free life by ensuring that the right people are recruited for Vattenfall's security-sensitive positions.

You will primarily work with background checks, security vetting interviews, and documentation related to the security vetting process. The work aims to clarify the candidate's reliability, loyalty, and potential vulnerabilities. In addition, you will also work with our administrative processes, such as handling background checks and further developing work methods based on legal requirements and company policy.

The position involves collaboration with Vattenfall's recruitment organization, hiring managers, and, not least, Vattenfall's other security organization.
