Then this might be the job you are looking for!

You will belong to the unit for land and water protection.

Currently, we are 15 friendly and engaged employees who look forward to welcoming you to our team. Could it be you we are looking for?

About the job

You will be part of a working group that deals with water issues. You will handle notifications regarding water operations according to the Environmental Code. Work with supervision and permit assessments of water operations will also be part of your job. You will process cases of both simpler and more complex nature. The focus of the position will be adapted to your competence and the needs of the organization.

The tasks are a mix of case processing and fieldwork, with office work being predominant. It is an independent job where you are responsible for your cases, while we are a team that helps each other and makes assessments together. In your work, you will have many contacts with private individuals, companies, and municipalities.

The work is constantly evolving, and based on our mission, the tasks may change over time. Therefore, you need to be able to handle changes. At the same time, it gives you opportunities to develop and both broaden and deepen your competence with us.

• an academic education with a technical or natural science orientation, for example, environmental and health protection, or other relevant education and/or experience that we assess as equivalent
• Since the work involves many contacts both internally and externally on a daily basis, it is important that you express yourself well in Swedish, both orally and in writing.

As a person, you take responsibility for the organization's goals in your work. You are structured and able to work independently and take your own initiatives. Furthermore, you have a good demeanor and find it easy to collaborate with both colleagues and external parties while maintaining high integrity.

We consider it an advantage if you have:

• experience in processing cases within the Environmental Code and assessing issues based on applicable laws, regulations, and practices
• experience in supervisory work within the area of the Environmental Code
• relevant work experience from working at a county administrative board, another authority, or municipality.

We will place great emphasis on personal qualities, and we see it as a given that you contribute positively to our work environment and job satisfaction and act according to the governmental value base (https://www.statskontoret.se/forvaltningskultur/den-statliga-vardegrunden/).
