Älmhult Municipality is located in southern Småland, close to good communications and scenic areas. In Älmhult, you combine the advantages and charm of a smaller town with a unique international atmosphere. It is easy to live and work here, and you have close access to most things. We are about 1800 proud and dedicated employees who provide high-quality service to the residents of Älmhult every day.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

You will be part of a team that works with supervision in the following areas:

• Contaminated areas
• Shore protection
• Small sewage systems
• Agriculture
• Wind power
• Industrial supervision

The team prioritizes together and is responsible for making equivalent assessments, providing good service to residents, and efficient processing of incoming cases. Älmhult Municipality also offers advice and business support.

The position involves varied tasks that can largely be shaped according to interest and competence. The Environmental and Building Administration reports directly to the Environmental and Building Committee, and depending on the tasks, it may therefore be part of the job to present cases for decisions in the committee.

We offer you the opportunity to work in a developing role in an engaged team with a wide range of knowledge and competence.

For this position, you are required to have:

• Education in the environmental field, such as environmental inspector, biologist, or environmental strategist.
• Good ability to express yourself well in Swedish and English, both orally and in writing.
• Basic knowledge of the Environmental Code acquired through work or studies.

It is advantageous if you also have:

• current experience of public authority practice,
• experience in processing shore protection or contaminated areas from municipal or state operations,
• professional experience in one of our supervision areas that provides good knowledge of how those operations function.

In recruitment, we place great emphasis on your personal qualities:

• You have a knack for identifying deviations and suggesting improvements
• You are responsible
• You have a light touch in your communication with others
• You enjoy working in a team
• You have the ability to contribute to a good atmosphere among your colleagues and leave a positive impression on people you meet

As the work involves writing decisions and service letters as well as contacts with the public and businesses, the position requires a very good ability to express oneself well in speech and writing in Swedish and, where applicable, also to communicate in English.

A driving license (B) is required as the position involves travel.
