Job Advertisement: Boat Driver for the City Environment Administration

Description

The City Environment Administration has a comprehensive responsibility for the city's public spaces and overall accessibility.

We work to create accessible, attractive, and vibrant urban environments and natural areas. The administration owns and manages the tram network in Gothenburg. Approximately 900 people work in the administration.

The City Environment Administration is part of the urban development administrations in Gothenburg City. Together, we work to create conditions for a functioning infrastructure, quality housing and facilities, an inviting public environment, and strive for the city to be sustainable from all perspectives.

Job Responsibilities

Do you want to help develop attractive, safe, and vibrant urban environments and natural areas with great and competent colleagues? Then we have a seasonal job for you!

As a seasonal employee, you will be visible in the archipelago, and many visitors in Gothenburg may turn to you with tourist-related questions. This means you will be the face of the City Environment Administration and Gothenburg City while you work.

The City Environment Administration is now looking for boat drivers for our cleaning boats M/S Ö-Renat and M/S Renström.

• As a boat driver on M/S Ö-Renat, you will clean in Gothenburg's archipelago, e.g., on islands, skerries, and beaches.
• As a boat driver on M/S Renström, you will clean the city's canals and internal waterways.

The cleaning area consists of about 200 islands stretching from Billdal in the south to the mouth of the Nordre Älv in the north. Your efforts contribute to cleaning the sea of plastic and other debris. Each year, about 20 tons of waste is collected. During certain periods of the summer, you may need to supervise seasonal youth and guide them in the beach cleaning work.

If needed and with changing weather, you may need to step in as a beach host or street cleaner. Beach hosts perform cleaning and are hosts at the city's beaches. Street cleaners perform cleaning and weed control of the city's streets, squares, parks, and playgrounds.

As a boat driver on M/S Ö-Renat, you will work Monday to Friday from approximately April 4 to September 30. Some weekend and evening work may occur.

As a boat driver on M/S Renström, you will work Monday to Friday from approximately May 1 to September 30. Some weekend and evening work may occur.

Qualifications

We are looking for someone who has:

• Ship's officer certificate at least class VIII
• Swimming ability and good physical condition
• Proficient in Swedish, both spoken and written
• Good computer/mobile skills to manage and produce content in digital channels.
• B driver's license
• As a boat driver, driving experience is also required.

It is an advantage if you have previous experience with handheld machines, such as trimmers. We also consider previous experience from similar positions as an advantage. Experience in commercial operations and previous experience navigating in Gothenburg's archipelago is also advantageous. Additionally, BE driver's license, C driver's license, and Chainsaw training A-B are advantageous.

Out on the water, you take responsibility and feel engaged in your tasks. You need to be proactive and able to collaborate but also act independently. In the event of sudden weather changes and unforeseen events, you need to be flexible and able to make quick decisions and adjust planning. You should have a good attitude and care that Gothenburgers, visitors, and businesses have a pleasant experience.

Welcome with your application!

Conditions

With us, you will work in an administration focused on development, collaboration, and diversity. We offer, among other things, flexible working hours (with exceptions in certain departments), wellness benefits, and cycling benefits - so you can combine an exciting job with a sustainable private life.

As an employer, we have an obligation to ensure that you have the right to reside and work in Sweden. Therefore, during a physical interview, you will need to show your passport or national ID card. We will also check your driver's license during the interview.

Selection and interviews are ongoing, so do not wait with your application!
