You will be one of the region's specialists in the field, supporting maintenance projects in these matters and driving improvement work around internal working methods.

Within the Quality and Safety section, we are about 10 employees. Together with your colleagues, you will be an important part of the governance of the region's project operations. You will work to support, implement, and follow up on maintenance projects through, among other things, follow-ups and reviews within roads, railways, and construction works in the central region. As a specialist, you will work closely with the projects and contribute practically to various tasks, which means you will be involved in several parallel projects.

With us, you will have a central role in the strategic work of continuous improvements of processes and working methods and participate in our business development. You contribute to a good safety culture by promoting a systematic approach where goals are achieved, requirements are managed, risks in the operations are under control, and corrective actions are implemented.

In the section, there are three colleagues who have the same specialist role. You will have close collaboration and exchange with them, including joint planning and coordination. In addition, you will also have many other contact points both internally and externally, both in the projects and with specialists in other maintenance regions as well as with colleagues in the group, including those in environment, operational protection, and preparedness.
