Case Officer in the Climate Step

The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency coordinates and drives the work for a good living environment together with others. With us, you can contribute to the important work of achieving our vision - to create a good living environment for humans and all other living beings, now and for future generations! We are now looking for someone who wants to contribute to reduced climate impact by working with concrete measures as a case officer in the Climate Step!

The Climate Step is the government's broadest investment support to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by supporting companies and other operations across the country that want to transition and thereby contribute to Sweden's climate transition.

The mission of the Climate Step includes distributing funds for measures as well as evaluating, following trends, communicating, and developing the initiative. The Climate Step is divided into four units focusing on charging infrastructure (two units), agriculture, and industry, as well as several support units. In total, the Climate Step consists of about 80 employees.

Your Tasks

You may work with one or more of the following areas:

• Processing applications for charging infrastructure within Charge the Car.
• Processing applications that are not deemed to meet the Climate Step's criteria for support.
• Economic assessments of incoming applications.
• Reviewing status and final reports from projects that have already been granted support.

The processing can often be complex as several different aspects need to be weighed in the assessment. Therefore, you need to identify and manage various types of critical issues, as well as drive the preparation of cases forward by seeking support from colleagues and other competencies when necessary.

The work within the Climate Step is broad, and therefore other tasks may occur.
