This position is part of the environmental protection team, which consists of one team leader and seven environmental inspectors. We offer a modern and digital workplace where you can plan your work independently while also receiving support from colleagues.

You will have the opportunity to influence the operations regarding planning and implementation. You will be responsible for driving the unit's and team's various development commitments. We continuously work on competence development based on employees' needs, with both internal and external training that strengthens your professional competence. We offer flexible working hours, and you can work partially remotely. Our office is centrally located in Tumba with good transportation links.
