Are you looking for a varied part-time job in an exciting maritime environment?

Stockholm Ports is now seeking on-call traffic controllers.

The Monitoring and Traffic Control Center (BTC) at Stockholm Ports is a round-the-clock staffed center that is an important part of the port's operations.

• work with safety technical systems for monitoring and access within the areas of Stockholm Ports
• handle reports of faults in port facilities
• ensure that the right personnel are present at the port facilities
• be part of Stockholm Ports' crisis function
• remotely operate opening bridges and locks at night

The tasks are varied and the workload shifts throughout the day and year. The role requires you to quickly switch between administrative tasks and event-driven work, have good multitasking ability, and take personal responsibility for ongoing administrative work.

Working Hours

The work is usually performed in twelve-hour shifts from 06:30 to 18:45 or 18:30 to 06:45. The number of shifts per month varies and there is a need year-round, but expect a higher workload during the summer period.

Is this you?

We are looking for someone who has:

• a minimum of a high school diploma
• very good computer skills and the ability to handle various IT systems
• good ability to express yourself verbally and in writing in both Swedish and English
• experience in service work

It is an advantage if you have:

You enjoy solving problems, are communicative, and like to collaborate with both colleagues and customers.

We believe that this position is suitable for you who are studying or have another part-time job, and we would like you to be our substitute for several years to come. Before you start working independently as a traffic controller, you will go through an introductory period where you will be trained under the supervision of regular traffic controllers. You will also receive training in alarm management and in the operation of locks and bridges. During the training period, you will primarily work daytime in shorter shifts. If you lack SRC/VHF certification, we will ensure that you receive relevant training.

The position is security classified, which means that we conduct background checks, security interviews, and record checks before employment.
