Vacant job

Do you want to take responsibility, work practically, and deliver measurable environmental benefits?

CleanSea is now looking for an operational team leader who will have overall responsibility for our cleanup work along the west coast.

This is a role for you who enjoys freedom under responsibility, clear goals, and making things happen in reality, not behind a desk.

What is CleanSea?

Every hour, large amounts of plastic wash up along the coast of Bohuslän. CleanSea works operationally to collect this plastic to protect Sweden's marine life and preserve the fantastic environment we have today.

So far, we have removed over 100 tons of marine plastic, and the operation is growing rapidly through support from individuals and collaborations with companies & organizations.

You will have primary responsibility for the cleanup operations on the west coast and lead a team of about five people.

The role is both leadership and operational, which means you will be out on cleanups while also planning, structuring, and following up on the work.

Your main responsibilities include:

• Planning and leading beach cleanups and cleanups.

• Problem-solving when obstacles arise (weather, personnel, equipment, etc.)
• Documenting the work through photos and short videos for the web and social media.

You will report monthly results against clear goals but work independently with freedom under responsibility.

The work takes place year-round. During the winter months, there is a bit more planning, but still a lot of work in the field.
