• With a sense of form, be able to adhere to a graphic profile and, if necessary, develop new products within its framework.
• Be detail-oriented but also have the ability to quickly deliver correct originals for urgent tasks.
• Good knowledge of Swedish and English.

It is an advantage if you have:

• Worked with any type of GIS software (ArcGIS, QGIS, or similar)
• Good knowledge of web and social media and have worked with WordPress.
• Experience in editing moving material for publication in digital channels.

We place great importance on personal qualities and are looking for an employee who fits into the team. If you are committed and responsible, meticulous and structured with high organizational and collaborative skills, you will thrive. If you also enjoy working both independently and with others, are development-oriented, and like to contribute to a good working environment, we believe you will feel at home in the group.
