• Control the regulatory aspects for new chemicals to the business.
• Administration and development of the site's chemical management system – Chemical Manager (CM).

Your profile:

• Academic degree with a focus on environment, chemistry, or a related field.
• Several years of practical experience working with chemical legislation, where REACH and CLP have been a natural part of your daily work.
• Good ability to interpret and translate legal requirements into practical, functioning processes and methods in a production environment.
• Fluent communication in both Swedish and English.

It is also advantageous if you have:

• Experience in the chemical or process industry, preferably from manufacturing operations with high regulatory requirements.
