Job Advertisement: Occupational Health Engineer

Stockholm Exergi is the energy company for the people of Stockholm, and we have about 800 employees who work every day to reduce the climate impact of Stockholmers. We heat over 800,000 Stockholmers, and our 300 km long district heating network is the hub for the community benefits we create. We have now begun the construction of a carbon capture facility at our biomass power plant in Värtan, with the potential to capture 800,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year, which is more than what Stockholm's road traffic emits during the same period. We need more skilled employees and hope you want to join us on our Exergi journey.
