Summer Job as Drawing Inventory Specialist

When multiple railway tracks meet, it is essential to ensure that vehicles can stop without the risk of collision. This is done by establishing a clear point of obstruction (HIP), which indicates where a vehicle can safely stand near track switches. Vehicles used solely in Sweden are approved by the Transport Agency, while international vehicles are approved via ERA. The Technical Specification for Interoperability (TSD) should normally be followed, but Swedish requirements in TSFS 2022:36 regarding buffer overhang are partially missing in TSD, which poses a risk that some vehicles are not adapted to Swedish infrastructure.

To manage the risk of vehicles being approved that are not adapted to Swedish infrastructure, the facility needs to be inventoried, and locations with too short distances between the clear point of obstruction and the insulating joint need to be identified. To limit the number of track switches requiring a physical measurement, the first step is to inventory drawings, which will take place in this summer job. By studying drawings, you will assess which track switches require a physical measurement and which have a sufficient distance between the clear point of obstruction and the insulating joint and can therefore be excluded from the physical inventory. Trafikverket manages nearly 11,000 track switches, so we are looking for a person who is meticulous and structured. The drawing inventory you conduct will form the basis for physical measurements and planning of actions in the tracks.

Duration of the summer job: 2026-06-08 - 2026-08-07.

Each summer job is advertised separately. This means that you need to apply for each summer job you are interested in. If you meet the requirements, you may be considered for multiple summer jobs and thus be contacted by several different managers for interviews.

If you meet the requirements in the advertisement and proceed in the recruitment process, you will be required to complete web-based selection tests. Invitations to tests will be sent via email after the application period has ended. To avoid missing important information, it is therefore important that you regularly check your inbox as well as your spam/junk folder. The emails are usually sent from [email protected].

Selection for interviews is based on the requirements in the advertisement and the results from the selection tests.

We strive for an open and inclusive culture where diversity is valued. To ensure a fair, objective, and accurate recruitment process, we use web-based tests, where all candidates are assessed under the same conditions.

Possible locations are Gothenburg, Luleå, Västerås, or Trollhättan.
