JOB RESPONSIBILITIES
At the water laboratory, Lackarebäck Waterworks, we monitor and ensure water quality, which involves sampling and analysis of water throughout the entire chain from raw water through the treatment processes at the waterworks and finally to the users.
The work is carried out using various methods including wet chemical analyses, photometry, chromatography, mass spectrometry, flow cytometry, fluorescence microscopy, and microbiological culture methods. The laboratory's quality system is based on ISO 17025 and is accredited by SWEDAC.
As a summer intern at the laboratory, you will participate in the daily analysis operations. Job responsibilities include wet chemical or microbiological analysis work, substrate preparation, and sampling.
QUALIFICATIONS
We are looking for someone who has completed at least two years of university or college education in chemistry, microbiology, biotechnology, or similar fields. Since the job involves sampling in water bodies, you must be a competent swimmer.
We expect you to have good laboratory experience, and it is advantageous if you have laboratory experience in water analysis and experience in water sampling.
The position is security classified level 2 and requires a successful background check from the Security Police (Säpo) and Swedish citizenship. A valid driver's license (B) is an advantage.
We see that you have good collaboration skills as your work requires close cooperation with your colleagues to maintain the quality of the results reported to our customers. Furthermore, we expect you to have strong analytical skills demonstrated by your ability to draw relevant conclusions from analysis results and your understanding of the various analytical instruments used in the laboratory. The work our unit performs has a significant impact on the daily lives of Gothenburg's residents, and we take great responsibility for this task.
