Statistician at the Swedish Chemicals Agency – Driving Sustainable Development

The Swedish Chemicals Agency (Kemikalieinspektionen) is a government authority tasked with reducing the risks to humans and the environment from chemicals. As an employee with us, you will be part of a significant effort for sustainable development in Sweden, within the EU, and globally. We have 250 employees, and our office is located in central Sundbyberg.

The position is based at the Product Register and Chemical Statistics Unit, which is part of the Supervision and Advisory Department. The unit is responsible for a register of chemical products and genetically modified organisms manufactured in or imported to Sweden. We assist approximately 3,000 companies with their chemical registrations. The unit is also responsible for official statistics and knowledge bases to monitor and follow the development of chemicals in Sweden. The information in the register is used for supervision, regulatory development, and as a basis for the annual chemical fee.

We are looking for you to develop and strengthen our statistical activities!
