Vacant job

Are you an engaged and responsible driver who wants to contribute to a sustainable future? Are you the right person for a new team in the new packaging collection department? SSAM is looking for environmental workers with a Category C driving license and YKB (Professional Competence Certificate) starting summer 2026.

About SSAM:
SSAM has a clear vision – a Småland without waste. With a focus on sustainability, environmental protection, and resource efficiency, they drive their work forward using their core values: Joy, Respect, Forward-looking Spirit, Sustainability, and Togetherness. These values permeate both the work environment and the relationship with customers and society.

What is FNI?
FNI (Property-Adjacent Collection) means that all households and multi-family buildings should be able to have residual waste, food waste, newspapers, plastic packaging, paper packaging, metal packaging, clear glass packaging, and colored glass packaging collected at the property boundary or in close proximity to it.

How does this collection differ from current collection methods?
SSAM currently collects residual and food waste from villas, multi-family buildings, and businesses. What distinguishes the FNI collection type is that they will also collect packaging waste from multi-family buildings, which involves different vehicle types and different waste streams.

• Report deviations and follow safety regulations to create a safe working environment for yourself and your colleagues.
• As part of the new team, your work is crucial for maintaining good service for the municipalities' residents while simultaneously protecting the environment for future generations.
