Vacant job

Do you want to work close to operational reality while contributing to the development of tomorrow's rescue services?

Bergslagens Räddningstjänst is looking for you who want to combine analysis, development work, and operational understanding in an organization where you have real influence over how the rescue service develops its capabilities from everyday accidents to tasks within total defense during heightened or highest readiness. Here, you will have a central role in developing operational methods, leadership, and capability – in close collaboration with other actors in the region.

About Bergslagens Räddningstjänst

Bergslagens Räddningstjänst is a municipal association for six municipalities with a total of approximately 85,000 inhabitants. The association has approximately 200 employees distributed across two full-time stations and six part-time stations. We work in an environment where decision-making paths are short and ideas can quickly be put into practice.

We are part of Rescue Region Bergslagen together with rescue services in Värmland, Dalarna, and Örebro County. At the command center Seglet in Örebro, we collaborate daily with the Police, Ambulance, and SOS Alarm in a modern operational command environment.

We are in a clear development phase where operational capability, collaboration, and total defense are in focus.

About the role

As an Operations Developer here, you work with operational planning and business development with the goal that rescue operations can be carried out safely, efficiently, and with high quality.

You will have a varied assignment where strategic work is combined with a close connection to the operational response activities.

The work takes place in close cooperation with managers, operational staff, and external actors, offering great opportunities to influence both working methods and development direction.

The content of the position may be shaped based on the business's needs and your experience, but broadly speaking, it includes the following tasks/responsibilities:

• Responsible for ensuring that accident investigations and experience feedback are carried out and developed in accordance with current requirements and needs.
• Operational planning for Seveso facilities and other hazardous operations, including responsibility for the content, currency, and usability of plans during operations.
• Drive the work to develop a robust rescue service, including continuity, redundancy, and capability during disruptions and heightened readiness.
• Processing and preparation of cases within the position's areas of responsibility.
• Participation in development work within Rescue Region Bergslagen.

This provides a unique opportunity to combine business development with operational leadership in critical situations. We view very positively those who are already RIL – or who wish to develop towards this role.
