About the Role

Within the Municipal Administration for Community Development, approximately 20 people currently work in the Water/Waste department. Our shared mission is to ensure safe and sustainable water supply and waste management for the present and future.

Your duties include, but are not limited to:

• Driving garbage trucks in both urban and rural areas.
• Working at the Recycling Centre (ÅVC), where you meet and help our visitors sort their waste correctly.
• Service work with our service vehicle – cleaning recycling stations and replacing or repairing waste bins.
• Machinery work at the transfer station, where you load materials and organize containers.

You will use vehicle computers and other digital systems for driving orders, reporting, and communication.

Working hours may include day, evening, and weekend shifts, as the Recycling Centre is open during these times.

Qualifications

Requirements:

• YKB (Certificate of Professional Competence).
• Category C driving license.

• Can work independently and make decisions when necessary.
• Has a friendly and helpful attitude towards both colleagues and residents.

Merits:

• Experience and driving familiarity within waste management or recycling.
• Local knowledge of Tidaholm.
• Training and driving experience with wheel loaders (not a requirement – do not hesitate to apply anyway).
