Do you have a passion for sports and thrive working outdoors?

Then we are looking for you! As a sports groundskeeper with us, you are the hub of operations, ensuring that thousands of Gothenburg residents can practice their sports on well-maintained and safe facilities. On the Central Unit, you will become part of a dedicated team that together takes responsibility for some of the city's most important sports environments.

About the role

We are currently hiring a team member for our team at Slottsskogsvallen. The position involves working Monday–Friday, 06:30–15:30, with a 1-hour break. Evening and weekend work may occur in connection with events.

The Central Unit currently has 13 employees working on our sports grounds, two team leaders, and one unit manager. The unit is responsible for the operation of the Slottsskogsvallen sports area, Heden, Skatås, and artificial and natural grass pitches in central Gothenburg. The mix of artificial turf, grass pitches, and athletics facilities ensures varied work. Events hosted at our facilities include Partille Cup, Gothia Cup, the Gothenburg Half Marathon, athletics competitions such as World Youth Games and Gothenburg GP, concerts, and much more.

Your responsibilities

We share knowledge and learn from each other. In this role, you will have the opportunity to work broadly with operation, maintenance, cleaning, and upkeep of these facilities, as well as the vehicles and machinery used, such as tractors, wheel loaders, and lawn mowers. The work also includes cleaning changing rooms and toilets.

We would love for you to have a heart that beats for club life and sports, as this will give you an extra dimension in understanding and meeting the needs of our visitors and clubs. Come and be the face of Gothenburg's well-maintained sports areas!

We are looking for someone who has previously worked with similar tasks as described above, has experience working on sports facilities (e.g., artificial and grass pitches), and has relevant machine experience for the position. A manual B-driver's license is required. Having a C and/or E driver's license is considered an advantage, as is relevant education for other tasks included in the position.

We place great emphasis on your personal competencies for this role. As a person, you are driven, take initiative, and ensure that work moves forward, whether you are working alone or with others. We assume your ability to collaborate is good. The role requires you to be structured and orderly, using your time efficiently and working systematically and carefully. You have a strong service mindset and treat organizers, clubs, schools, and the public correctly.
