Vacant job

Are you passionate about sports and thrive working outdoors where every day offers variety and meaningful tasks? Then we might be looking for you!

As a sports grounds worker with us, you are the hub of operations, ensuring that thousands of Gothenburg residents can practice their sport on well-maintained and safe facilities. At 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. You ensure that our sports venues are always in top condition, whether it involves maintaining artificial turf, preparing for events, or ensuring exemplary cleanliness.

The Central Unit currently has 13 employees working on our sports venues, two team leaders for these, and a 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 makes the work varied. Events hosted at our venues include the Partille Cup, Gothia Cup, the Gothenburg Half Marathon, athletics competitions such as the World Youth Games and Gothenburg GP, concerts, and much more.

Responsibilities

We are now hiring an employee for our team at Slottsskogsvallen. The position involves working Monday to Friday from 06:30 to 15:30 with a 1-hour break. Evening and weekend work may occur in connection with events.

We share knowledge and learn from each other. In this role, you will have the opportunity to work broadly regarding the operation, maintenance, cleaning, and upkeep of these facilities, as well as the vehicles and machinery used, such as tractors, wheel loaders, and lawnmowers. 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 become the face of Gothenburg's well-maintained sports areas!

Qualifications

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. We consider it an advantage if you have a C and/or E driver's license. It is also beneficial if you have education relevant to the other duties included in the position.

For this position, we place great emphasis on your personal competencies. As a person, you are proactive, 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 spirit and treat organizers, clubs, schools, and the public in a professional manner.

We want the Sports and Club Administration to be characterized by openness and respect for differences, and we believe that diversity and a balanced age and gender distribution contribute to developing our operations and increasing quality. The goal is for this to be reflected in all our workplaces.

We look forward to receiving your application!

Conditions

In this recruitment, we will not request a cover letter as an application document. Instead, applicants will answer a number of questions where we ask you to describe your competence in the requested area.

During the interview, you will need to present a passport, national ID, or personal identity certificate issued by the Swedish Tax Agency, and possibly proof of residence permit if you hold citizenship outside the EU/EEA. This is so that, as an employer, we can verify your identity and ensure you have the right to work in Sweden.

Since the position involves regular contact with children and young people, the hiring manager will request a certificate of good conduct (extract from the criminal record) if you become a candidate for employment. The extract must not be older than one year when presented. You can order an extract from the criminal record via the following link: https://polisen.se/tjanster-tillstand/belastningsregistret/digitalt-registerutdrag/ (https://polisen.se/tjanster-tillstand/belastningsregistret/digitalt-registerutdrag/)
