Requirements for the position:
- At least 2 years of work experience in similar work (e.g., repair of heavy vehicles, trucks, construction machinery, agricultural machinery, or heavy industry).
- Good knowledge of Swedish (spoken and written) as well as English (spoken).
- Category B driver's license (an absolute requirement as you depart with a service vehicle).
Meritorious:
- Experience with welding and machining (lathe and milling).

- Solution-oriented, proactive, and self-reliant.
