As our colleague goes on study leave, we are now looking for you who are curious, proactive, and enjoy driving development forward in the role of Waste Developer.

Here, you will have the opportunity to make a difference by developing and improving the handling of waste fractions, as well as working towards increased reuse and recycling. Your focus areas will be reducing food and residual waste, improving sorting, and creating behavioral changes together with our customers.

• Dissemination of knowledge and information about waste management internally and externally.
• Creating and participating in collaboration forums to strengthen development within waste management.
• Monitoring the external environment and networking with other market actors to develop our waste collection service.

This is you!

We welcome applicants with both junior and senior experience and consider it an advantage if you have experience driving projects and development work.

• We offer a dynamic work environment with opportunities for competence development and influencing the future of waste management.

Terms and application
