We are now looking for an engaged vacuum waste system planner who wants to contribute to the development and management of Sundbyberg's vacuum waste operations. Here, you will have the opportunity to work close to the operations and be involved in planning, investigations, and ongoing development work.

About the position

Sundbyberg is growing rapidly, and we are facing several major urban development projects where sustainable waste solutions play a crucial role. As a vacuum waste system planner, you will support the work with planning, development, and management of the company's vacuum waste facilities.

You will work together with experienced colleagues and have the opportunity to gradually develop within the field. The role is broad and varied, involving many interfaces, both internally and externally. You will collaborate with property owners, developers, consultants, and representatives from the city, among others.

You will belong to the Vacuum Waste Unit, where you will work together to develop future sustainable waste solutions in Sundbyberg.

It is meritorious if you have experience working in projects, public sector work, as well as experience with vacuum waste systems, waste issues, or other technical infrastructure.

Personal qualities

To thrive in the role, you are self-reliant and take responsibility for your tasks. You structure your own work and drive your processes forward in an efficient manner. Since the role involves handling several different issues in parallel, it is important that you are structured and plan, organize, and prioritize your work effectively.

You have good teamwork skills and work well with other people. You relate to others in a listening and flexible way and contribute to good collaboration both internally and externally. The role involves many interfaces, so it is also important that you are communicative and can express yourself clearly in both speech and writing.

We are looking for someone who takes initiative, starts activities, and has the desire to develop and learn more in the area. You are quality-conscious and meticulous in your work, and have the ability to analyze and handle issues in a solution-oriented manner.

We place great emphasis on personal qualities.

Here, you will work with approximately 50 engaged employees who enjoy working together. We are a smaller municipal company where decision-making paths are short, and you have the opportunity to develop and influence the operations.
