• Create and quality-assure functional descriptions and technical specifications for projects and procurement.
• Support the operations organization with technical expertise and analysis.

Qualifications

• A degree in civil engineering or higher education in fields such as environmental engineering, process technology, chemical engineering, biotechnology, mechanical engineering, or equivalent work experience.
• Good technical understanding and interest in processes.
• Experience in analysis and monitoring.
• Valid driver's license (Category B, manual transmission).
• Computer literacy.
• Fluency in Swedish, both spoken and written.

Preferred Experience

It is an advantage if you have experience with:

• Collaborate easily and communicate well with different functions.
• Are meticulous and quality-conscious.
• Enjoy a role that combines technology, coordination, and development.
