Job Responsibilities

We are looking for someone who wants to combine accident prevention work with operational duty.

The Incident Commanders at Värend Fire and Rescue Services work with overarching operational issues combined with operational duty. In this role, you will work with accident prevention issues and regulatory enforcement, such as supervision within LSO (Local Safety Ordinance) and LBE (Building and Environmental Code), permit processing for LBE, referral handling, self-inspection, and information/advisory services.

In the function of Incident Commander, you will be responsible for creating direction and coordination of an ongoing rescue operation at the scene of an accident, and creating foresight over time. This is to prevent or limit damage and mitigate consequences as much as possible in the event of an individual accident.

The position is located at and based out of the Växjö full-time station.
