Vacant job

Water is the world's oldest beverage and our most important food.

With a focus on safety and sustainability, Sydvatten produces drinking water for nearly one million people in Skåne. Sydvatten is one of Sweden's largest drinking water producers.

We own and operate the Bolmen Tunnel, the two water treatment plants Ringsjöverket and Vombverket, as well as the main distribution system for drinking water. Drinking water production is a vital public service, and through collaboration, the 17 shareholder municipalities can guarantee their residents, schools, hospitals, and businesses a secure and cost-effective drinking water supply into the future.

Sydvatten is embarking on an exciting development journey with major investments, a growing organization, and increased commitment to sustainable water usage, which places demands on strengthening the company's internal and external communication. We are therefore looking for a communicator who will play an important role in Sydvatten's continued development.

What we offer

Here you will find a culture characterized by long-term thinking, business-like efficiency, and public benefit. You will have good opportunities for professional development. We also strive to ensure that our employees can maintain a good balance between work and leisure. We aim for gender balance and value the qualities that diversity brings to our operations.

Responsibilities and tasks

The role of communicator at Sydvatten is broad, encompassing both strategic long-term projects and more short-term operational tasks. Important parts of the role will include working on the company's strategic issues related to communication for behavior change leading to reduced water consumption, and strengthening the organization by developing our internal communication and information management.

Day-to-day tasks include working with social media, the website, and the intranet, creating content, and supporting the organization with texts and presentations. Together with the Communications Manager, you will be responsible for handling media contacts, monitoring the external environment, and participating in networks. Participation in educational projects and activities to build the employer brand is also part of the role. Crisis communication is an important part of the duties, and the position is part of Sydvatten's crisis organization.

The focus of the tasks will be determined by your profile and previous experience. In this role, you will work independently and have the opportunity to take many initiatives. You will be offered varied and stimulating work where you have the opportunity to influence the design of your role.

You will belong to the Business Support department, and your direct manager will be the company's Finance Director, who is also the Head of the Business Support department. In your daily work, you will collaborate closely with the company's Communications Manager.
