4 positions(s) available.

The Fire and Rescue Service is part of Luleå Municipality and has the mission to work towards ensuring that people who live and work in Luleå are safe and secure. At our Fire and Rescue Service, approximately 100 employees work. Our most common roles are firefighters, fire engineers, fire inspectors, and case handlers. We respond to approximately 1,100 alarms per year and are, among other things, a national chemical resource and have an agreement with SMC (Släckmedelscentralen) to handle fires in oil tanks.

In addition to our own operations, the station also houses the ambulance and SOS alarm operations and serves as a joint rescue center for the 19 municipalities in Norrbotten and Västerbotten that are part of Räddningsamverkan Nord.

Being a firefighter in Luleå is a broad and varied assignment. Our distinct and changing seasons provide a natural variety in the content of work and the challenges we face.

To keep pace with societal changes and prepare us for future challenges, we are currently transitioning to a 5-shift system. This is also the direct reason why we now need to strengthen our already strong team with more firefighters.

We are now looking for you who want to be part of our strength and contribute to our continued development!

We offer you

• Involvement & community in a leading-edge fire and rescue service
• Passionate and driven colleagues
• Modern and well-adapted facilities
• Access to a new and top-equipped gym at the workplace
• The opportunity to contribute to the change and development of the operations

Job Description

As a firefighter, you will have a varied job in our full-time staff where you work in a team of 8 people. Your tasks will include handling fires, various types of accidents, and preparing, executing, and evaluating rescue operations. A large part of the work also consists of training, vehicle and equipment maintenance, accident prevention measures, and physical training. We have good opportunities for training activities, including at the Fire and Rescue Service's Education Center (RUC).

In addition to these basic operational tasks, you will also, based on previous experience and personal suitability, be an important part of developing our operations in one or more of the following areas:

• Training and education
• Supervision and referral handling
• Learning and operation evaluation
• Fire and Rescue Service under heightened readiness (RUHB)

The positions are full-time and in shift work with an average working time of 42 hours per week. We plan for a transition to a 5-shift system, but other scheduling models may also occur if needed.

Qualifications

To succeed in the role of firefighter, good physical fitness, swimming ability, and an interest in training are required, as you will be faced with situations that require good physical condition. Furthermore, a driver's license with category C (heavy truck) is required. You must also be able to communicate fluently in Swedish, both orally and in writing. We believe you are a person who has a good ability to collaborate in a group, build trusting relationships, and adapt to different situations and contexts. As a firefighter, it is of great importance to get things done and act responsibly, both during alarms and in daily work at the station. Furthermore, you have good initiative skills where you can independently drive issues and work within different areas of responsibility.

In addition to the above requirements, the following are meritorious for the position:

• Protection against Accidents (SMO), GRIB, or equivalent older education such as Full-time Firefighter or experience that the employer deems equivalent
• Knowledge/experience in areas such as technology, IT, healthcare, authority supervision, or craft professions
• Professional experience as a firefighter

We welcome both female and male applicants for the positions.

Application Process

In this recruitment, we will test your physical fitness and personal suitability over two days. Tests will be conducted on-site at Brandgatan 3 in Luleå during week 39. Interviews are planned to take place during weeks 39 and 40. If you need to travel to us, we intend to coordinate test days and interviews into one and the same occasion as much as possible. Accommodation can be arranged if necessary; you cover any travel costs yourself.

Qualified applicants who are to be called for test days will receive a link prior to this to upload results from a approved roller test (according to AFS 2005:6 §51) as well as certificates for either lifeguard step 1 or the gold badge. The certificates must not be older than 1 year. You do not need to submit any certificates with your application; wait until we request them.

If you have questions about the position, you are welcome to contact Section Chief Robert Sundbom from 2026-07-27 at 0920-45 41 52 or [email protected]. If you have questions about the recruitment process, you are welcome to contact HR Consultant Anna Wiklund from 2026-08-03 at 0920-45 34 32 or [email protected].
