Our mission is important and has significance in everyday life – both for private individuals and companies. At our organization, we take responsibility, treat everyone well, and respect differences.

Do you want to contribute to a safer transport system and make a difference for society through qualified medical assessments? Do you want to become part of our national and international expertise regarding medical fitness for driving licenses or rail traffic? We are now looking for a physician who wants to work with traffic medicine issues at the Swedish Transport Agency.

About the job

Traffic medical assessments affect both individual opportunities to hold a driving license and society's work for increased traffic safety. Therefore, the basis for decisions must be medically well-founded, legally secure, and consistent. The work places high demands on medical knowledge, analytical ability, and the ability to translate medical assessments into a public authority context.

As a physician here, you work with medical issues that are significant for traffic safety and individuals' conditions for operating vehicles safely. The work includes medical assessments based on current regulations, analysis of complex cases, counseling to the operations and external contacts, and participation in the development of the agency's work within traffic medicine.

You are important to us

Do you like working together with others and do you want to develop in your professional role? Here you can expect career development, a trust-based leadership and employee relationship, and a sustainable working life. We are a secure employer that cares about your health with time for wellness during working hours, flexible working hours, a generous number of vacation days, and free sandwich days.
