The department has undergone significant changes in recent years, including the introduction of property-proximity collection and four-compartment bins. The focus now is on continuing to develop the operations, creating efficient working methods, and ensuring a well-functioning collection service for the municipality's residents.

YOUR ROLE

As the Unit Manager for Waste and Collection, you are responsible for a department that collects household waste and packaging from municipal households, as well as waste from certain businesses and operations.

You have overall responsibility for the operations, economy, working environment, and employees. The role also includes responsibility for the contractors who perform parts of the collection in the municipality's outer areas.

An important part of the role is to continue developing the operations together with the employees. This involves both creating conditions for smooth daily operations and driving development issues that contribute to efficient, sustainable, and customer-oriented waste management.

You work closely with other units within the Water and Waste department and are part of the management group, where you collaborate to develop the operations as a whole.

YOUR COMPETENCE AND EXPERIENCE

It is an advantage if you have experience from waste operations, the environmental sector, or other operations focusing on logistics, operations, or public services.

To succeed in the role, you need to be confident in your leadership and have the ability to create participation, engagement, and accountability within the team. You collaborate well with others and build trusting relationships with employees, colleagues, and external partners.

You work in a structured manner and have the ability to plan, prioritize, and follow up on operations when multiple issues are ongoing simultaneously. The role involves many contact surfaces, which requires that you can communicate well in Swedish, both orally and in writing.

You have good digital skills. Experience with EDP Future or similar operational systems is an advantage.

A class B driver's license is required.
