Part of something bigger

Svevia is today Sweden's largest operation contractor. Within operation and maintenance, we handle, among other things, summer and winter road maintenance for half of the state's road network. And many municipalities, private companies, and road associations hire us to take care of their roads and outdoor environments.

With us, you contribute to a larger whole. We plow for the family heading to the mountains. We ensure that business goods transports arrive safely and ensure that streets, squares, and parks are clean and tidy. Furthermore, we protect lives on the road through our offerings in traffic safety devices.

Why Svevia?

We care about being a workplace for everyone. Leading through your employees is seen as a matter of course. It is as a team that we create success. This is how we do business and generate results. This is how we make cities and the countryside function. Do you want to share the road with us?
