Vacant job

At the Swedish Migration Agency, we work with one of the great societal challenges of our time – migration. In total, we are about 6,000 people here, and we have an unusually important job!

We are now looking for safety experts within several areas who can support both projects and administration for our local supply units at the Swedish Migration Agency.

Together with your colleagues, you contribute to supporting the employees of the local supply section by creating the best possible conditions for our operations in detention centers, housing, and administrative premises.

What does a Safety Expert do?

You engage in dialogue with experts, requirement setters, stakeholders, as well as operations and individuals with varying levels of insight. This means you need to be able to adapt your communication and interpret complex legal requirements and expert opinions for people with other areas of knowledge.

You step into an organization in change and with the need to adapt to new requirements and needs.

The role involves driving fire safety issues in collaboration with other requirement-setting parts, such as Safety and Accessibility, and managing these needs/requirements in the project and construction process.

You are to support the operations and administration in assessing the need for measures and formulating these measures for tenders, internal measures, or orders of external consulting assignments.

You work in a business-driven property environment with varied objects where you combine on-site inventory with analysis, structure, action, and documentation.

The focus is on creating safe, secure, and functionally adapted premises for the operations.

You become an important safety expert in matters concerning the fire technical conditions of buildings, deviations from regulations, and documentation that needs to be both correct and practically usable.

You will work in a group/unit together with a senior fire engineer and, provided planned decisions are made, experts in security and security protection.

Who are you?

As a person, you are secure and have the ability to meet people in different situations in a professional and respectful manner. You have integrity and make decisions based on legislation and facts, while being sensitive and able to adapt your approach. You work independently with your cases and have an analytical approach where you are ready to reconsider previous positions when new conditions arise.

We place great emphasis on personal suitability.

We are looking for you who have:

• Swedish citizenship
• An academic education as a fire engineer or a post-secondary education/experience that the employer deems equivalent.
• Very good Swedish in speech, writing, and reading comprehension
• Good English in speech, writing, and reading comprehension
• Experience in fire safety design
• Experience in producing fire safety documentation according to the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning's regulations
• Knowledge of the construction process and current building regulations
• Experience in collaborating and coordinating various issues in consultation with experts, requirement setters, and stakeholders

It is meritorious if you have:

• Experience in producing administration documentation regarding fire safety and fire safety drawings
• Experience from the rescue service's supervision activities / LSO assessments
• Experience in emergency preparedness activities and development thereof
• Experience working within government operations
