Vacant job

About the role

Do you also want to work in a development-oriented environment where you become a key link in a socially vital operation? Society's increasing need for electricity, climate change, and an increased security political threat picture mean that the electricity supply needs to increase its efforts to handle serious disruptions and threats. We are now looking for a Readiness Specialist with a focus on Total Defence who will contribute to strengthening the electricity supply's readiness for extreme events that may entail severe strain on society.

As a Readiness Specialist with a focus on Total Defence, you will work to strengthen Svenska Kraftnät's and the electricity supply's readiness for crises, heightened readiness, and ultimately war. You will work independently and together with others to drive the work within the area of responsibility both internally and externally.

• Drive the development and implementation of government assignments within total defence matters.
• Act as an advisor on total defence issues internally at the agency and externally towards other actors.
• Represent Svenska Kraftnät in various types of networks for cooperation and leadership.
• Lead working groups, either temporary or permanent, on various development issues related to total defence and crisis preparedness.

You will likely be part of Svenska Kraftnät's crisis organization in the event of a societal disruption.

The assignment is complex as the operations are constantly growing and thus changing. Participating in and developing processes as we go is a natural part of the assignment.

• Serve as a strategic analytical support within the areas of crisis preparedness, continuity management, and total defence within the electricity supply.
• Follow up and evaluate measures that strengthen our capabilities in the area.
• Contribute to systematic learning from conducted exercises, analyses, and incidents that have occurred within the electricity supply.
• Coordinate and conduct analyses of risks, trends, and developments in the external environment within the area.

Represent Svenska Kraftnät in various types of networks for cooperation with other actors.

The unit currently consists of 14 employees, half men and half women, most with long experience of work within the preparedness area.
