Vacant job

We keep society moving for people on the road, on rails, in the air, and on the water. That is why we need the best competence. Our mission is important and has significance in everyday life – for both private individuals and businesses. Here, we take responsibility, treat everyone well, and respect differences. As an employee, you contribute to a sustainable future.

About the job

We are looking for new colleagues with a background in civil engineering or vehicle technology. The tasks may be adapted to your competence and new requirements from the surrounding environment.

Our work contributes to enabling sustainable societal development as well as future vehicles and vehicle systems that must meet challenges regarding both safety and the environment. We help shape requirements for, among other things, infrastructure, automated and connected vehicles, intelligent transport systems (ITS), emissions, and noise.

Regulatory development takes place both internationally, within the UN/UNECE and EU, where we participate in decision-making committees and expert groups, and nationally through regulatory work and major investigation assignments from, for example, the government. Both national and international legislation are important tools in achieving transport policy goals, where we can often influence development.

There is great interest from society, and you will often find yourself at the center of events.

The work may involve travel both within and outside Sweden.

You are important to us

Do you enjoy working with others and 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 activities during working hours, flexible working hours, a generous number of vacation days, and extra days off on bridging days.
