The assignment also includes process development at Gotland's water and wastewater treatment plants, where analysis of operational data and process trends are used to improve treatment results, energy efficiency, and chemical consumption. The unit works closely with the operations organization, engineers, and external specialists to develop operational documentation and materials for the continued development and capacity of the facilities.

Your Responsibilities
As a process engineer in the Water and Waste Department, you are responsible for optimizing and developing processes at our water and wastewater treatment plants. You analyze operational data and process trends to identify improvement opportunities and ensure that our facilities maintain high performance, for example in terms of treatment results, energy efficiency, and chemical consumption.
We work in a project-driven operation, which means that much of process development occurs in project form. You drive improvement projects from analysis to implementation, often in close collaboration with engineers and other specialists, and contribute your process expertise throughout the project's duration.
An important part of the role is to develop and maintain operational documentation for the operations organization so that the plants can be operated optimally and with the right conditions. You also prepare materials for strategic decisions regarding the continued development and capacity of the facilities.
The role includes close collaboration with operations staff, engineers, and external specialists to jointly create sustainable and future-proof process solutions for all of Gotland.
We offer you an exciting role with meaningful tasks, working together with development-oriented and knowledgeable colleagues in a creative work environment. The work takes place mainly on-site at our facilities, but some opportunity for remote work exists when the work allows it.
Who Are You?
You have an academic degree in chemical engineering, biotechnology, environmental engineering, water and wastewater engineering, or equivalent. A vocational (YH) education with a process focus combined with several years of relevant experience may be equivalent.
We are looking for someone with at least three years of documented experience from operations or process development at water or wastewater treatment plants. You have a good understanding of biological, chemical, and mechanical treatment processes and are experienced in interpreting and analyzing operational data. It is particularly meritorious if you have experience in process development with a focus on energy efficiency or chemical consumption, as well as knowledge of applicable legislation and permits within water and wastewater services. Since we work in a project-driven operation, previous project experience or project management experience is also meritorious.
As a person, you are analytical and solution-oriented and enjoy finding root causes and driving improvement work. You are self-driven and take your own initiatives, while communicating clearly and being able to convey technical conclusions to both colleagues and decision-makers. You work in a structured manner and document your work carefully. We place great importance on personal qualities.
Driver's License Category B is a requirement since the role involves site visits to our technical facilities.
