Job Description Do you enjoy variety in your work, collaborating, and being involved in both planned and event-driven problem-solving? Then Sewer Network (Ledningsnät) is for you. We own and operate our own facilities, and no one does it better than we do ourselves. Today we have approximately 160 employees distributed across eight units. The responsibility for wastewater operations is shared by two units that work in close collaboration with each other. Together they are responsible for the operational management and maintenance of the wastewater pipe network and associated facilities within Gothenburg city. The sewer network wastewater pump unit's primary area of responsibility and main tasks are preventive and corrective maintenance of pumps/pump stations and wastewater facilities to ensure safe system operation. We are currently a team of 15 colleagues with different experiences and competencies who together tackle the varied work tasks that the operation entails. Here you get free and varied work with great personal responsibility. You work practically with operations, maintenance, and troubleshooting, and you get to plan and prioritize your work based on operational needs. One day you work with a pump station somewhere in Gothenburg, another day in the workshop, and sometimes your work takes you by boat to our facilities in the southern archipelago.
