We make society work for people on the road, on rails, in the air, and on water. That's why we need the best expertise. Our mission is important and makes a difference in everyday life—for both individuals and businesses. At our organization, we take responsibility, treat everyone well, and respect diversity. As an employee, you contribute to a sustainable future.
About the position
Development in the road vehicle sector is moving quickly. That's why it's important that the regulations we have are up-to-date and functional, while we also need to stay ahead when it comes to future vehicle regulation—both in the short and long term.
We are now seeking an investigator to work with and lead assignments within national regulation development. This often involves updating or developing new regulations, but can also include assisting the government on various issues. The section works primarily with national regulation development, but also with some international regulation, investigations, and analyses in the road vehicle sector. The work can therefore vary between general investigation assignments and deeper investigations, such as government assignments.
As an investigator, your main focus is the development of vehicle technical regulations. You will respond to consultations and statements with both internal and external focus. You will work both independently and together with colleagues, and maintain good dialogue with other authorities, the vehicle industry, and other stakeholders who depend on or are affected by the regulations we develop.
In addition to sometimes deepening your knowledge of certain regulations, we see that you will need to be able to lead investigations and assignments over time, which means stepping back to see the bigger picture and thinking long-term. To achieve results, you need the ability to both initiate and lead collaborations, and maintain good dialogue with multiple specialists and functions within our areas of expertise. Work sometimes takes place in teams, so we want you to take responsibility both for yourself and for the collaborations you are involved in, treat everyone well, and respect our differences.
