Operations Technician

In the municipality's water and sewage operations, a total of 26 people work to supply a large portion of the municipality's residents and businesses with municipal drinking water and to treat the wastewater that is discharged into the municipal sewer system. The water and sewage operations are one of five departments within the technical administration. We operate throughout the municipality, but our main workplace is at Reffelmansverket in Hudiksvall. The department consists of three sections that focus on the operation and maintenance of water treatment plants, sewage treatment plants, and purification plants, as well as a more overarching function for investigations, projects, new construction, subscriber issues, and similar tasks. **Job Responsibilities** As a sewage operations technician within the water and sewage operations, you will work with the operation and maintenance of our approximately 60 sewage facilities throughout the municipality. These facilities include sewage treatment plants and pumping stations. As a technician with us, you will have significant responsibility for ensuring that our facilities are managed and maintained as optimally as possible. You will closely collaborate with other technicians within your unit, but there will also be close cooperation with other staff. In addition to your unit's tasks, you may also be required to assist with other responsibilities within the operations as needed. On-call duty may be part of the position. Since the job involves working in sewage facilities, good hygiene and organization of tools and equipment are essential. **Your Profile** A degree in sewage operations technology or equivalent competence acquired in other ways is desirable. Experience in the operation and maintenance of water and sewage facilities is an advantage. You will collaborate with others in the department and have contact with subscribers and contractors. Good teamwork skills are required for these assignments. You should be responsible, service-oriented, empathetic, unpretentious, and have the willingness and interest to assist subscribers and colleagues. You have the ability to work both independently and collaboratively with others. **About the Administration** We sweep streets, plow roads, and build new infrastructure as the urban areas of Hudiksvall grow. We ensure that the parks bloom and that the food waste you sort becomes biogas for cars and fertilizer for our fields. We prepare nutritious meals for our children, youth, and elderly – every day. We are responsible for maps and GIS so that the community can develop. We ensure that there is clean water in your tap and in nature, and that our students travel to and from school safely with school transport. We manage properties such as elderly care homes, schools, swimming pools, and sports halls – keeping them clean and well-maintained. Together, we are the technical administration – a part of Hudiksvall Municipality. **About Hudiksvall Municipality** Located in the heart of Sweden, along the beautiful Hälsingland coast, lies Hudiksvall Municipality – perhaps better known as Glada Hudik.
