About Laholm Municipality It is in meeting our residents that the value of our work emerges! As an employee of Laholm Municipality, you help deliver services and support to our residents – every day, year-round. Laholm Municipality encompasses everything from care, support, and education for our residents to infrastructure, maintenance, cultural life, and growth. We believe that every employee has the drive and ability to improve operations and a desire to develop in their profession. As an employee of Laholm Municipality, you have colleagues with many different professions and backgrounds, but what unites us is our mission and our shared core values of joy, courage, participation, commitment, and good example. The Urban Development, Culture, and Public Health Administration (SKF) is one of the country's broadest and most diverse administrations, comprising seven units (Rescue Service, Environmental Unit, Planning and Building Unit, Technical Unit, Meal Unit, Cultural Unit, and Leisure Unit) as well as an Administrative Staff. Our goal is to be a forward-leaning, change-ready, and service-oriented administration held together by our collective development work and our striving to enable each other in our respective professions. At SKF, we work at a high pace with the broadest palette of municipal tasks, which requires our employees to look beyond their respective operations to contribute to the overall administration. In our operations, we respond to three political committees: the Urban Development Committee, the Culture & Public Health Committee, and the Conflict of Interest Committee. Position Details We are now seeking a new colleague who wants to work with supervision of contaminated areas, environmentally hazardous activities, and waste, though other supervisory work may also be relevant. Work tasks can be partially adapted based on your competence, experience, and interests. As an environmental and health protection inspector, you will work independently on many different cases of varying size and complexity. The position involves exercising authority based on multiple legislations. In your role, you will perform inspections, make delegation decisions, and prepare decision documents for the Urban Development Committee and the Conflict of Interest Committee, as well as provide information, guidance, and advice to both the public and businesses. The work is varied and includes both field and office work. You will have many contacts with both citizens and companies in the municipality. A professional approach and good service are crucial, while maintaining the regulatory role and being prepared to make difficult decisions in complex cases when required. Qualifications We are seeking someone with an academic degree in a relevant field, such as environmental and health protection or another equivalent education. Experience working with contaminated areas and waste management is particularly meritorious. We place great emphasis on personal qualities and how you function in the group. As a person, you are proactive, solution-oriented, and motivated by development and improvement. You have good communication skills and can express yourself clearly both verbally and in writing. You treat people with respect and professionalism, and can adapt your communication to the recipient's conditions. It is a significant advantage if you have a pedagogical ability to explain complex issues in an easily understandable way. To succeed in the role, you need to be structured, goal-oriented, and have a good ability to plan and prioritize your work. You work independently but also collaborate well with others, both internally and externally. A driver's license (Class B) is required.
