Solna is Committed to Being at the Forefront of Sustainability and Climate Work
We are now seeking you who want to be part of the Environment and Climate Unit during the regular environmental strategist's parental leave.
About Us
One of Solna's most important goals is to develop sustainably and for the city's own operations to become climate-neutral by 2035, while Solna City as a whole should be climate-neutral by 2045.
The Environment and Climate Unit coordinates the city's environmental and climate work and supports all city departments in their efforts. The unit consists of a unit manager, municipal ecologist, water strategist, and two environmental strategists. The different areas of responsibility are closely linked, and everyone benefits from each other's projects and various areas of expertise. We are now seeking a temporary environmental strategist during the regular strategist's parental leave.
The unit is part of the Urban Development Administration, which has around 80 employees. The strategic environmental work is reported directly to the City Executive Board.
Your manager also has personnel and budget responsibility for the seven people working as environmental inspectors in the Environmental Protection Unit, and there is an exchange of knowledge and experience between the units.
Our Offer
We offer you a stimulating workplace where you become part of a team with committed and knowledgeable colleagues. Each person takes great responsibility for their own tasks while everyone helps and supports each other.
You will have the opportunity to participate in networks and working groups with other municipalities and within the organization.
We offer flexible working hours, the possibility of remote work when the work allows, and wellness allowance.
What Does the Environmental Strategist Role Involve?
Together with the other environmental strategist, you will be responsible for coordinating and developing the city's strategic environmental and climate work. You will work on issues related to transportation, waste, energy, air, and climate adaptation.
You will participate in goal follow-up, compile data, and monitor the outside world to capture new legislation affecting the work. You will support procurement and contract follow-up, and revision of guiding documents. The city has conducted mapping to work strategically with climate adaptation measures, and you will be driving the continued work on this. Mass management, mobility, and energy are other important issues you will work with.
The position involves many contact surfaces, and you will be a crucial support for the city's departments in their work to achieve set environmental and climate goals. You will also contribute to increasing knowledge among businesses and private individuals to collectively drive the environmental strategic work forward. You will participate in working groups and reference groups in various types of projects and work with external and internal communication.
As an environmental strategist, you have ample opportunity to develop both yourself and the organization.
Who Are We Looking For?
- We are seeking someone with a genuine interest in sustainability issues and with relevant academic education or equivalent work experience.
- It is meritorious if you have experience in strategic environmental and climate work, especially issues related to mass management and/or climate adaptation.
- We prefer candidates with experience in collecting, interpreting, calculating, and reporting environmental and climate data.
- You can express yourself well in Swedish and English, both verbally and in writing.
The assignment requires you to work independently, take great responsibility for your tasks, and focus on the unit's collective results. You set and keep timeframes, are structured, and can plan your work independently within your areas of responsibility. You appreciate working with diverse issues and understand that new assignments arise continuously.
As you will be in contact with politicians, officials, businesses, and citizens, you must be service-oriented, communicative, and have a good ability to collaborate with others. Furthermore, you can convey facts in a simple and clear manner and have a drive that is contagious, thereby motivating people to contribute to climate work.
