About this role
Are you interested in working on preparedness issues with significant societal importance? Are you a structured person who enjoys applying analytical skills? Do you thrive in an environment with many contact points? Then you could be our future colleague!
The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority is a preparedness authority with important tasks in crisis preparedness and civil defense. Within crisis preparedness, we are tasked with being proactive and providing expert competence in national radiation protection preparedness.

The Development and Preparedness Unit is responsible for developing and directing preparedness. We work proactively in crisis preparedness and civil defense. The unit consists of a unit manager and 15 employees. We are now seeking an investigator focused on preparedness and nuclear technical analysis for nuclear facilities, both for existing and potential new facilities. Nuclear technical analysis involves assessing the status of a nuclear facility during an event and estimating the potential size of a release (source term).
Societally Critical Work Tasks
You will be part of a group working proactively, in collaboration with nuclear facilities and relevant authorities, to enhance society's ability to manage a radiological emergency situation during both crisis and heightened preparedness.
We offer you a developmental and exciting job where you will primarily work on:
• Developing the nuclear technical analysis function in the crisis organization
• Leading and participating in investigations
• Monitoring the external environment

• Civil engineering degree or other education deemed relevant by the authority, or several years of work experience in the nuclear industry
• Good knowledge of reactor safety or safety in other nuclear activities, focused on work in crisis organizations with high safety requirements, severe accidents, development of disruption instructions, accident management strategies, and/or other work involving development and/or training in accident management
• Strong ability to express yourself verbally and in writing in Swedish and English
It is meritorious if you have experience with:
• Preparedness at nuclear facilities
• Source term estimations
• Safety function structure and design
• Plant-wide safety analyses or accident analyses using tools like Riskspectrum, MAAP, MELCOR
• Regulatory work or interpretation and implementation of regulatory requirements
• Training and exercise activities
• Project management or other types of team leadership

We expect you to have high safety awareness and be able to work according to our core values and the State's fundamental values.
