Operations Developer with opportunity as Regional Incident Commander (RIL)

Do you want to work close to operational reality while contributing to the development of the fire and rescue service of the future?

Bergslagen Rescue Service is looking for someone who wants to combine analysis, development work, and operational understanding in an organization where you have real influence over how the rescue service develops its capabilities from everyday accidents to tasks within total defense during heightened or highest preparedness. With us, you get a central role in developing operational methods, management, and capability – in close collaboration with other actors in the region.

About Bergslagen Rescue Service

Bergslagen Rescue Service is a municipal federation for six municipalities with a total of approximately 85,000 residents. The federation has about 200 employees distributed across two full-time stations and six part-time stations. We work in an environment where decision-making paths are short and where ideas can quickly be put into practice.

We are part of the Rescue Region Bergslagen together with rescue services in Värmland, Dalarna, and Örebro counties. At the command center Seglet in Örebro, we collaborate daily with the Police, Ambulance Service, and SOS Alarm in a modern operational command environment.

We are in a distinct development phase where operational capability, collaboration, and total defense are in focus.

As an Operations Developer with us, you work with operational planning and business development with the goal that rescue operations can be carried out safely, efficiently, and with high quality.

You get a varied assignment where strategic work is combined with close ties to operational activities.

The work is carried out in close cooperation with managers, operational personnel, and external actors, and provides great opportunities to influence both working methods and development direction.

The content of the position may be shaped based on operational needs and your experience, but roughly it includes the following tasks/responsibilities:

• Responsible for accident investigations and that experience feedback is carried out and developed in accordance with applicable requirements and needs.

• Drive the work to develop a robust rescue service, including continuity, redundancy, and capability during disruptions and heightened preparedness.
• Case management and preparation of matters within the job's areas of responsibility.
• Participation in development work within Rescue Region Bergslagen.
