Plant Operator

– A Job with Room for Growth!

Do you thrive in a varied workday where, together with your team, you produce high-quality drinking water and handle wastewater in an environmentally sound manner at the municipality's water and wastewater facilities? Are you independent and solution-focused? Then you might be the plant operator we are looking for!

Welcome to us!

You will come to a workplace with a strong sense of community and pride in our vital societal mission. We value our employees and invest in participation, development, and a balance between work and leisure. We offer, among other things, wellness hours or a wellness allowance and the possibility of exchanging vacation days for extra pay.

In the water and wastewater department, employees work with great competence and experience. It is a good group with commitment to both the job and the municipality's development, as well as to each other. The water and wastewater department has newly renovated and functional facilities to operate from, and the break room is a natural gathering place where it is easy to find topics of conversation both within and outside the water and wastewater field.

The municipal executive administration supports three committees: the Municipal Executive Board, the Building and Environment Committee, and the Community Development Committee. The administration employs about 135 employees and is divided into the areas of staff, building and environment, and community development and growth, where the water and wastewater department is included.

We collaborate with other departments within the municipality and with other municipalities.
