Our customers are found in the private as well as the municipal and government sectors.

As an experienced environmental consultant, your assignments can vary and deal with everything from wind power, solar power, industries and various water activities to infrastructure projects in rail and road and environmental assessments in planning cases. You will have the opportunity to participate in various assignments both locally, regionally and nationally. We allow you to take on a great deal of responsibility and you are welcome to take on the role of project manager, have customer contacts and, if interested, also work on international assignments. If you have a particular specialist competence, there is the opportunity to participate in the development of our service offering.

The demand for consultants in permit matters for industries is particularly high and we are therefore looking for you who want to complement and expand our offer in this area.

AFRY has a large group of environmental consultants who collaborate throughout the country and ensure quality assurance of the assignments as well as exchange important knowledge, experience, support each other and monitor the development of the industry together.

  • An analytical and strategic mindset with a good ability to see opportunities and solutions that add value to our customers
  • Good knowledge of Swedish and English, both spoken and written
