AFRY offers services in engineering, design, digitalization and consulting. We are dedicated experts in industry, energy and infrastructure, creating value for future generations. AFRY has a global reach with deep roots in the Nordics. Together, we are accelerating the transition to a more sustainable society.

Job description

In the Environment business area, AFRY offers qualified consulting services within environment, sustainability and contaminated areas. In Gothenburg/Halmstad, AFRY currently has four sections that work with notification and permit cases, water and air investigations, environmental impact assessments, environmental investigations, environmental soil surveys, environmental controls, risk assessments, sustainability, auditing, environmental management and quality management. 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 in speech and writing,
  • B-driving license

It is meritorious, but not a requirement, if you have a few years of experience in:

  • working as a project manager or task manager,
  • working as an environmental consultant, environmental manager at a company or at a government agency,
  • working with customers and other stakeholders to discuss and present assignments and make recommendations.

At AFRY we live by our values: "Brave - Devoted - Team players" which also says a lot about who we are looking for! We attach great importance to your personal qualities, as we value commitment, flexibility and your ability to collaborate with others.
