• Communication skills in Swedish and English
• Manual Class B driver’s license (held for at least three years)

To thrive and succeed in this role, we expect you to have a methodical and meticulous approach to work. You are flexible, responsible, and always prioritize safety. It is also important that you communicate effectively and clearly and enjoy working both independently and as part of a team.
