Tasks

• It is desirable that our employees have different and complex skills and backgrounds, in order to complement each other in a traffic safety team. All employees in the unit will to a greater or lesser extent have to vary and adapt to the tasks that need to be solved at any given time, so the position also involves contributing to the implementation of the unit's other tasks
