Company description

Svensk Kärnbränslehantering AB, SKB, is working on one of Sweden's largest environmental protection projects. SKB's mission is to take care of all radioactive waste from the Swedish nuclear power plants. This must be done in a safe manner for both people and the environment.

Today, around 600 people are employed at SKB. We have extensive collaboration with experts and contractors outside the company.

SKB's head office is located in Arenastaden in Solna. We also have offices in Oskarshamn and Forsmark/Östhammar, where we have facilities and conduct various activities for the construction of a final repository for spent nuclear fuel.

About the role

We are building opportunities for a fossil-free future

SKB is now underway with three major construction projects to finalize the Swedish nuclear waste. This is largely pioneering work and involves many complex challenges that enable fossil-free electricity production in Sweden's nuclear power plants.

Are you ready for a large and important job that will make a difference for people and the environment for a very long time to come?

SKB is looking for a driven and competent security protection manager with a holistic approach.

The unit works mainly in the areas of information security, physical security and personnel security, as well as physical protection based on the Nuclear Activities Act.

What you will do

In your role as Head of Security Protection, you will be right in the thick of security protection. The newly created post of Head of Unit for Security Protection means that you will play a crucial role in ensuring a comprehensive function to coordinate, manage and control security protection activities. As Head of Unit, you will lead the business towards common goals and contribute to efficiency and flexibility that benefits both the unit and the company.

• Strategic objective: Identify and set overall objectives for physical protection and security and follow up on implementation.
• Control and follow-up: Be responsible for checking and following up on compliance with physical protection and security requirements and clearly report and recommend necessary actions.

• Requirements management: Be responsible for managing requirements from authorities and the Vattenfall Group.

• Report to SKB's CEO and participate in management team issues in physical protection and security protection.

Requirement specification

You:

• have experience of security protection work, both strategically and operationally.

• have a university education or other equivalent experience. We also see it as an advantage if you have completed a diploma or certification as a security protection manager.
• have experience from management positions, preferably from industry or government agencies with high protection values. It is an advantage if you have previous experience from nuclear activities.

We are looking for you who have strong communication skills, which will help you reach different audiences and build trust in an environment where security is our top priority. You are solution-oriented and structured, with the ability to see the big picture and work as a team player through and through. You inspire and motivate through an unpretentious and coaching approach, and you have the ability to make wise decisions even in pressured situations. Through your clear and effective communication, you contribute to building strong relationships and promoting a positive work culture.
