About the work as a specialist and engineer in licensing and requirements management regarding radiation safety and/or security protection:

You will mainly work with licensing processes and compliance for Vattenfall's nuclear facilities. The issues can be of different nature depending on whether they are related to radiation safety or security protection, and depending on where in the business the assignment is carried out.

Your focus is one or more steps in the licensing process / the path to compliance, from identified need to commissioning. Vattenfall's facilities are subject to requirements from, among others, the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority and the Swedish Security Police, and compliance with these authorities' regulations is a cornerstone of the licensing work.
