Company description

Do you have leadership experience and want to work with development and collaboration in one of the most important missions of the future? Apply for the position and contribute to Sweden's fossil-free electricity supply!

Now you have the opportunity to do it with us at Ringhals. We are working together to make Sweden fossil-free within a generation. To achieve our goal, we need committed employees who want to work at one of Sweden's largest electricity producers and at the same time contribute to a better climate on our planet.

Now we are looking for a Group Manager for the Active Waste Decommissioning, Demolition group at Ringhals.

About the role

Waste issues are gaining an increasing focus at Ringhals. There is now an opportunity to be involved and influence the development and enable Vattenfall's vision to make Sweden fossil-free within a generation. The work we are now doing in radioactive waste management is important not only today - but for 100,000 years to come. Now you have the opportunity to be part of creating a safe and fossil-free future for generations to come.

Ringhals' Nuclear Waste Management (NGM) unit manages the plant's low and intermediate level nuclear waste. This includes receiving, treating, packaging, documenting and reporting, and disposing of active waste in accordance with applicable requirements. The unit also performs radiological decontamination of waste, components and tools. The assignment involves managing all Ringhals reactors, both those in operation and those under decommissioning.

Now we are looking for a group manager for our new group; active waste decommissioning (NGMW). The group's mission goes towards program FENIX, which is the activity responsible for the decommissioning of Ringhals 1 and 2. The decommissioning activities will last well into the 2030s.

As group manager, you will lead a group of 28 employees, who are currently consultants, consisting of waste engineers, radio physicists and mission leaders. Together you focus on managing the waste that arises during the dismantling of Ringhals 1 and 2. The group's main task is to create conditions and provide guidelines for the management of both free-classifiable and active waste in the decommissioning process. Within mission management, projects are constantly underway that support and develop waste activities, often in collaboration with several functions within the entire decommissioning operation. The group's work will ensure that the program's common goals are achieved in collaboration with other groups within decommissioning.

Management of low- and intermediate-level waste from the nuclear activities is continuously developed to meet the need that arises in connection with the dismantling and decommissioning of Ringhals 1 and Ringhals 2 and the need that exists to ensure continued safe and stable operation of Ringhals 3 and Ringhals 4.

Together we work for a safe everyday life where leadership, culture and competence are in focus.

Your tasks:

As a group manager, you get a key position where you drive the development of the business and the employees forward. You will lead a team with varied backgrounds and experiences, and we are looking for a manager who can meet the individual based on their needs. It is a dynamic and challenging leadership role in a changing environment where you have operational responsibility for the group's activities.

As a leader, you guide your employees in creating and implementing routines, while ensuring that the work is integrated with existing processes to build an efficient and well-functioning team.

You have close contact with both employees and colleagues and have great opportunities to contribute to our continued development. As a team leader, you work closely with the business with a focus on goal setting and follow-up, and you report directly to the head of unit. Your role will be central to the organization and involves many important internal contacts.

Your communication skills contribute to an open dialog, and you see collaboration as a key to success.

You have a courageous and solution-oriented approach and are driven by developing the business together with your team. You thrive on prioritizing, creating structure and driving work forward, even when challenges arise. If you are also determined and persistent in achieving high goals, then you have good prospects of succeeding in this role!
