Geolog - Lediga jobb

Vill du inleda din karriär som berggrundsgeolog i en samhällsviktig myndighet? Vi söker nu en junior berggrundsgeolog som vill utvecklas i rollen tillsammans med erfarna kollegor. Sveriges geologiska undersökning (SGU) är myndigheten för frågor om berg, jord och grundvatten i Sverige. Vi tillhandahåller geologisk information för samhällets behov på kort och lång sikt och är en del av Sveriges beredskapsstruktur.

Enheten Samhällsplanering Berg ingår i avdelningen Samhällsplanering och består av tolv medarbetare placerade i Uppsala och Lund. Enheten arbetar brett med bland annat koldioxidlagring, geoenergi, bergkvalitet, materialförsörjning, byggnadsgeologi och geoturism. Ett växande och prioriterat område är att ta fram geologiska underlag kopplade till beredskap inom bygg, handel och industri.

Arbetsuppgifter

Detta är en utvecklingstjänst för dig som är i början av din karriär. Du får en strukturerad introduktion och kommer under en inledande period att arbeta nära erfarna geologer, inklusive att gå dubbelt i vissa moment för att successivt ta mer eget ansvar.

Som junior berggrundsgeolog kommer du att:

• Delta i geologiskt fältarbete med provtagning och insamling
• Arbeta med sammanställning, tolkning och modellering av berggrundsinformation
• Medverka i team som arbetar med materialförsörjning från berggrunden
• Bidra till att utveckla och tillgängliggöra SGU:s geologiska information
• Delta i handläggning av ärenden och beredning av remisser
• Andra uppgifter som är relevanta för enheten

Tjänsten innebär en kombination av fält- och kontorsarbete.

Du är anställd som statstjänsteman, vilket innebär att arbetet präglas av saklighet, opartiskhet och noggrann dokumentation.

Kompetens

Vi söker dig som har:

• Avslutad universitets-/högskoleexamen lägst kandidatexamen inom berggrundsgeologi eller geovetenskap
• God förmåga att uttrycka dig väl i tal och skrift på svenska och engelska

Meriterande erfarenheter och kompetens:

• Erfarenhet från tidigare geologiskt arbete
• Programmering/databashantering
• GIS-kunskaper

Tidigare erfarenhet är meriterande men inte ett krav – vi värdesätter särskilt din vilja att lära och utvecklas i myndighetsrollen.

Personliga kvalifikationer

Vi söker dig som är nyfiken, analytisk och vill bygga en stabil yrkesgrund inom geologisk samhällsplanering. Du har god samarbetsförmåga, är strukturerad, ansvarstagande och initiativrik. Du trivs med att kombinera praktiskt fältarbete med analytiskt och skriftligt arbete. Vi kommer att lägga stor vikt vid dina personliga kvalifikationer vid beslut om anställning.

Om SGU

Sveriges geologiska undersökning (SGU) är myndigheten för frågor om berg, jord och grundvatten i Sverige. Vi tillhandahåller geologisk information för samhällets behov på kort och lång sikt. SGU sorterar under Klimat- och näringslivsdepartementet. Vår vision är att Sverige har en hållbar samhällsutveckling, att mark och vattenområden används och utvecklas för de ändamål de är bäst lämpade samt att mineralnäringen och andra naturresursbranscher är livskraftiga och ansvarstagande. SGU har idag cirka 300 anställda varav merparten arbetar i Uppsala. Övriga är stationerade på kontoren i Lund, Göteborg, Malå och Luleå. Läs mer på www.sgu.se
