Limnolog - Lediga jobb

Vill du ha meningsfulla arbetsuppgifter som gör skillnad i människors liv? Välkommen till kommunen som är långt ifrån lagom!

Samhällsbyggnadsförvaltningen förvaltar och utvecklar både stad och landsbygd inom kommunen. Vi har det samlade ansvaret för att planera och skapa de fysiska, juridiska och affärsmässiga förutsättningarna för en trygg och god livsmiljö i Botkyrka. Våra 125 medarbetare arbetar för att möjliggöra för ett bra boende och en attraktiv närmiljö oavsett var i livet man befinner sig.

Tjänsten och arbetsuppgifterna

Vill du vara med och utveckla ett hållbart samhälle och bidra till insatser som gör skillnad för både natur och människor? Botkyrka kommun söker en kommunbiolog till Naturmiljöenheten. Botkyrka är en kommun med stora naturvärden, flera naturreservat, ett rikt odlingslandskap och en hög biologisk mångfald. Naturmiljöenheten bidrar starkt till kommunens samlade natur- och miljökompetens. Vi arbetar med natur- och vattenvård, miljöövervakning, miljöfrågor i fysisk planering, förvaltning av kommunens skogar och reservat och undervisning om naturvetenskap med vår rullande naturskoleverksamhet samt energirådgivning.

Hos oss får du en nyckelroll där du arbetar både strategiskt och operativt med frågor som spänner från naturreservatsförvaltning och artbevarande till fysisk planering, ekologisk kompensation och klimatanpassning.

Som kommunbiolog ansvarar du för att driva, samordna och utveckla kommunens naturvårdsarbete. Du arbetar nära kollegor inom samhällsbyggnad, mark- och exploatering, parkförvaltning och miljö, samtidigt som du vid behov samverkar med markägare, myndigheter, konsulter, forskare och ideella organisationer. Du kommer att förbereda och presentera utredningar samt ta fram beslutsunderlag till nämndens sammanträden. I uppdraget ingår att sammanställa material på ett tydligt och strukturerat sätt, anpassa informationen till målgruppen samt muntligt redovisa underlag för nämndledamöter

Rollen erbjuder stor frihet under ansvar och omfattar såväl strategiskt utvecklingsarbete som projektledning, fältarbete, utredningar och rådgivning.

Dina arbetsuppgifter finns bland annat inom:

• Strategiskt naturvårdsarbete, bland annat som samordnare för kommunens naturvårdsprogram, Botkyrkas gröna värden.
• Naturreservat och naturvårdsförvaltning. T.ex. skydd av värdefull natur och arbete med ängs- och betesmarker och annan värdefull natur.
• Invasiva främmande arter, bland annat genom att samordna kommunens arbete med invasiva främmande arter genom att utveckla rutiner, riktlinjer och arbetsprocesser.
• Fysisk planering och samhällsbyggnad, i din roll som naturvårdsexpert.
• Projektledning och upphandling. T.ex. leda naturvårdsprojekt från idé till genomförande
• Samverkan och kommunikation, genom att informera och ge rådgivning till kollegor, medborgare och externa aktörer.

Tjänsten innebär ett utåtriktat arbete där du är en viktig del i att utveckla och kvalitetssäkra kommunens arbete inom naturvård. Du bidrar till att skapa tydliga och effektiva processer som stödjer verksamhetens uppdrag och beslutsfattande.

Vi erbjuder dig

På naturmiljöenheten blir du en del av ett team med elva engagerade kollegor som tillsammans arbetar för att bevara och utveckla Botkyrkas blå och gröna värden. Hos oss får du möjlighet att växa i din yrkesroll genom kontinuerlig kompetensutveckling och inspirerande interna utbildningar. Vi erbjuder en arbetsplats med flexibla arbetssätt, möjlighet till distansarbete vissa dagar och en arbetskultur där gemenskap och engagemang är centrala. Framför allt får du chansen att bidra till ett arbete som gör skillnad, både för dagens medborgare och för framtidens Botkyrka.

Hos oss får du möjlighet att utveckla ditt arbete inom naturvård i en organisation där din kompetens tas till vara. Vi arbetar aktivt med förbättringsarbete och erbjuder en arbetsmiljö som ger utrymme för engagemang och professionell utveckling.

Du som söker till oss

Vi söker dig som har en akademisk examen inom biologi, ekologi, naturvård eller motsvarande. Du har dessutom flera års erfarenhet av arbete med naturvård, biologisk mångfald eller andra ekologiska frågeställningar.

Övriga krav

• Erfarenhet av att arbeta med miljöbalken och annan relevant miljölagstiftning, särskilt inom områden som rör områdesskydd och biologisk mångfald.
• Erfarenhet av projektledning och samordning.
• Erfarenhet av att självständigt skriva rapporter, utredningar och beslutsunderlag
• Erfarenhet av att presentera och förmedla information på svenska till olika målgrupper.
• B-körkort.

Vi ser det som meriterande om du har:

• Erfarenhet från politiskt styrd verksamhet som verksamhet eller annan offentlig förvaltning.
• Erfarenhet av naturreservatsförvaltning.
• Erfarenhet av upphandling och konsultstyrning.
• Kunskaper inom GIS.
• Erfarenhet av arbete med invasiva främmande arter.
• Erfarenhet av naturvärdesinventeringar, artskydd eller ekologisk kompensation.

I rollen arbetar du samarbetsorienterat och i nära dialog med både kollegor och externa aktörer i frågor som rör naturvård, naturmiljöer och grön infrastruktur. Du har en analytisk förmåga som gör att du kan bedöma naturvärden och ta fram välgrundade underlag i ärenden kopplade till exempelvis artskydd och naturreservat.

Du är relationsskapande och bygger förtroendefulla kontakter i samverkan med olika verksamheter och intressenter, vilket är en förutsättning i det utåtriktade arbetet. Samtidigt är du lösningsorienterad och bidrar till att hantera avvägningar och hitta fungerande och långsiktiga lösningar i frågor som rör naturvård och markanvändning.

För att lyckas i rollen behöver du vara självgående, strukturerad och initiativrik. Du trivs med att kombinera strategiskt arbete med praktiskt genomförande och har lätt för att skapa goda samarbeten både internt och externt. Du är trygg i rollen som specialist och kan omsätta komplexa ekologiska frågor till tydliga beslutsunderlag och praktiska lösningar.

The University of Gothenburg tackles society's challenges with diverse knowledge. 58 000 students and 6800 employees make the university a large and inspiring place to work and study. Strong research and attractive study programmes attract researchers and students from around the world. With new knowledge and new perspectives, the University contributes to a better future.

At the Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences (BioEnv) we have teaching and research activities that stretch from the alpine ecosystem, through forests, cultivated land and streams, all the way into the marine environment. In these environments we study different levels of biological organisation from genes, individuals and populations to communities and ecosystems. We work within ecology, evolution, physiology, systematics, and combinations of these fields in order to understand the impact of natural and anthropogenic changes of the environment.

The department is placed at two different localities: in the building Natrium located on Medicinareberget in Gothenburg and Kristineberg Center in Fiskebäckskil. The current position is placed at Natrium.
