Länsstyrelsen i Södermanlands län • Sweden • Added on Nov 5, 2026
Apply →

As Klimat- och energistrateg, you will help turn Södermanland’s regional climate and energy strategy into coordinated action. The role focuses on delivering measures in the strategy and its electrification action plan, with planning, follow-up and collaboration across regional projects and networks at its core.

The work connects regional climate goals with practical choices in transport, energy systems and preparedness, circular economy and land use. By bringing public bodies and other local and regional actors together, the strategist helps align efforts with national policy while accounting for the county’s specific conditions. This is a coordination and analysis role within a broader public-sector sustainability programme.

This suits someone with experience in strategic energy and climate work in a public authority, municipality or region, who can see connections across policy areas, structure work independently and communicate clearly in Swedish.

The stated profile calls for relevant university-level education, preferably in energy and climate strategy, alongside experience in strategic climate and energy work within a county administrative board or another public body.

Advice to stand out and make a successful application

Show how your strategic energy and climate work has led to coordinated action, particularly in a public-sector setting. Use specific examples of plans or measures you helped deliver, how you tracked progress, and which regional actors you brought together. Relate your experience to the strategy’s breadth: electrification, transport, energy systems, preparedness, circular economy and land use. If you have led networks or processes, explain your contribution and the outcome. The application is a public document, so consider carefully which personal information and supporting materials you include.

What aspects of the company's sustainability is this role likely to focus on?

Its scope includes transport transition, energy systems and preparedness, circular economy and land use. The strategist may also contribute to work on charging infrastructure, climate investment support and regional environmental objectives. The job describes coordination and policy implementation rather than direct ownership of the agency’s own emissions targets.

What are the main challenges someone in this role might face?

A likely challenge is coordinating actors with different mandates, priorities and resources while keeping regional measures aligned with national climate and energy goals. The strategy spans several policy areas, so the role also requires a broad view and clear prioritization. Planning and following up progress across projects and networks may involve varied timelines and sources of information. The strategist will need to build shared understanding without having direct authority over every participating organization.

A day could include reviewing progress on strategy measures, preparing follow-up or analysis, and coordinating with colleagues working across climate and energy topics. The strategist may also plan a network meeting or project activity with regional partners. Work is likely to vary with project schedules and stakeholder needs.

The posting does not state a defined promotion route or formal development plan.

The main stakeholders you might be interacting with

Close collaborators include the climate and energy working group and the wider Regional Development unit. The posting identifies cooperation with other county administrative boards, Region Sörmland and Energikontoret i Mälardalen.
