Remarks

There is a lot of communication done verbally with different departments, hence being able to speak comprehensively in Swedish is crucial. Also, since English is the corporate language this is also needed for training and communication.

There are very limited possibilities to commute by using trains and busses regionally – does not align with the shift schedules very well any more. You either need your own transportation or live nearby during the weeks.
