Working at Sweco

Do you want your work to make a difference?

Then Sweco is the place to be. At Sweco, there is no distant future –  we are helping shape it now. From clean water and warm homes to efficient transport and modern hospitals, we work to make what society needs today part of tomorrow. Success depends on close collaboration with our clients and a deep understanding of their needs. A typical Sweco employee is approachable, committed to clients and recognised for their expertise.

Creating tomorrow, today

It is constantly evolving: more people join, new needs emerge, and new ideas and innovations take shape. By working closely with our clients, we combine different skills and perspectives to create meaningful change with tangible results.

Trusted to make an impact

We are trusted to make decisions, take action and make a difference – and that trust helps us grow. We hold each other accountable, but we also know that responsibility must come with support. When needed, there is always someone ready to lend a hand.

This is what makes us greater together.

Attracting talent

The key to attracting future talent is to offer a workplace that is both attractive and challenging. Our role in shaping sustainable communities and cities of the future allows us to create an environment where people can deliver meaningful results through their work. With high client expectations and colleagues with broad and deep expertise, we offer an inspiring and stimulating workplace. From early on, our consultants are given real responsibility and work directly with clients. For Sweco, it is essential to emphasise employee development, results, expertise, knowledge sharing and leadership. We actively engage with experienced consultants, students and universities to strengthen our position as a workplace of choice.

We build the next generation of leaders

Sweco is a place where leadership can grow. We believe that identifying leadership potential and giving people the opportunity to succeed is an important part of our culture. Through training, small teams and client-focused projects, our consultants are given the autonomy and responsibility to develop quickly and take on more as they grow. Just as importantly, we are supported by inspirational leaders who help others thrive. In 2025, 82 per cent of employees said they have an excellent manager.

Greater together

Diversity, equality and inclusion are essential to how we work and to how we continue developing our workplace and our society. They are central to our sustainability ambitions and an important part of our strategy. We believe that we create the best solutions when people with different backgrounds, perspectives and ideas come together. Recruiting the best talent and reflecting the communities we serve are important to Sweco. A workplace built on equality, diversity and mutual respect helps us innovate, collaborate and deliver better results.
