As a technical assessor you are included in an assessor team and examines specific tasks related to accreditation. The work is performed on a consultancy basis and usually includes a number of assignments each year.
During the term of agreement, a technical assessor is not allowed to engage in any activity that could challenge his/her impartiality. For this reason, the assessor reports all his/her other assignments to Swedac.
Swedac normally recruits technical assessors through public procurement and right now there is an ongoing procurement of technical assessors.
In certain areas of expertise, however, demand is so great that there might be a need for technical assessors at times other than at procurement opportunities. Anyone who is interested in working as technical assessor can submit an expression of interest to Swedac.
