HR Manager

Imagine a Piteå where the tap water stops flowing, where trash isn’t collected, and where the sewer system grinds to a halt. Only then does it become clear just how vital these essential services are—and who ensures they keep running, every day, around the clock. At Pireva, this is reality. Here, over 100 employees work to deliver clean drinking water, treat wastewater, and manage waste for the entire municipality of Piteå. With an extensive pipeline network, multiple facilities, and a clear focus on sustainability, the business is a cornerstone of a functioning society. But behind every liter of water and every emptied waste bin lies something even more important—the people who make it all work. Expertise, dedication, and a strong culture are crucial to success, today and in the future. Read more at www.pireva.se
