An arbetsmiljöingenjör, often translated as occupational environment engineer or work environment engineer, is a professional in Sweden focused on improving the health, safety, and well-being of employees in the workplace. Their primary role is to identify, assess, and manage risks and hazards within an organization's working environment.

They also play a crucial role in ensuring compliance with relevant legislation and regulations pertaining to occupational health and safety. This can include developing and implementing safety procedures, providing training to employees on safe work practices, and investigating accidents or incidents to prevent their recurrence. Collaboration is a key aspect of their work, as they often work closely with employers, employees, safety representatives, and other stakeholders to create a safer and healthier work environment.
