Explanation:
Or something in that vein.
The suffix "ansvarig" is very common, eg, ekonomiansvarig, förrådsansvarig, transportansvarig. I sometimes wonder whether it means that everyone else in the vicinity is not responsible. But no, it is a way of not really saying who is the boss, foreman, supervisor or manager and still giving a vague indication of who to turn to.
