About the Role
Do you want a meaningful job where you get to contribute to making a real difference for both society and the energy transition? With us, you are part of a socially important operation with exciting projects, cutting-edge technology and colleagues who value each other.
We are now looking for several experienced Automation and Communication Engineers who want to help build the maintenance operations of the future!
We are facing one of Vattenfall Electricity Distribution's largest investments ever – a historic consolidation of effort to build a stronger, more resilient and completely independent capacity within maintenance and repairs. At a time when the world is placing increasingly higher demands on robustness and durability, we are taking decisive steps to secure an electricity grid that can handle difficult conditions and deliver when it matters most.
Responsibilities and Tasks
We are now looking for Automation and Communication Engineers who want to strengthen our technical department. We offer you independent and responsible work where you help ensure reliable and modern infrastructure in our facilities throughout the country. Here you will have good opportunities for both technical deepening and personal development in the role.
In the Technology & Control Systems Department, approximately 50 engineers work with specialist expertise in automation, communication, control equipment and design. Here you will meet colleagues who are passionate about technology, enjoy sharing their knowledge and take great responsibility for both quality and safety.

Be involved in developing designs, procuring materials, construction, implementation, installation and commissioning
Manage supplier and contractor contacts
Our work sometimes takes place in environments involving heights and potential hazards, which is why safety and risk awareness are always at the center. At the same time, our daily work is characterized by collaboration, problem-solving and the opportunity to work close to the technology that keeps Sweden's electricity grid running. Travel is a natural part of the work, mostly during the day but overnight trips occur.
Requirements Specification
Our approach is characterized by freedom with responsibility and as a person you are therefore driven by taking on challenges, solving problems and achieving set goals. Since you will have contact with both internal and external contacts, we are looking for someone who is service-oriented and enjoys working both independently and in close collaboration with colleagues.
In addition to your personal qualities, we would like you to have:
Education in telecommunications, automation or electrical power, or alternatively equivalent practical experience that the employer deems equivalent
A few years of experience working in telecommunications, automation or electrical power
