We are now looking for several experienced Automation and Communications Engineers who want to be part of building the future maintenance operation!
We are facing one of Vattenfall Eldistribution's largest initiatives ever – a historic effort to build a stronger, more resilient and completely independent capability within maintenance and repairs.
