About the Role
Do you want a meaningful job where you can 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 one another.
Now we are seeking several experienced Control System Engineers who want to help build the maintenance operations of the future!
We are facing one of Vattenfall Eldistribution's largest initiatives ever – a historic consolidation to build a stronger, more resilient, and completely self-sufficient capability within maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair. At a time when the world is placing increasingly higher demands on robustness and durability, we are taking decisive steps to ensure an electricity grid that can handle difficult conditions and deliver when it matters most.
Responsibilities and Tasks
As a Control System Engineer, you will be part of our engineering department, a competence-driven part of Vattenfall Eldistribution with approximately 50 engineers across the country.

Your main responsibilities:
Maintenance testing
Commissioning, configuration, and testing of control systems
Troubleshooting and relay changes

A post-secondary education in electrical power or equivalent professional experience in electrical power
Several years of experience working with control systems/testing within the voltage range 0.4-400kV
