Job Description
As an automation engineer at AFRY, you will work with programming, configuration, and commissioning of control systems in industrial projects. The role involves developing solutions in PLC and SCADA systems, primarily in Siemens TIA Portal and ABB 800xA, and participating in testing and commissioning. You will be an important part of the project team, responsible for the automation components, which requires close collaboration with electrical engineers and project managers. Work takes place primarily at AFRY's office in Kalmar or at the client's site, with some possibility for remote work.
We expect you to drive the programming work from concept to finished solution and contribute your expertise to ensure the project delivers according to requirements and schedule. You will receive support from your manager and colleagues, as well as access to AFRY's broad network of specialists. In the long term, there are good development opportunities – for example, to deepen your knowledge in advanced programming, take on the role of systems engineer or project manager, and develop as a consultant with a holistic perspective in customer projects.
Some assignments may require security clearance, which means the role may involve security-classified projects in the future.
Qualifications
To succeed in the role of automation engineer, you need a problem-solving approach where you can quickly identify causes of problems in complex control systems, analyze different solution alternatives, and choose the most effective way forward. You are business-minded and structured, which means you plan and organize your work with order in code and documentation, and ensure that the project follows agreed requirements, schedule, and budget. The role also requires that you are ambitious – you take responsibility for driving tasks forward, actively seek improvements, and stay updated on new technology. Finally, it is important that you are a team player who collaborates closely with colleagues and clients, shares knowledge, and contributes to a good work environment.
Requirements
Experience in programming within industry (manufacturing/process/food) as well as commissioning and troubleshooting.
At least upper secondary vocational education in automation or equivalent experience
System knowledge: Siemens TIA Portal and/or ABB 800xA
Swedish and English at professional level in speech and writing

Knowledge of HMI/SCADA systems
System knowledge: ABB SattLine, AVEVA System Platform, etc.
