We are now seeking several experienced Station Technicians who want to be part of building the maintenance operations of the future!
We are facing one of Vattenfall Electricity Distribution's largest initiatives ever – a historic effort to build stronger, more resilient, and fully autonomous capabilities in maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair. At a time when the world is placing ever-higher demands on robustness and resilience, 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 Station Technician, you have a central role in ensuring that our electrical power installations from 0.4 to 400 kV are safe, available, and equipped for future energy needs.

Together with colleagues in operations, maintenance, and projects, you contribute to an electricity grid with high operational reliability and quality, where your technical expertise makes a real difference in daily operations, both for our installations and for society.
Your main tasks include:
Perform service, operations, maintenance, construction, and troubleshooting in stations and electrical power installations
Conduct rounds, inspections, and controls according to established maintenance programs and report deviations
Work according to ESA, EBR, and applicable safety procedures, and participate in risk assessments and work preparations
