About the Role
Do you want a meaningful job where you get to contribute to making a real difference both for 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 Communications Engineers who want to be part of building the maintenance operations of the future!
We are facing one of Vattenfall Eldistribution's largest investments ever – a historic mobilization to build stronger, more resilient, and completely independent capacity within maintenance and repair. At a time when the world is demanding ever greater robustness and durability, we are taking decisive steps to ensure an electricity grid that can withstand difficult conditions and deliver when needed most.
Responsibilities and Tasks
We are now looking for Automation and Communications Engineers who want to strengthen our technology 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 specialization and personal development in the role.
In the Technology & Control Systems Department, approximately 50 engineers work with specialist expertise in automation, communications, 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.
Your Role as Automation and Communications Engineer
Participate in preventive maintenance and troubleshooting of automation and communications equipment
Participate in projects involving renovation and new construction of automation and communications solutions and ensure implementation of new, ongoing projects in the area
Be involved in developing design, purchasing materials, construction, implementation, installation, and commissioning
Manage supplier and contractor contacts
Our work takes place in environments that sometimes involve 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 also occur.
Requirements Specification
Our way of working is characterized by freedom with responsibility, and as a person you are therefore driven by taking on challenges, solving problems, and reaching 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 equivalent practical experience that the employer deems equivalent
Several years of experience working with telecommunications, automation, or electrical power
Experience with technology such as fiber optics and radio-based communications, for example 4G and radio links, station bus-based networks according to the IEC61850 standard, and IP-based networks
You communicate easily in both Swedish and English, both in writing and verbally. A class B driver's license is required.
Additional qualifications we value:
Experience from the electricity sector
Experience of previously leading projects or work, preferably as a project manager, or alternatively work experience as a coordinator in the industry
Practical experience with working with and configuring remote control and control equipment, such as RTUs and protective relays
