About the Role
Would you like a meaningful job where you can make 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 each other.
We are now seeking several experienced Electrical Design 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 mobilization to build stronger, more resilient, and entirely in-house capabilities within 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 secure an electricity grid that can handle difficult conditions and deliver when it matters most.
About the Role
As an Electrical Design Engineer with a focus on substations and control equipment, you are a key person in our reinvestment projects within the electricity grid 0.4–400 kV. You drive the design from requirements and technical decisions through to detailed design, procurement documents, and complete documentation. The work is conducted primarily together with our own maintenance organization, which means you maintain close dialogue with those who will build, test, and manage the facility. In this role you also ensure that working environment and safety considerations are taken into account at all stages from design choices and work planning through implementation and handover.
Your main tasks and areas of responsibility:
Prepare and quality-assure design documentation (single-line diagrams, circuit diagrams, connection tables, assembly instructions, and layouts/cabinet layouts)
Develop technical descriptions and documentation and provide technical support during implementation
Ensure that the design meets requirements, standards, and internal guidelines, and contribute to technical decisions and solution discussions
Drive the documentation through to handover, including updates and as-built documentation after construction/commissioning
Coordinate and set requirements with contractors/suppliers in the parts of projects where external resources are used
As needed, work with protective relays/IED and communication in the substation environment, such as IEC 61850, and support related to substation networks
Requirement Specification
We are looking for someone who is analytical and enjoys working with complex technical issues. You have good collaboration skills, like to share your knowledge, and contribute to the team as a whole. At the same time, you are responsible, drive your tasks to completion, and are comfortable asking for support when needed.
We would like to see that you have:
Post-secondary education in electrical power/electrical engineering (university/master's degree) or equivalent experience-based competence
Experience with electrical design in a project environment
Experience preparing design documentation: single-line diagrams, circuit diagrams, connection tables, assembly instructions, and layouts/cabinet layouts
Good CAD skills
Structured and quality-conscious, takes responsibility for technical deliverables and enjoys collaborating with many stakeholders
Excellent Swedish language skills, both spoken and written
Class B driving license
Meritorious:
Experience with distribution projects/substation and control facilities
Protective relays/IED and IEC 61850 (configuration/testing, e.g., SCD/GOOSE/MMS where relevant)
Experience with testing/commissioning/troubleshooting of control systems
Experience with procurement documentation and technical support during procurement
Experience preparing as-built documentation and finalizing documentation after construction
