AxÖ Consulting AB · plný úvazek

Dammbrovägen 5, Karlskoga, Švédsko

The Project Office at W5 Solutions is continuing to grow. We are now seeking two senior project managers who want to take responsibility for technically advanced projects. Depending on your experience, you may lead several smaller development projects or be responsible for larger, business-driven projects with international end customers. W5 Solutions develops and delivers advanced systems within power supply and simulation to customers in the defense and government sectors. Virtually all of our projects are customer-unique and based on the customer's needs. Every delivery must work in practice, in reality, and over time. "We have recently welcomed a new colleague and are now seeking two additional project managers. We have many projects underway and more coming in. Therefore, we are strengthening the organization with technically skilled project managers who enjoy driving and leading an engaged team while maintaining close dialogue with the customer. Here you get a broad and complex role that encompasses both technical problem-solving and a clear business focus," says Niklas Sjödén, Project Manager. Your Future Challenge Within Power, approximately 130 employees work, where development, production, testing, and final delivery are located close to each other. This creates short decision paths but also demands clear leadership in projects. As a senior project manager, you are responsible for the implementation of customer projects in areas such as power plants, battery and charging systems, and simulator solutions. The scope of assignments varies. You can drive several smaller product development projects in parallel or lead a larger project with extensive commercial responsibility with international end customers. Regardless of project size, you lead cross-functional teams with expertise in mechanics, electrical, electronics, software, testing, technical documentation, production technology, and procurement. You create momentum, handle technical and commercial issues, and ensure that the team has the right conditions to reach the project's goals. "You need to be able to move between details and the big picture. One moment you're discussing a technical solution with the engineers, the next you're reviewing finances, risks, or delivery with the customer. You hold the project together and ensure that decisions are made and activities are carried out," Niklas continues. Full Responsibility from Start to Delivery The role involves clear commercial responsibility. You actively work with budget monitoring, forecasts, and margins. At the same time, you are a natural coordinator internally, the one who creates structure, prioritizes, and keeps everything together as complexity increases. This is a role for you who want to combine project management with strong technical engagement. "At W5, you work close to development and need to have the ability to understand technical issues, dialogue with engineers and specialists, and actively drive solutions forward. So you don't just lead the project – you are an active part of the development," Niklas concludes. Do you want to take responsibility for projects where technology, business, and delivery need to work together? Then we hope you'll submit your application! Examples of Work Tasks: Lead and implement technically advanced customer projects from start to finish. Ensure that projects are delivered according to requirements, schedule, and quality. Handle budget, forecasts, resources, and financial monitoring. Lead cross-functional teams within development, procurement, production, and testing. Identify and manage technical, commercial, and operational risks. Create momentum through clear priorities, decisions, and follow-up. Contribute to the development of project methodology, processes, and working methods. Maintain close and professional dialogue with customers and other stakeholders. We are looking for someone who has: Several years of experience leading technical projects in a manufacturing or technology-oriented business. Experience taking overall responsibility for delivery, finances, and customer relations. Post-secondary education in electrical, electronics, mechanics, or equivalent. Very good ability to communicate in Swedish and English. Class B driver's license, as business travel may occur. It is advantageous if you have experience from the defense industry or work with complex systems, for example containing advanced electrical and electronics solutions. We are looking for someone who is self-driven and organized, with the ability to build trust both internally and externally. You thrive in an environment where technology and business go hand in hand, and where delivery is always the highest priority. What We Offer At W5, the entire chain is driven – from development and verification to documentation and support. This gives you the opportunity to follow the technology closely, understand the big picture, and make well-founded decisions together with the project team. Your technical understanding becomes an important part of balancing requirements, functionality, time, and resources and ensuring that the project reaches the right solution. You often manage several parallel projects and work in an international context, with both national and global customers. For you who thrive in the intersection of technology and project management, W5 offers a role with great responsibility, technical complexity, and the opportunity to make an impact – where you get to use both your project management skills and your technical expertise.
