We work in electricity trading, power grids, district heating networks, district heating, and recycling – and together we drive development toward a safe and sustainable energy supply with care for both people and the environment. Our core values of responsibility, courage, and care permeate everything we do. Whether you're an engineer, technician, sales professional, or project manager, you become an important part of something larger. As an employer, we offer excellent opportunities to influence your daily work and develop in your professional role. You receive, among other things, vacation flexibility, reduced working hours, a generous wellness allowance, gym access, and shared activities that strengthen both health and community. Here you will grow, be challenged, and make a real difference – in Värmland's largest municipal company. Welcome to Karlstads Energi! Description Want to help build the power grid that will support Karlstad's future? Karlstad is growing and the community's electricity needs are changing rapidly. At Karlstads Energi, we are in the midst of exciting development where we are investing heavily in the grid of the future. We are expanding and strengthening the regional network with, among other things, new 130 kV installations and receiving stations – investments that create the conditions for new residential areas, businesses, industry, and a growing Karlstad. Now we are looking for a senior project manager who wants to take a central role in that development. You lead complex investment projects through the entire project lifecycle – from early feasibility studies and investigations to design, implementation, and completed facility. You lead project organizations, coordinate expertise, and drive progress together with contractors, consultants, authorities, landowners, and other stakeholders. It is a role where technology, societal benefit, and people come together. You create structure and direction, build trust, and get different expertise and perspectives to work toward the same goal. Here you have the opportunity to make a real impact – and drive projects that build the infrastructure Karlstad needs for many years to come. Responsibilities In your role as senior project manager, you are responsible for leading some of our larger investment projects within the regional network, with a focus on, among other things, 130 kV installations and receiving stations. The assignment involves holding together the project's entirety and driving progress through the entire process – from early investigations and design to implementation and completed facility. The work includes technical investigations, design, procurement and contracts, as well as monitoring of schedule, budget, quality, environment, and occupational health and safety. An important part of the role is to build and coordinate project organizations where internal specialists and external actors work together toward the same goal. Through structure, clear communication, and confident leadership, the right conditions are created for projects to succeed. The role also involves many and varied contact points. Karlstads Energi is represented in dialogue with, among others, authorities, municipality, landowners, contractors, and other stakeholders. Project status, budget, risks, and progress are communicated continuously to management and the board in a clear, relevant, and transparent manner. Qualifications For this role, we are seeking an experienced project manager with a background in power, energy supply, or other complex infrastructure. Experience leading major projects with many dependencies, actors, and stakeholders is important, as is confidence in matters relating to budget, schedules, procurement, contracts, and regulatory contacts. A relevant university or civil engineering degree in, for example, power, energy, or electrical engineering is desirable, but equivalent experience may also be relevant. Experience from regional networks, receiving stations, switchyards, or other high-voltage installations is particularly meriting. Experience with 130 kV, ESA, BAS-P/BAS-U, LOU, or work in municipal operations is also a plus. For us, the ability to lead is just as important as technical competence. We are therefore looking for a confident and experienced project manager who can provide direction in complex situations and bring people along. The ability to communicate well, make complex issues understandable, and adapt communication to different audiences is central to the role. A pedagogical, clear, and transparent approach combined with the ability to build trust and create good collaborations – from technical specialists and contractors to management and the board. Structure, drive, and a strong holistic perspective are important qualities, as is the ability to maintain direction even when circumstances change. As an employee, you will be part of Karlstads Energi's crisis and war organization. Upon hiring, mandatory alcohol and drug testing will be conducted, and valid identification must be presented at the interview. A probationary period may apply. Good Swedish and English in speech and writing, as well as a B driver's license, are required. At Karlstads Energi, it's not just the next project that awaits – here you have the opportunity to help shape the energy infrastructure that Karlstad needs for the future.
