Job description

We at AFRY's Machinery Safety and Health & Safety/HSE Capability Cluster work cross-organizationally within AFRY and support with our specialist knowledge. Through collaboration, we contribute to creating safe and sustainable solutions for our clients. We are now looking for you to strengthen our team with your expertise in machine safety.

Do you want to work with different industries and appreciate variety in your work? Do you want to work with the whole world but at the same time have a secure connection in a wonderful team with other specialists where everyone contributes with valuable skills, experience and joy? Then keep reading because we are looking for you! Our customers are in most industrial sectors and they need our support when they invest in new technology, develop new products or need to ensure that they meet national and international safety requirements.

We offer you a position with a lot of freedom under responsibility, where you are a driving force in your daily work and will both carry out and lead assignments for our customers. The assignments vary and your role may include:

  • Acting as a risk assessment leader where you use, among other things, our own software solutions such as ZERT RM, which you will also help to further develop.
  • Be a support in the implementation of the certification process, from risk identification, risk assessment, risk reduction and documentation to commissioning.
  • Work with functional safety in the form of specifications, verification calculations and validation protocols of protective devices.
  • Work with technical documentation such as technical protocols, operating instructions and safety layouts, etc.
  • Act as an expert advisor for applicable regulations, directives and applicable standards

You are expected to be able to plan your own tasks and be a driving force in the daily work. Furthermore, you need to have good collaboration skills and be able to work with great accuracy and responsibility.

The location is either Uppsala, Gävle, Västerås, Falun or Borlänge.

Qualifications

As a person, you have the ability to engage and communicate in a prestigious and positive way while being trustworthy and able to quickly familiarize yourself with new environments, industries and products. You are looking for a job that is varied, challenging, fun and requires drive!

We place great emphasis on personal qualities and want you to have the ability to communicate your knowledge and insights in an educational way to different parts of an organization. You are independent but also a team player who is passionate about technology and is interested in building relationships both internally and externally and is happy to share your knowledge.

We believe that you have a university or civil engineering degree, but of course it is not a requirement. However, we would like to see that you have at least 3 years of practical experience of work from similar roles where you have worked with risk assessments, CE marking of machines, products and / or equipment, are well versed in current legal requirements and applicable standards. If you also have experience of ATEX, electrical/system safety or are certified in machine safety (CECE, CMSE or CEFS), it is meritorious.

The position requires that you master both Swedish and English, both in speech and writing, and that you have a B driving license.
