Job Description

Would you like to work on technically advanced industrial projects and be involved from concept to completed facility? We are now looking for a senior electrical design engineer who wants to play a key role in our projects and contribute both technical expertise and a strong commitment to sustainable solutions.

As an Electrical Design Engineer at AFRY, you’ll work across the entire electrical design process for industrial projects. You will be responsible for developing electrical documentation, circuit diagrams, cable and connection lists, and material specifications using tools such as EPLAN or Elprocad. The role involves close collaboration with automation engineers, project managers, and clients to ensure that the solutions meet both technical requirements and business needs.

You will lead the electrical design work from preliminary studies and concept development through to final delivery and commissioning. The work is varied and may include new construction, renovation, and modernization of production and process facilities across several different industrial segments.

As a key member of the project team, you will provide technical guidance, quality assurance, and structure throughout the entire project implementation. You will primarily work from our office in Kalmar or on-site at the client’s location, with the possibility of some remote work depending on the nature of the assignment.

At AFRY, you’ll have access to a strong network of specialists and colleagues with broad experience in industry, automation, and electrical design. We offer an environment where knowledge sharing, collaboration, and professional development are a natural part of everyday life.

For those looking to advance their careers, there are excellent opportunities to deepen your expertise in electrical design and industrial control systems. You can also grow into roles such as systems engineer, technical specialist, or project manager, depending on your ambitions and interests.

Some assignments may require a security clearance, which means that the role may in the future involve work on security-classified projects.

Qualifications

To succeed in the role of “electrical designer”you need a problem-solving mindset that allows you to quickly identify the causes of problems in complex electrical designs, analyze various solution options, and choose the most effective path forward. You are business-minded and structured, which means you plan and organize your work with attention to detail in drawings and documentation, and ensure that the project adheres to agreed-upon requirements, timelines, and budgets. The role also requires that you be ambitious—you take responsibility for driving tasks forward, actively seek improvements, and stay up to date on new technology. Finally, it is important that you are a team player who collaborates closely with colleagues and clients, shares knowledge, and contributes to a positive work environment.
