AFRY is a leading European engineering, design and consulting company with global reach. We are 19,000 experts working for a sustainable future in infrastructure, industry, energy and digitalization.

At Advanced Automation West in Varberg and Gothenburg, we work with the market's largest customers in automation, forestry, infrastructure, paper/pulp and energy. We are a team of 60 colleagues who value collaboration and social activities within the team and through our staff club Club AFRY.

Job description

As an electrical designer with us, you will be responsible for projects in industrial operations. You will work with the design of cabinets, upgrades and new builds, as well as commissioning, system descriptions and project management in electricity. You will work with customers in the forest, process, energy and automation sectors. Here's how one of the team members describes their job:

"What I appreciate most about my job as an electrical designer at Advanced Automation in Varberg is that I learn something new every day. Working with competent colleagues in a rapidly changing environment with completely different types of customers encourages me to continue to develop. The work gives me the freedom to work independently while always having the nearest colleague just a call away. The social aspects of meeting both on and off the job are important to me as it strengthens the team spirit and we have fun together." After 25 years in the industry, it's great to come to work every day and know that the collective knowledge of the group ensures that we maximize each project where we unpretentiously coach each other forward." 

Qualifications

We are looking for you who are committed, curious and interested in technology. You have a post-secondary education in a relevant technical field, a few years of experience in electrical design, preferably in industrial automation, and good knowledge of CAD tools such as Eplan and/or ElproCad. A B driving license and very good knowledge of Swedish and English in speech and writing are also requirements. It is an advantage if you have experience of electrical cabinet design, machine safety and calculation work, as well as knowledge of dimensioning and selective plans and experience of several CAD tools.

The position may require the candidate to undergo and be approved according to the current regulations for security protection, which means that this role requires Swedish citizenship. A criminal record check and drug screening may also be required prior to appointment to the role.
