Job Description

AFRY Automation continues to grow, and we need more automation engineers at our beautiful new office in Kristianstad—we hope you’re the one we’re looking for!

As an automation engineer at AFRY, you’ll have the opportunity to work on interesting projects for a variety of industries and clients. With us, you’ll work with PLC programming, HMI programming, and SCADA systems; perform system commissioning; troubleshoot issues; and lead subprojects.

Our business is largely focused on clients in the water and wastewater, gas, and industrial sectors. You will primarily work on various projects from our office, but you will also carry out assignments at client sites, which are mainly located in eastern Skåne but also just outside the region.

The team consists of knowledgeable and dedicated colleagues, and sharing experience and knowledge is a strong part of our culture. We enjoy learning from one another and organizing fun activities together to foster a great sense of community and celebrate our successes. With us, you’ll be part of a team that works from the concept stage through to project completion and the finished industrial facility. We collaborate with colleagues in other regions and technical fields, which gives you fantastic opportunities to see what AFRY has to offer in terms of your own professional development. 

Qualifications

We’re looking for someone who combines strong analytical skills with a solution-oriented and detail-oriented work style. You take the initiative and thrive when working both independently and as part of a team.

You are attentive to the needs of others and are eager to share your knowledge to support and guide younger colleagues.

In terms of experience, you fit the following description:

• Many years of professional experience as an automation engineer or in a similar role. It is advantageous if you have worked with commissioning as well as PLC, HMI, or SCADA in the water/sewer, gas, or industrial sectors.
• Relevant education in the field or equivalent work experience. 
• A Class B driver’s license is required, as travel is a regular part of your role.
• Excellent proficiency in both spoken and written Swedish and English, as you will use both languages daily in this position.

Additional Information

We offer you a flexible work environment and a high degree of autonomy, as we understand that everyone’s life is different. That said, there is also the option to work from home whenever you want or need to, provided it fits with business operations. At AFRY, we share a strong culture characterized by knowledge sharing and professional development through internal and external training programs as well as individual development plans.

In addition, we offer:

• Collective bargaining agreement
• Generous annual wellness allowance and occupational health services
• Employer-sponsored pension
