About the Role

You’ll be part of a close-knit team of process engineers and project managers who work closely with our clients in food manufacturing. The role is based at our office in Malmö and is characterized by close collaboration within the team and, when necessary, with other parts of the business.

In the role of Process Engineer, you will primarily work on turnkey projects, either independently or under the client’s direction, which involves:

  • Designing parts of or entire processes
  • Planning, technical specifications, and documentation
  • Purchasing materials
  • FAT and SAT

You will also have the opportunity to work on:

  • Concept studies
  • Process optimizations

Qualifications

We are looking for someone with experience in this field who wants to continue developing their skills in process design in the food industry. You enjoy working with others and are happy to share your experience and knowledge.

Requirements:

  • Technical education at the college level or equivalent experience gained through professional work
  • At least 1–3 years of experience as a process engineer in the food sector (we are also open to candidates with substantial senior-level experience and can offer the right challenges)
  • Experience drawing in AutoCAD (PID)
  • Very good knowledge of Swedish and good knowledge of English, both spoken and written
  • Class B driver’s license
  • The position requires physical presence at the customer’s site, and overnight travel is a natural part of the role.

Desirable:

  • Experience with liquid foods, preferably dairy
  • Experience with Plant 3D for liquid foods
  • Interest in and experience with commissioning

For us, the most important thing is to find a colleague who we believe will thrive and succeed with us. Our culture is characterized by a forward-thinking mindset, team spirit, and commitment. We believe you value business, technology, and social interaction—all of which will help you feel at home at AFRY.

We offer structured development plans, courses, and certifications that give you the opportunity to grow both professionally and personally. We actively promote diversity and are convinced that different perspectives make us stronger and more innovative.

AFRY is consistently ranked as one of Sweden’s most attractive employers—perhaps because we invest just as much in our employees as we do in our clients.
