Job description

Do you want to take the next step in your career where you get to combine technology with leadership?"

Afry Hydro is in a strong growth phase and is now looking for you who want to develop as a group manager with us.

At Hydro, we are today 100 consultants in Sweden and over 700 engineers globally who together drive the development of hydropower - from dams and dam safety to geotechnics, hydromechanics, hydraulics, environment and power station. We work in project teams to solve customers' challenges, both in national and international projects. Our business is growing steadily and we continue to expand as a Nordic player. To strengthen our organization, we are now looking for you who want to join our growth journey and build, develop and lead teams.

As a group manager, you will have a key role in our organization while helping to improve the conditions for Sweden's hydropower production. You will lead a group of dedicated engineers and be responsible for creating the right conditions for both individual and group development. The role includes personnel responsibility where you support, coach and develop employees, resource planning and recruitment. Your role also includes business development where you participate in tender work, customer dialogs and sales. Project work together with your team is also a natural part of the role as we see it as an advantage that you also work closely with your team, which gives both a participation in the business and a great opportunity to develop and influence in the daily work. The scope of project work varies with the role, over time and your preferences.

You will work in close collaboration with other managers in the Nordics. We are a supportive team that helps both each other and our customers to develop. In this role, you will have great scope to create, shape and influence, both the development of your group and Hydro's continued growth.

Qualifications

We attach great importance to your personal qualities and your potential to develop with us. You are used to taking on a lot of responsibility and thrive and grow when faced with new challenges. You don't need to know everything but are happy to try new ideas. You thrive on creating and building, and courageously working on development, expansion and new collaborations. Equally important for the role is that you value building trusting relationships and collaborations both internally and externally, and creating successful and prosperous teams.

Furthermore, we see that you have the following knowledge and experience:

• High school degree or similar post-secondary education
• At least 4 years of work experience from hydropower / dams
• Experience from a leading role as a manager, project manager, project manager or equivalent
• Good knowledge of Swedish and English

We see it as meritorious if you have:

• Experience of work in either mechanical engineering, dam safety, power station, hydraulics, generator, turbine, electrical and control plant or construction/plant with experience of dam safety/power stations
• Experience of work with profit and personnel responsibility
• Experience from the consulting or contracting industry
