Company Profile

AFRY offers services in engineering, design, digitalization, and consulting. We are dedicated experts in industry, energy, and infrastructure, creating value for future generations. AFRY has a global reach with deep roots in the Nordic region. Together, we are accelerating the transition to a more sustainable society.

Job Description

Would you like to be part of a community of engineers with varying levels of experience and specializations, where leadership and the desire to do something exciting in your career are common traits? Then our team is the one you’re looking for! You’ll be part of a group that’s constantly striving to improve and have fun together.

In your role as a project manager with us, you’ll create value by leading projects of varying sizes and complexities for some of the market’s most exciting technology companies. Your task is to support our clients in the defense, automotive, energy, process, and manufacturing sectors with everything from production investment projects to product development or industrialization projects.

As a project manager with us, you will develop and strengthen your ability to organize, prioritize, and solve complex problems. You will be responsible for driving the project forward and ensuring that goals are met on time and within budget. Your leadership and your ability to communicate clearly and effectively will be key factors in the project’s success.

Today, we are a group of project managers with 0 to 25 years of experience in leadership roles within the industry. We offer you the opportunity to grow in a modern workplace with challenging tasks and exciting projects. You’ll have the privilege of being surrounded by skilled colleagues who are happy to share their experience and knowledge.

We also believe that a good work-life balance is important. Assignments are primarily at our clients’ sites, which are located between Södertälje and Uppsala, or alternatively at our own offices or remotely. We constantly receive requests to assist clients throughout Sweden, so it is advantageous if you are willing to take on assignments in other locations.

Qualifications

We are looking for someone with 5–10 years of experience in project management within the industrial sector, preferably in production or product development. You are a trained engineer, and experience with projects in various industries—such as automotive, defense, energy, or similar fields—is a plus. We currently have many interesting opportunities in the defense industry, so experience specifically in that field is considered a significant advantage. 

As a person, you have the ability to foster a sense of security, commitment, and success within your projects. You’re driven by solving challenges together with others, and you always go the extra mile. You are positive, results-oriented, and enjoy working with others.

If you are certified in any of the following frameworks and areas—PMP, IPMA, PRINCE2, Agile, or similar—this is a plus, but not a requirement. If you are not already a certified project manager, you will have the opportunity to become one with us.

Applicants must have a good command of Swedish and English, both spoken and written.

To be eligible for this position, only Swedish citizenship is accepted. You may be required to undergo a security clearance process in accordance with the Security Protection Act.
