Job description
Do you want to lead technology projects that strengthen Sweden's security and future defense capability?
Being a project manager in the defense industry means stepping into some of Sweden's most advanced and socially important technology environments. At AFRY, you get to lead development projects spanning aerospace, marine systems, ground platforms, sensor technology and complex safety-critical systems. Here, development is not just about technology - but about creating robust solutions that contribute directly to Sweden's defense capability, preparedness and resilience.
As a project manager, you will be the hub of a cross-functional team consisting of experts in electronics, embedded, mechanics, system architecture and testing. You hold the whole together: requirements, system understanding, risk management, time management, technical dependencies and quality assurance. The role involves close contact with both technical specialists and the business side, where you help create structure, direction and conditions for the development team to deliver.
Our projects are characterized by long life cycles, clear processes, safety standards and cutting-edge technology. Many people find defense projects to be among the most meaningful and technically interesting things to work on. You will work either at a customer site in Stockholm or as part of our in-house team in Solna.
