Company Description

AFRY offers services in engineering, design, digitalization, and consulting. We are dedicated experts in industry, energy, and infrastructure, and we create value for future generations. AFRY has Nordic roots with a global reach. Our shared principles—Result-driven, Client-centric, Empowering, and Accountable—guide us in how we work, develop, and succeed together.

Job Description

At AFRY Hydro Nordics, we are facing an exciting future as one of the world’s largest consulting firms in hydropower and dams. In Sweden, we currently have 120 consultants who collectively drive development in hydropower and provide services ranging from early stages—concept and feasibility studies—to execution and implementation, as well as operation and maintenance. This includes expertise across all technical fields, such as geotechnical engineering and earth-fill dams, concrete structures, rock engineering, civil engineering, hydraulics, turbine and generator technology, hydromechanical equipment, and electrical and control systems. AFRY also supports and participates in the NAP process and provides technical services for the design and implementation of facility-specific environmental adaptations throughout the various project phases.

We are now looking for more colleagues to join our team in Solna who want to grow in a consulting role and drive successful hydropower projects together with us. In the role of project manager, you will lead and coordinate in-house projects from start to finish. The projects vary in scope and complexity but often have a clear technical focus related to hydropower and dams. Depending on the project and your interests, you may be responsible for project management and communication with clients and/or technical coordination, as well as serving as a mentor to more junior colleagues.

You’ll be a valuable addition to a dedicated team where you’ll have excellent opportunities to grow, make an impact, and make a difference. We collaborate extensively throughout the country within Hydro and AFRY, as well as through international partnerships. Work is typically conducted from the office or a home office, and travel and site visits to the facilities are a natural part of the role.

Qualifications

To thrive and succeed in this role, we believe you’ll excel in a leadership position within a customer-focused organization with many points of contact. You have a strong ability to engage others and create clarity and momentum in a fast-paced environment where priorities can change quickly. You communicate thoughtfully and clearly, thereby building trust and setting the right expectations in your collaborations, both internally and externally. You thrive on taking responsibility and working in a structured manner toward clear goals to ensure high-quality deliverables.

In addition, we are looking for:

  • Experience as a project manager, design manager, technical coordinator, and/or technical lead in construction, energy, industrial, and/or civil engineering projects
  • An engineering degree in civil engineering, urban planning, or equivalent technical education
  • Proficiency in Swedish and English

We consider the following to be advantageous:

  • Experience working with hydropower and/or dam facilities
  • Experience with multidisciplinary projects
  • Class B driver’s license

Since the position may involve working in security-classified areas , drug testing and a security clearance process—including a criminal background check—may be required in accordance with Chapter 3 of the Security Protection Act.

Tests are used in this recruitment process to identify your potential based on personal qualities and problem-solving skills, as well as to ensure an accurate and fair process.

Additional information

We offer you a flexible work environment and a great deal of freedom with responsibility. At AFRY, diversity and inclusion are an integral part of our culture; we know that different perspectives create stronger teams and better solutions. Our culture is also characterized by knowledge sharing and professional development through internal and external training programs as well as individual development plans.

Here, we organize fun activities such as cultural and sporting events, ski trips, guided workouts, cabin rentals, guest lectures, and much, much more.
