Job Description

AFRY Nuclear is one of Sweden’s leading players in the nuclear power sector, with extensive experience as a partner to both Swedish and international energy producers. We work across the entire nuclear power lifecycle, from the modernization and lifetime extension of existing facilities to new nuclear power plants, decommissioning, and radioactive waste management. Our projects span several technical areas, including design, mechanics, process engineering, construction, electrical systems and automation, reactor safety, and waste management.

We hold a unique position of trust in our market, and the combination of our size, broad expertise, and long-term customer relationships enables us to earn the trust needed to contribute to some of the industry’s most complex and socially critical projects. As part of our continued growth, we are now further expanding our operations in Gothenburg and Varberg and are seeking additional project managers who want to lead technical projects in the nuclear power sector that contribute to the fossil-free energy systems of the future.

As a project manager, you will have overall responsibility for ensuring that projects are carried out in accordance with established goals regarding time, cost, quality, and safety. You will drive the work forward in accordance with the high standards, regulations, and safety requirements that apply in the nuclear power industry and create the conditions for successful project delivery. Depending on the project, you may also be responsible for feasibility studies, technical assessments, needs analyses, preparing documentation for decision-making, and reviewing bids and supplier solutions. Projects may include:

• Existing nuclear power plants, such as modernization, lifetime extension, and decommissioning projects
• Technical maintenance and construction projects
• New construction of future nuclear power plants

You’ll be part of a dedicated team that works closely with one another and with our customers. Thanks to our position and collective expertise, we can offer a wide range of assignments and, consequently, significant opportunities for professional development in an industry facing substantial investments and long-term growth. You’ll play a central role in our clients’ operations; depending on the project, this involves spending 3–5 days per week on-site at the client’s location. Remote work is partially possible, depending on the project and your responsibilities.

Qualifications

Personal qualities are something we value highly to ensure you thrive in this role. We’re looking for someone interested in growing within the nuclear power industry and who is driven by a desire to learn new things. To succeed in this role, you need a strong ability to create structure and drive efficient progress in a complex environment. You are responsible and meticulous in your approach to work, and solution-oriented based on the needs of the projects. You enjoy coordinating and engaging various stakeholders toward common goals, and through your strong collaboration skills and clear communication, you build strong relationships and trust with clients and colleagues.

Additionally, we are looking for:

• Previous experience leading projects or technical assignments in safety-critical and highly regulated industries, such as nuclear power, the pharmaceutical industry, the defense industry, the space industry, infrastructure, or similar fields
• Relevant post-secondary technical education
• Proficiency in Swedish and English
• Class B driver’s license

We consider it a plus if you have:  

• Operational/practical experience at a nuclear power plant
• Experience as a supervisor for construction, industrial, energy, or civil engineering projects
• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in civil engineering, mechanical engineering, mechatronics, or engineering physics

This position is located in security-classified areas and you will therefore undergo drug testing, a security screening, and a background check in accordance with Chapter 3 of the Security Protection Act before employment can begin.
