Job Description

AFRY is the Nordic region’s largest systems integrator in automation. We help our clients with advanced technical solutions while leading the way in the industry’s transition toward a greener future and a more digitalized world. We therefore see a great need to recruit more skilled employees.

At AFRY, we have a very high level of expertise across a broad range of the ABB 800xA system. We have many projects to deliver and need to expand our team even further! In this job posting, we are seeking a senior automation engineer with solid experience in 800xA. You will initially serve as a resource on ongoing and upcoming projects, with the long-term goal of building and shaping a team and business focused on DCS/800xA projects and services in the Stockholm region. Eventually, you will serve as the manager, leading the team and developing the business both technically and commercially.

In this role, you will be involved in our entire delivery process. As a lead automation engineer, you will lead, support, and plan the work of your project team, where you will have a significant influence on the design of project delivery in close collaboration with project managers.

As an employee with us, you will either work on-site at a client’s location within their project organization or be part of one of our in-house projects from one of our offices in Solna or Liljeholmen. In these projects, you will collaborate with highly skilled colleagues from other AFRY offices.

Given AFRY’s size and breadth, we’re involved in many interesting projects within Swedish industry, where we deliver advanced automation solutions. If you want to be part of making a real difference, we’re the right workplace for you.
