Job description

AFRY Advanced Automation in Borlänge is part of AFRY's investment in delivering innovative and sustainable automation solutions to industry. We work closely with our customers to create efficient, safe and future-proof systems that contribute to increased productivity and reduced environmental impact.  

Our team consists of dedicated specialists in automation, electrical design, machine design and project management, and we offer a dynamic work environment where skills development and collaboration are at the center. 

We are looking for an automation engineer who wants to be involved in driving the development of advanced automation solutions within our projects.  

Your area of responsibility is to ensure the automation needs of ongoing assignments, where you sometimes follow the entire project process - from customer idea and sales support to operational plant - and sometimes you contribute with specialist expertise in specific parts of the project. The work is done both locally from our office in Borlänge and in collaboration with AFRY's other organization. A large part of our projects are in the steel and energy sector. Some projects are for longer periods and involve continuity of tasks, while other weeks consist of shorter assignments on several different projects. You will work closely with our automation team in Borlänge, where cooperation and knowledge exchange are central. We see that you take a driving role in our automation assignments, with a high level of responsibility and good collaboration skills. The role also means that you act as a mentor for junior colleagues and contribute to the team's competence development. 

At AFRY, there is a strong network of competence forums that connect our senior engineers across the organization. Here you will have the opportunity to build relationships, share knowledge and develop in new technology areas. System development is moving fast, and our customers' system environments will need to be upgraded. You will therefore need to be open to learning new platforms and technologies to meet future requirements. The role is not currently security classified, but may include security classified assignments in the future. 

Qualifications

In this role, it is important that you have a strong sense of planning and structure.  
You work methodically, setting realistic expectations and breaking down complex tasks into clear steps and milestones. Accuracy and attention to detail are a natural part of your way of working.  
 

We also value integrity. You put the goals of the team and the organization first and always act with a professional and responsible approach. Your ability to prioritize the big picture makes you a confident and reliable resource in projects.  

Finally, communication is a key skill. You express yourself openly and honestly, listen to others' perspectives and create space for dialog. By giving constructive feedback, you contribute to a climate where everyone can develop and perform at their best. 

Requirements
