Job Description
As an Electrical Designer at AFRY, you will work with the entire electrical design process for industrial projects. The role involves creating electrical documentation, circuit diagrams, cable and connection lists, and material specifications using CAD tools such as Eplan or Elprocad. You will be an integral part of the project team and will be responsible for the electrical design portion, which requires close collaboration with automation engineers and project managers. The work is primarily based at AFRY’s office in Kalmar or on-site at the client’s location, with some opportunity to work from home.&#
We expect you to be able to drive the design work from the preliminary study through to the final solution and contribute your expertise to ensure that the project delivers according to requirements and schedule. You’ll receive support from your manager and colleagues, as well as access to AFRY’s extensive network of specialists. In the long term, there are excellent opportunities for professional development—for example, specializing in advanced electrical design, taking on the role of systems engineer or project manager, and growing as a consultant with a holistic perspective on client projects.
Some assignments may require a security clearance, which means the role may involve security-classified projects in the future.
Qualifications
To succeed in the role of electrical design engineer, you need a problem-solving mindset that allows you to quickly identify the causes of problems in complex electrical designs, analyze various solution options, and choose the most effective path forward. You are business-minded and structured, which means you plan and organize your work with order in drawings and documentation, and ensure that the project adheres to agreed-upon requirements, timelines, and budgets. The role also requires that you be ambitious—you take responsibility for driving tasks forward, actively seek improvements, and stay up to date on new technology. Finally, it’s important that you’re a team player who collaborates closely with colleagues and clients, shares knowledge, and contributes to a positive work environment.
Requirements
- Experience in electrical design within the industrial sector (manufacturing/process/food) as well as system commissioning.
- At least a vocational college degree in automation/electrical design or equivalent experience
- Experience working in Eplan or Elprocad
- Experience with machine safety
- Swedish and English at a professional level, both spoken and written
Preferred Qualifications
- Knowledge of standards for safe machinery
- Experience with electrical design tools
- Knowledge/experience with control system programming (e.g., Siemens TIA Portal, ABB Control Builder / 800xA)
