Job Description

Our department in Norrköping and Linköping currently consists of a team of electrical, instrumentation, and automation engineers. We handle everything from project planning and design to commissioning and technical support in the process and manufacturing industries, energy, and other industrial segments, with several long-term client relationships in the process industry. With us, you’ll be part of a team that values collaboration, knowledge sharing, and a positive work environment. We are part of Project & Engineering Sweden and deliver both project and PS assignments to a broad customer base in the region.  

We are looking for an automation engineer who wants to help drive the development of advanced automation solutions within our projects.    

Your responsibilities will include ensuring that automation needs are met in ongoing assignments, where you will sometimes follow the entire project process—from the customer’s initial idea and sales support to the facility’s commissioning—and at other times contribute specialized expertise to specific parts of the project. &#

You will also serve as a sub-project manager, which entails responsibility for planning, coordinating, and monitoring the automation component of our projects. The work takes place both locally from our offices in Norrköping and Linköping, as well as in collaboration with the rest of the AFRY organization. A large portion of our projects are in the manufacturing and energy sectors.   

Work weeks vary. Some projects run for longer periods and involve continuity in your tasks, while other weeks consist of shorter assignments across several different projects. You will work closely with our automation team, where collaboration and knowledge sharing are key.   

We expect you to take a leading role in our automation projects, demonstrating a high level of responsibility and strong collaboration skills. The role also involves mentoring junior colleagues and contributing to the team’s professional development. 

At AFRY, there is a strong network of expertise forums that connect our senior engineers across the entire organization. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to build relationships, share knowledge, and develop your skills in new areas of technology. System development is advancing rapidly, and our clients’ system environments will need to be upgraded. You must therefore be open to learning new platforms and technologies to meet future demands.  

Qualifications

In this role, it’s important that you have a strong sense of planning and structure. You work methodically, set realistic expectations, and break down complex tasks into clear steps and milestones. Accuracy and attention to detail are an integral part of your work style.  We value integrity. You prioritize the team’s and the organization’s goals and always act in a professional and responsible manner. Your ability to prioritize the big picture makes you a reliable and dependable resource on projects.    

Finally, communication is a key competency. You express yourself openly and honestly, listen to others’ perspectives, and create space for dialogue. By providing constructive feedback, you contribute to a climate where everyone can grow and perform at their best.
