Job description

At AFRY Hydro, we are today 120 employees who together drive the development of hydropower - from dams and dam safety to geotechnics, hydromechanics, hydraulics, environment and power station. We work in both national and international projects and are in an exciting and expansive phase as a growing Nordic player. Our projects vary in size and scope, from investigation and feasibility study to design and support during implementation and operation. You will work in projects where you perform calculations, review and follow-up of progress and preparation and review of reports. The calculations can be in areas such as rotor dynamics / flow / transient / fatigue / strength calculations.

If you have previously worked with the design of mechanical and hydraulic systems, you will similarly be an important resource regarding follow-up and review. In addition to this, we also see that you will have project management responsibilities, which means project management of both national and international resources.

You will be part of a dedicated team consisting of project managers, construction managers, investigators / designers and specialists. We have a close collaboration within the team and with other colleagues within Hydro, and together we run socially important projects in hydropower where we are at the forefront of feasibility studies and concept studies of pumped storage. Our size, collective expertise and interdisciplinary approach enable us to offer solutions with a breadth and quality that are unique in the industry.

The projects are generally run from the office or home office and travel is a natural part of the service. As we operate throughout the Nordic region, the project team is largely led remotely.

Qualifications

We attach great importance to your personal qualities and your desire to develop with us. To succeed and thrive in the role of turbine specialist with us, we see that you are responsible and have a good ability to structure, plan and run several projects and tasks in parallel. You act proactively and on your own initiative to move forward as efficiently as possible. Equally important for the role is that you enjoy collaborating and having many internal and external contacts. You are responsive and happy to share knowledge and ideas to find win-win solutions.

In addition, we see that you have experience in the hydropower industry where you have worked with renewal or reinvestment projects, as well as a civil engineering education and good knowledge of Swedish.

It is meritorious if you have experience of:

• Performing calculations (rotor dynamics/flow/transient/fatigue/strength calculations)
• Working with tools such as Ansys, Simsen and/or Mathcad or equivalent
• Construction of mechanical and hydraulic systems
• International projects
• Pump power projects
• Contract management

In this recruitment process, we use tests as a step in identifying your potential, i.e. how well you match the parts of the requirement profile that deal with personal qualities and problem-solving skills. The tests also help us ensure a more accurate and fair recruitment process.

Since our services may operate in security-classified areas, drug tests and security checks may be required before employment can begin. For all recruitments at AFRY, an ID check, reference checks and verification of education are always carried out prior to employment.
