AFRY has Nordic roots with a global reach. Our shared principles—Result-Driven, Client-Centric, Empowering, and Accountable—guide us in how we work, develop, and succeed together.

Job Description

With a proud history and an exciting future, the nuclear power industry is where you can make a real difference and help shape tomorrow’s energy landscape. Our consultants at AFRY Nuclear lead projects and carry out assignments across several technical fields—mechanical/process, electrical/automation, construction, and industry-specific areas such as reactor safety and radioactive waste. We carry out projects of varying sizes, from component replacements to complex modernization projects. With our broad expertise, we help both our clients and each other grow. In addition, we have 19,000 colleagues across AFRY, giving us an impressive pool of expertise to offer our clients. 

We are now seeking several colleagues for the role of Technical Project Manager for consulting assignments in the nuclear power industry. In this role, you’ll join projects early on and lead various technical assignments from start to finish. The size and scope of the projects vary—from technical maintenance to decommissioning and modernization projects. You’ll be responsible for ensuring that projects stay on schedule and within budget, and that they are carried out in accordance with the strict regulations and safety standards that apply in the nuclear power industry. The work also includes, among other things, preparing project documentation, conducting needs analyses, reviewing bids, and carrying out feasibility studies and investigations prior to projects.

Our division offers exciting work assignments within a dedicated and knowledgeable team. With support from experienced colleagues, you’ll have excellent opportunities to grow in the role of technical project manager. As a consultant in this field, you’ll primarily work on-site at our clients’ locations, which means travel is a natural part of the job. There is the possibility of some remote work, depending on the assignment and tasks.

Qualifications

We place a high value on personal qualities to ensure you thrive in this role. Since we operate in a client-oriented business with many points of contact, we’re looking for someone with strong communication skills who is motivated by building and developing long-term relationships with both clients and colleagues.

You enjoy establishing new contacts, drive work forward efficiently, and contribute where needed to ensure the team’s success. Since you will often be working on multiple assignments simultaneously, it is also important that you work in a structured manner and are quick to learn new things. You have a flexible approach, adapt easily to changing circumstances, and see opportunities in change. 

We are looking for candidates who have:

  • A bachelor’s degree in engineering or other relevant post-secondary education.
  • Previous experience working on projects in the technical industry.
  • Operational or practical experience at a nuclear power plant.
  • Proficiency in Swedish and English, as both languages are used frequently at AFRY and with our clients.
  • A Class B driver’s license, as travel is a natural part of the role.

It is advantageous if you have:

  • Previous experience as a project manager, assignment manager, or sub-project manager in the technical industry.
  • Experience or education in interdisciplinary technical fields, such as mechanics, mechatronics, chemistry, engineering physics, construction, or related fields.

Since the position involves working in security-classified areas,you will undergo drug testing and security clearance checks before employment can begin. Swedish citizenship is required to work in security-classified areas such as this one.
