The project teams are highly communicative and deeply committed. In the role of Project Manager for testing projects, you will lead testing projects of various sizes—both commercial and R&D—that encompass electrical, mechanical, routine, and materials testing.

The role involves working continuously with risk management and finding appropriate solutions that meet the needs that arise during the project. It is therefore important that you focus on safety and the work environment in connection with the various activities.

We are looking for someone who:

  • Has a strong interest in technology and a curiosity to learn new things
  • Holds a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in engineering or has a similar education
  • Have experience working on customer and delivery projects
  • Communicate effectively, both verbally and in writing, in Swedish and English
