Do you want to have fun at work and at the same time work for a fossil-free society?

Now we are strengthening our team and looking for another shift control room engineer for our production center in Bispgården!

Working in a production center means that you are constantly involved with different parties, both internally and externally. We are a service function and the hub between demand and supply of fossil-free electricity production from hydropower.
