Welcome to grow in a growing city - where your contribution truly makes a difference!

Your role

As an electrical project engineer with us, you will join a unit where everyone takes the time to help each other and has fun together. We now need reinforcement and are looking for you who want to work with the design of renovation and new construction of traffic signals and other traffic technical systems. You will work independently with the design in a CAD environment using the programs DpCom, Microstation, and Autocad.

You will also be a project member in large projects, often involving coordination work. You will collaborate with project managers in the unit and with traffic signal planners within the department, especially in the planning stage. You will have several projects running simultaneously, some of which may last for several years. Others are shorter processes, but both are characterized by occasionally intense periods. This requires self-organization and a goal-oriented approach with a desire to achieve results. Much of the work takes place on-site at the Traffic Office, but sometimes you will be expected to drive to facilities and project offices in the city.

Your skills and experience

We are looking for someone who has:

an electrical education that we find relevant for the position, which can be a high school education or a KY education with a focus on electricity
current experience as a designer/engineer in electricity and/or cable laying underground, such as lighting or traffic signals
worked with AMA electrical/construction for quantity and technical descriptions
worked in a CAD environment and has good IT skills
a B driver's license

It is advantageous if you also have:

experience in electrical design for traffic signals and practical experience from relevant assignments in the field

As a person, you need to be self-sufficient, used to managing your own time and driving your work forward. Familiar with having multiple matters ongoing simultaneously, you work in a structured and goal-oriented manner with a desire to achieve results. You have an easy time understanding details but always have the ability to see the long-term significance of things. In working with people and technology, unexpected situations always arise, and therefore good collaboration skills, great patience, flexibility, and a focus on solutions are needed.
