We are now looking for a section manager for the Power System department within the System division, who will contribute to Sweden's electricity supply every day.

About the position

As a section manager, you will be the manager of four unit managers, each responsible for their unit. Three of the units are responsible for network planning divided into the geographical areas of north, central, and south. The fourth unit is a strategic network planning function. You will be part of steering groups for facility projects and development projects where you are expected to contribute with your knowledge. You will belong to the management team of the power systems and report directly to the head of the Power System department.

The purpose is to develop the transmission network to meet the world's need for network capacity. The section conducts investigations of changes that affect the capacity of the physical network, establishes maximum network capacity, and identifies the need for network reinforcements.
