The great complexity and development opportunities make our work both stimulating and significant. Here, you will gain a unique holistic perspective on the electricity system and collaborate closely with colleagues to ensure a safe, sustainable, and efficient electricity supply.

About the Position

The role of Technical Area Manager for Voltage is a new position where you have the opportunity to shape the role and develop and anchor working methods and decision-making processes, even though there are already some foundations to build upon. The role involves coordinating and being cohesive to ensure delivery within the technical area of voltage concerning alternating current at Svenska kraftnät. This means driving and working on issues with both technical breadth and depth together with technical experts. You will have overall responsibility and lead cross-functional work within the voltage area as well as drive improvement work and development of the technical area. Furthermore, the role entails:

• ensuring that the long-term strategy and vision for the voltage area remain current and that necessary activities and needs are initiated to achieve the set goals
• responsibility for identifying needs, planning, and coordinating the work conducted within the technical area
• responsibility for existing and the development of new agreements with connected parties within the technical area and monitoring compliance
• responsibility for monitoring key performance indicators and initiating actions in case of deviations
• developing and driving collaborations both within Svenska kraftnät and with external actors
• participating in Nordic and European working and expert groups within the area and engaging in various projects and initiatives related to the role's or unit's area of responsibility.

Here, you will have the opportunity to contribute to Svenska kraftnät fulfilling its system responsibility within voltage, to set requirements for connected parties, and to meet agreed requirements. You will be part of contributing to a stable power system where capabilities from all power sources contribute. You will have the opportunity to influence how Svenska kraftnät views issues within the area of responsibility and operate both internally and externally.

You will belong to the unit for Requirements Coordination and System Strategy, which currently consists of nine employees with a mixed age and gender distribution. The unit has a clearly coordinating role and is responsible for a comprehensive requirement picture for connected parties, system disturbance analyses, and for integrating the areas of voltage and frequency. The unit also has a coordinating responsibility for the department's work within civil preparedness.
