About the Role

We are building the electricity networks of the future today and managing a societal infrastructure that distributes more than half of all electricity produced in Sweden.

Do you have a background in electrical power and want to work in a dynamic environment where responsibility, collaboration, and the ability to drive issues to achieve results are central? Then we have an interesting opportunity for you!

We are looking for a Power Systems Investigator with expertise in electrical power to join the Power System group within the Operations and Maintenance Support unit.

The group's responsibility includes working preventively through, for example, operational analyses, complex calculations, and planning for extraordinary operational situations such as load shedding and restoration of operations. The responsibility also includes managing our functional power system model, including handling information exchange with other electricity network owners.

The group collaborates closely with operational monitoring and operational planning and is involved in operationally related issues/projects. You will have the chance to make a difference. The group is committed to making each other better.

Your main responsibilities include:

• Conducting operational analysis that can lead to measures for increased availability in the electricity network, increased utilization of the existing network, or loss reduction.
• 
  
• Investigating how various events in the network have affected or may affect operations and operational reliability and what measures need to be taken preventively (e.g., disturbance analyses and the formulation of new operational guidelines).
• 
  
• Involvement in both innovation projects and business development projects where new methods or techniques for electricity network operations are evaluated and developed, often in collaboration with or through industry forums.
• 
  
• Opportunity to develop into a specialist/expert in one or more areas.
• 
  
• Providing support for more junior colleagues.

The role will develop based on the skills you possess and can contribute, through good collaboration within the unit and department.
