Are you ready to join us on our exciting journey?

Ellevio is one of Sweden's largest energy companies, and together we continue to electrify Sweden. With us, you are part of a secure and important future industry while having the opportunity to make a difference, grow as an individual, and have fun along the way! We believe in a bright and sustainable future, do you?

Are you an expert in protection and selectivity? Take the next step with Ellevio!

About the role of Selectivity Engineer

Protection and control equipment is becoming increasingly complex in the future power grid, which means higher demands and new challenges. As a selectivity engineer, you provide technical support to the operations, maintenance, and project organizations and collaborate with consultants, contractors, and other external stakeholders. The position covers Ellevio's local and regional power grids from Halland in the south to Hälsingland in the north, as well as the Stockholm area. In your role at Ellevio, you will work with:

• Development of selectivity plans and relay protection settings
• FAT/SAT of protection and control systems
• Fault isolation philosophies
• Disturbance investigations and analyses regarding protection functionality
• Improvement work of technical governing documents and processes

At our offices in Stockholm and Karlstad, we have now established modern test labs. These are used to ensure the quality of new systems and products during procurement, as well as to investigate components after network incidents and to practically test and adjust protection functions. Here, you and your colleagues will be able to collaborate in real-time using digital tools to test and verify new concepts that will prevent operational disturbances and create a smarter and safer grid.

You will be part of a team of 11 people located in Stockholm, Karlstad, and Kungsbacka. Your base location can therefore be at any of these offices or at our office in Bollnäs.

Together with your colleagues in Selectivity, you will become an important key player in ensuring fast, safe, and selective fault isolation in our power grid!

About you

To fit and thrive in the role of selectivity engineer, you should have a university or college degree in electrical power, energy systems, or equivalent. If you lack education in the relevant field, you need to have acquired equivalent competence from previous work experience.

Your knowledge of power grids and their components for local and regional grids is good. You have several years of experience from similar tasks.

It is advantageous if you have previous experience in configuring and testing relay protection systems, selectivity plans for masked power grids, and power quality analyses. Experience with network solutions such as IEC 61850, programming in Python, and calculations in PSS®E or SINCAL is also advantageous.

We will place great emphasis on your personal qualities, and we see it as important that you are an analytical person with a careful and systematic approach to work. You feel secure in yourself and your competence and therefore have the ability to drive processes forward and make your own assessments and priorities in your work. You work best when you have many points of contact while enjoying working independently with great freedom. You are a good communicator, both verbally and in writing. The role involves travel to stations and customers, so a driver's license (B) is required for the position.

Ellevio as an employer

It is important to us that employees feel happy, engaged, and driven by the desire to continuously learn new things and develop. Only then can we together achieve our vision of a bright and sustainable future. With us, you have great opportunities to influence the company as a whole and your own career. A fine testament to this is that we have been appointed a Career Company for the sixth consecutive year for 2026!

We are constantly working for a sustainable and developing work climate where equality, diversity, and inclusion are a given. For example, there is the ELLE network, Ellevio's internal women's network, and we train all employees in collective intelligence to create conditions for increased collaboration and well-being.

We also offer flexible working hours and, in dialogue with your immediate manager, the opportunity to work from home a couple of days a week.
