Job Description

AFRY Advanced Automation in Borlänge is part of AFRY's initiative to deliver innovative and sustainable automation solutions to the industry. We work closely with our clients to create efficient, safe, and future-proof systems that contribute to increased productivity and reduced environmental impact.

Our team consists of dedicated specialists in automation, electrical design, mechanical design, and project management, and we offer a dynamic work environment where competence development and collaboration are at the center.

We are looking for an automation engineer who wants to drive the development of advanced automation solutions within our projects.

Your area of responsibility is to ensure the automation needs in ongoing assignments, where you sometimes follow the entire project process – from client idea and sales support to commissioning of the facility – and sometimes contribute your specialist expertise in specific parts of the project.

You will also work as a sub-project manager, which means responsibility for planning, coordinating, and following up on the automation part of our projects. The work takes place both locally from our office in Borlänge and in collaboration with AFRY's other organization. A large part of our projects are in the steel and energy sectors.

The workweeks are varied. Some projects are over longer periods and involve continuity in tasks, while other weeks consist of shorter efforts in several different projects. You will work closely with our automation team in Borlänge, where collaboration and knowledge sharing are central.
We expect you to take a proactive role in our automation assignments, with a high level of responsibility and good collaboration skills. The role also involves mentoring junior colleagues and contributing to the team's competence development.

At AFRY, there is a strong network of competence forums that connect our senior engineers across the organization. Here you will have the opportunity to build relationships, share knowledge, and develop in new technical areas. System development is progressing rapidly, and our clients' system environments will need to be upgraded. Therefore, you need to be open to learning new platforms and technologies to meet future demands. The role is not security classified at present but may involve security classified assignments in the future.

Qualifications

In this role, it is important that you have a strong sense of planning and structure.
You work methodically, set realistic expectations, and break down complex tasks into clear steps and milestones. Accuracy and attention to detail are a natural part of your working method.

We also value integrity. You prioritize the team's and organization's goals and always act with a professional and responsible approach.
Your ability to prioritize the whole makes you a reliable and trustworthy resource in projects.

Finally, communication is a key competence. You express yourself openly and honestly, listen to others' perspectives, and create space for dialogue. By providing constructive feedback, you contribute to an environment where everyone can develop and perform their best.
