About the role – Lead Mechanic

As a lead mechanic with us, you will have a practical, varied, and technically challenging everyday life where you combine operational work with clear technical leadership. You will work operationally with mechanical assembly in series production of special machines, while also serving as a natural reference point for the team in daily operations.

You will also be involved in and drive parts of our ongoing automation projects, from assembly and technical solutions to improvements in work methods and quality.

The role involves close collaboration with electricians, commissioning personnel, project organization, and production to ensure efficient flows and high technical standards.

You will be part of an engaged team of about 10 people who together build machines with a high technical level and quality, where FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) is a natural step in the process.

Working hours are scheduled for weekdays, Monday to Friday from 07:00 to 16:00, with some flexibility possible. We have an inclusive culture where we support each other, collaborate to solve problems, and have fun together.

In this role, planned travel may occur, both within Sweden and abroad.

For this reason, we will need to see an extract from the criminal record in connection with the recruitment process.

Great importance is placed on your personal qualities and your willingness to help develop both the role, the team, and our automation solutions – in the short and long term.
