What do we offer?

The production at the Torslanda plant is divided into three areas: body, paint, and assembly. We are currently making significant investments in the Assembly Plant, which is being renovated in sections that will be put into operation continuously over the coming years. This creates an interesting and exciting workplace with significant technological leaps that require skilled and engaged Maintenance Technicians. Therefore, we are now looking for Maintenance Technicians in areas such as Electrical, automation, and PLC, etc.

As a Maintenance Technician, you will work to ensure the technical operational reliability of production equipment through the execution of corrective and preventive maintenance. The role also includes investigative assignments regarding technical disturbances as well as carrying out modifications and improvements in production equipment. The work is carried out in close collaboration with production and in several networks with various organizations and suppliers.

The highly automated production equipment in the assembly plant consists of PLC systems, robots, transport systems, pullers, and product-adapted mechanics. Since the system integration is high, you as a Maintenance Technician will work with many different types of production equipment. The assembly maintenance department consists of around 100 people divided into different roles and shifts, where Maintenance Technicians are responsible for the operation and maintenance of the plant. Engineers, planning departments, and operations monitoring also work here. All these roles collaborate in various forums and teams to drive development and results forward.
