What do we offer

The production at the Torslanda plant is divided into three areas: body, painting, and assembly factories. We are currently making significant investments in the Assembly Factory, 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 major technological leaps that require skilled and dedicated Maintenance Technicians. Therefore, we are now looking for Maintenance Technicians in areas such as Electrical, Automation, and PLC for the maintenance organization.

The assembly maintenance department consists of around 90 people divided into various roles and shifts. Mostly, these are technicians with direct responsibility for the operation and maintenance of the factory. In addition, there are engineers, planning departments, and operations monitoring, etc. All these roles work together in various forums and teams to drive development and results forward. This position as a maintenance technician is scheduled on a 4-shift basis.

What you will do

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 task also includes investigation assignments regarding technical disturbances as well as carrying out reconstruction and improvement work on production equipment. The work is carried out in close collaboration with production and in several networks with different organizations and suppliers.

The highly automated production equipment in the assembly factory consists of PLC systems, robots, transport systems, pullers, and product-specific mechanics. Due to the high system integration, you as a Maintenance Technician will work with many different types of production equipment.

You and your skills

We want you to have a high school education focused on industrial automation/Electricity and theoretical electrical competence (equivalent to general authorization). You also have practical experience from maintenance work within electrical/IT, industrial automation, and/or workshop work. The job requires a B driver's license, good knowledge of English, and good PC skills in both software and hardware areas. If you have knowledge/experience in PLC and robot programming as well as the maintenance system Maximo, we consider this an advantage. Knowledge of production and maintenance processes as well as VCMS is also highly valued.

You as a person enjoy working result-oriented with a focus on continuous improvement. Your way of working involves people and functions for collaboration in a way that helps build trust. You take great responsibility for your own development by being curious and always wanting to learn new things. The work is event-driven and places high demands on flexibility, so to thrive in the role, you need to be open to change and accustomed to reprioritizing. You are quality-conscious and work in a structured manner, with a focus on safety.
