Job Description

At AFRY Advanced Automation in Västerås, we specialize in delivering complete automation solutions for the process and manufacturing industries. We work with everything from PLC and HMI programming to system integration, commissioning, and optimization of complex facilities. Our team combines deep technical expertise with innovative methods to create effective, safe, and sustainable solutions. With us, you will have the opportunity to work with the latest technology on projects that span new turn-key installations, renovations, and advanced commissioning.

A typical work week may vary depending on the project's phase. You may work on programming in-house or be out at the client's site to ensure deliveries. Regular check-ins with the project group and team are a natural part of the work to keep you updated on what is happening within our department.

We are looking for someone with mid-level experience who takes responsibility for their own work. You are expected to contribute to driving projects forward and identifying opportunities for new customer assignments of our services. In the long run, we see you developing into a more driving role in projects, participating in the preparation of tender documents, and acting as a mentor for younger colleagues in the team.

You will have support from experienced colleagues in the team, although some assignments may require you to work independently. The role may in the future include security-classified assignments, as several of our clients have such requirements.

Qualifications

In this role, it is important that you are problem-solving and have the ability to analyze complex situations to find effective and sustainable solutions. You are result-oriented and work systematically to achieve set goals, while having a strong drive to deliver high quality. We also see that you are proactive, take responsibility, and dare to suggest improvements that contribute to the project's success. Finally, you are service-oriented and enjoy creating good relationships, both internally and with our clients, where you always strive to provide the best possible support and service.

Requirements
