About the Role

Do you want to be an important part of the energy transition? Vattenfall Services is Sweden's leading contracting company in the energy and electrical power sector, and we are developing Sweden's energy infrastructure! With us, you work in a future-oriented industry with a strong focus on a sustainable future. We need more energy heroes who, together with us, want to make a difference for the entire society.

Vattenfall Services Technical Academy is a 7-month program where you get the chance to specialize as either a Control Engineer or Designer. The education includes both practical work at your intended department and digital lectures guided by the University of Väst.

The program starts in the autumn of 2026 with a joint introduction for all new employees. In addition to deepening your technical knowledge, you will also gain a large network. You will complete the theoretical components together with the other participants in the Technical Academy and will receive support from experienced colleagues who help you develop in the role.

As a Control Engineer, you will belong to a department consisting of several Control Engineers and some Project Managers. The main task of the Control Engineers is to work with troubleshooting, testing, and commissioning of control equipment such as relay protection, automation, and remote controls.

Vattenfall Services does not own any stations; all our work takes place at our customers' facilities. As a control engineer, you will work partly from the office, but the majority of your time will be spent at the customers' facilities.

Requirements

We are looking for someone who is driven, curious, and enjoys solving complex problems. You work in a structured manner and always have safety in focus — with us at Vattenfall Services, safety always comes first.

You have a strong technical interest and appreciate working closely with others. As a Control Engineer, you will have many points of contact and therefore need to be skilled at collaborating with different professional groups and stakeholders, both internally and externally.

We know that you will develop together with us, but we would like you to already have:

• Higher vocational education or equivalent in electrical power, electrical network design, preparation, or project planning, which ends no later than spring 2026. Alternatively, you are currently working as an industrial electrician, station or signal technician, automation technician, preparer, or designer/projector in real estate, electricity, or electrical power.
• Good knowledge of Swedish and English, both written and spoken.
• Driving license B.

About the Program & Position

The Technical Academy is a company-specific training program that takes place together with the University of Väst in Trollhättan. The various courses in the program are examined, and upon completion, you will receive 21 Higher Education Credits.

We offer you a permanent position with an initial probationary period. You will receive a salary during the training period, and after you have completed the training with a passing result, you will continue to work in your department in a permanent position.
