Contribute to creating conditions for good contact with the industry and external stakeholders

Svenska kraftnät is in a strong development phase, which requires that all, especially managers, actively work with business development. There are excellent opportunities to lead the development of new working methods and simplify project implementation for both Svenska kraftnät and our contractors, while maintaining good quality and high personnel safety. Seeking a holistic perspective even outside the unit's area of responsibility by developing and creating cross-functional working methods towards the unit's stakeholders and interfaces is crucial for the progress of the business.

Employees in the units work as technical specialists within project operations and participate in Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) and Site Acceptance Tests (SAT) as well as commissioning. Technology development and monitoring, as well as technical requirements specification and follow-up, are important pillars of the business.
