About the Company GKN Aerospace Sweden is part of GKN Aerospace, which manufactures engine components, aircraft structures, cabin windows, wiring, and much more for many of the world's aircraft. The companies in the Aerospace division that work with parts for aircraft engines form Engines, and at our facility in Trollhättan, we develop and manufacture advanced parts for engines for aircraft and space rockets. We also work with engine maintenance.
We have production facilities in Trollhättan, Kongsberg (Norway), Mexico, and the USA. We also have an engineering office in Bangalore, India, and offices in Stockholm (Public Affairs) and Gothenburg. The headquarters for Engines is located in Trollhättan.
Your Responsibilities
The Rig Support department currently consists of nine engineers who together drive and coordinate work with preventive and corrective maintenance, improvements, and development of our apparatus and engine testing facility. The majority of testing currently takes place on the RM12 engine for Gripen C/D, both for maintenance and development engines. At the same time, we are working on the introduction of the RM16 engine for Gripen E, where testing resources are gradually being built up over the coming years. Several major infrastructure projects await – everything from new construction replacing older installations to renovations and reconstructions of existing facilities.
As part of our team, you will have a varied job where no day is the same. One moment you might be out in the facility following up on an installation, the next moment you are in the office planning upcoming projects within apparatus and engine testing.
Your responsibilities also include:
- New construction, design, preventive and corrective maintenance of our measurement systems
- Ensuring that assignments adhere to budget, timelines, and quality requirements
- Documentation according to standards and with high quality
- Active participation in business development of processes and routines

We want to work with you who are driven by challenges and have the ability to coordinate and prioritize your work. You value a positive attitude and put the team before yourself. We also appreciate that you do not hesitate in the face of challenges but meet them with curiosity, courage, and proactivity.

- Very good knowledge of Swedish and English, both spoken and written
