AFRY has Nordic roots with a global reach. Our shared principles – Result driven, Client centric, Empowering, and Accountable – guide us in how we work, develop, and succeed together. Join us in accelerating the transition to a sustainable society.   

Job Description

We want to further strengthen our team in buildings, land, and construction with a focus on the defense sector nationally. As a project manager or design manager, you will lead technically advanced and sometimes classified projects that contribute to Sweden's total defense and robust societal infrastructure. We work closely with our clients in interdisciplinary teams to create sustainable, functional, and resilient solutions in complex environments.

In this role, you will drive design and project management from early investigations to completed as-built documentation. You will be responsible for planning (time, cost, scope), coordination, quality assurance, documentation, and technical decisions in projects where high demands for confidentiality, security, and structure are central issues. You will lead multidisciplinary project teams, ensure interface management, and adhere to AFRY's and clients' requirements for delivery precision and specifications.

The work involves close collaboration with the defense sector and requires a good understanding of military operations, high-security environments, and technical systems related to defense infrastructure. Experience in buildings, land, construction, installations, and other infrastructure related to defense facilities is a prerequisite for the role.

Qualifications

The following are required for the role:

  • At least a three-year degree in architecture and/or engineering in civil engineering or at least a four-year technical high school diploma, or a two-year technical degree from a vocational college.
  • At least 10 years of professional experience in a relevant role
  • Experience in the defense sector or as a supplier to the Fortifications Agency
  • Documented experience in classified project environments
  • Experience in multidisciplinary project coordination or general consulting assignments
  • Very good ability to express yourself in Swedish and English, both spoken and written

Desirable qualifications:

  • Recently completed BAS-P training or other qualifications that may be relevant for the role.
  • Former military officer
  • Current or former reserve officer
  • Part-time serving soldier/sailor
  • Active in the Home Guard

These experiences provide valuable understanding of the end customer's environment, requirements, and working methods.
