With world-leading technology and a commitment to people, the environment, and society, we are building the possibilities for fossil-free electricity production.

Today, approximately 550 people are employed at SKB. We maintain extensive collaboration with experts and contractors outside the company.

About the Role

Do you want to work on a large and important mission?

You and your colleagues will contribute to the safe and efficient management of Swedish radioactive waste. With world-leading technology and care for people, the environment, and society, we are building possibilities for fossil-free electricity production. Are you ready for a significant and important job that will make a difference for people and the environment for a very long time to come?

SKB is seeking personnel with electrical expertise for our operations in Forsmark!

Where you will work

At the Final Repository for Short-Lived Radioactive Waste (SFR), located in Forsmark, Östhammar municipality, we face significant challenges. The existing facility is to be modernized and is also facing a major expansion up to and including approximately 2031.

Approximately 40 employees work at the facility, and you will join the operations team responsible for the operational management of the facility. The operations team currently consists of about five employees, both technicians and engineers.

The team is facing an exciting period, and here you will have the opportunity to help shape the operations in connection with SKB's construction of new facilities in Forsmark.

What you will do

You will work with operational management and contribute to a safe and available facility.

Main tasks include:

• Operations monitoring – alarm and disturbance management, as well as rounds and readiness.
• Operational testing – capacity and functional checks.
• Work permit management – preparing electrical and process demarcations, reviewing work to be performed, issuing and collecting work permits and keys.
• Participate in facility development/projects as a representative for operations.
• Manage operational documentation – update operating instructions and disturbance instructions.
• Short-term facility planning.

In the operations team, we work in rotating roles where responsibilities and tasks vary each week. We take turns being the operations watch responsible for monitoring, the ABH (Work Permit) officer handling work orders, and the technician responsible for rounds and functional testing in the facility.

Requirements

We are looking for someone with a strong interest in technology and relevant knowledge in electrical engineering, preferably with experience in roles such as electrical technician, electrical engineer, operations manager, electrical installation manager, switching supervisor, switching assistant, or similar.

We also expect you to have:

• Knowledge of working with electrical installations, such as commissioning and demarcation.
• Good skills in Swedish and English, both spoken and written.
• Good IT skills.
• Driver's license B.

Since the role involves several points of contact with departments such as maintenance, technology, and projects, we expect you to find it easy to collaborate with different groups and individuals and to value good teamwork. As a person, you are responsible, take initiative to drive your work forward, and strive to learn and develop within your work. Furthermore, you are resilient and can handle varying needs in different situations.

Due to these regulations, a background check is carried out for candidates for many of the positions in our operations before employment. For positions that lead to participation in security-sensitive activities or placement in a security class, this control means that a security clearance is carried out in accordance with the Security Protection Act.
