About the Role

Do you want a meaningful job where you can make a real difference for both society and the energy transition? With us, you are part of a socially critical operation with exciting projects, cutting-edge technology, and colleagues who value each other.

We are now seeking several experienced Maintenance Managers to help build the maintenance operations of the future!

We are facing one of Vattenfall Eldistribution's largest initiatives ever – a historic effort to build a stronger, more resilient, and fully independent capability in maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair. In a time when the external world demands higher levels of robustness and durability, we are taking decisive steps to secure an electricity grid that withstands difficult conditions and delivers when it is needed most.

Your Role as a Maintenance Manager

Our department within Technology and Control Systems operates within the voltage range of 0.4–400 kV and is responsible for maintenance, projects, and troubleshooting in substations, control systems, and other high-voltage equipment. As a Maintenance Manager, you will play a key role in driving smaller projects and reconstructions, as well as planning and coordinating maintenance and service in our own facilities.

We are looking for someone motivated to create the best conditions for technicians and engineers in the field, as well as for the operation as a whole. The role involves a strong focus on safety, quality, progress, and engagement. Safety is our guiding star in everything we do; in a hazardous environment, we look out for each other and create security together.

Examples of Responsibilities

• Plan, prioritize, and follow up on maintenance measures based on technical and economic conditions.
• Lead and distribute work in the field, ensuring tasks are carried out safely, efficiently, and in accordance with applicable requirements.
• Analyze technical documentation such as protocols, inspections, and facility data, and initiate appropriate actions.
• Ensure quality and safety through field inspections, safety walks, and follow-up of occupational health and safety routines.
• Collaborate closely with the control center, technicians, contractors, and internal functions to optimize planning and progress.
• Act as the Base Manager (Bas-P) and appoint the Base User (Bas-U) for construction and installation work, and prepare occupational health and safety plans when necessary.
• Work according to the company's self-control program for electrical installations and ensure the right competence and roles in the assignment.
• Appoint an electrical safety leader and establish method choices according to ESA (Electrical Safety Act) together with them.
• Contribute to technical development by participating in various improvement and development projects.

Work is largely conducted from the office, but a significant part of the assignment is to be present in our facilities and care for them through long-term, qualitative, and careful maintenance. Day trips are therefore a natural part of the role.

Requirements Specification

As a Maintenance Manager within our own maintenance operations, you are the technician group's most important support in their daily work in the electricity grid. Leadership is a central part of the role; therefore, we are looking for someone with a coaching, solution-oriented, and communicative working style.

The role includes taking responsibility for planning, prioritizing, and executing maintenance work in our electricity grid, with safety always as the highest priority. You drive the work forward in an organized and engaged manner, with a focus on high delivery quality and good service towards colleagues, customers, and other stakeholders.

Qualifications

• Secondary education or higher, preferably in electricity, power engineering, technology, or another relevant field.
• Work experience in electricity distribution or a related field.
• Good computer skills, including the Office package.
• Class B driver's license.
• Very good knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written.

Experience in project or service leadership within substation maintenance is an asset. Experience with case management systems or working in the SAP business system is also an advantage.
