Job Description

As an Automation Engineer at AFRY, you will work with programming, configuration, and commissioning of control systems within industrial projects. The role involves developing solutions in PLC and SCADA systems, primarily in Siemens TIA Portal and ABB 800xA, as well as participating in testing and commissioning. You will become an important part of the project team, responsible for the automation aspect, which requires close collaboration with electrical engineers and project managers. The work is primarily based at AFRY's office in Kalmar or at the client's site, with some possibility for remote work.

We expect you to be able to drive programming work from idea to finished solution and contribute your expertise to ensure the project delivers according to requirements and schedule. You will receive support from your manager and colleagues, as well as access to AFRY's broad network of specialists. In the long term, there are good development opportunities – for example, to deepen your knowledge in advanced programming, take on the role of systems engineer or project manager, and develop as a consultant with a holistic perspective on client assignments.

Certain assignments may require security clearance, meaning the role may involve security-classified projects in the future.

Qualifications

To succeed in the role of Automation Engineer, you need a problem-solving approach where you can quickly identify causes of problems in complex control systems, analyze different solution alternatives, and choose the most effective path forward. You are business-minded and structured, meaning you plan and organize your work with order in code and documentation, and ensure the project follows agreed requirements, schedule, and budget. The role also requires you to be ambitious – you take responsibility for driving tasks forward, actively seek improvements, and keep yourself updated on new technology. Finally, it is important that you are a team player who collaborates closely with colleagues and clients, shares knowledge, and contributes to a good working climate.

Requirements

• Experience with programming in industry (manufacturing/process/food) as well as commissioning and troubleshooting.
• Minimum vocational education (YH) in automation or equivalent experience.
• System knowledge: Siemens TIA Portal and/or ABB 800xA.
• Swedish and English at a professional level in speech and writing.

Merits

• Knowledge of HMI/SCADA systems.
• System knowledge: ABB SattLine, AVEVA System Platform, etc.
• Knowledge/experience of electrical design.
