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 vital operation featuring exciting projects, cutting-edge technology, and colleagues who value each other.

We are now looking for you to take a key role in shaping the future of our maintenance operations as Group Manager for Technology and Control Facilities South.

We are facing one of Vattenfall Eldistribution's largest initiatives ever – a historic mobilization to build a stronger, more resilient, and fully internal capability in maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair. In a time when the external environment demands ever-higher levels of robustness and durability, we are taking decisive steps to secure a grid that can withstand difficult conditions and deliver when it is needed most.

Responsibilities and Duties

As a Group Manager within Technology and Control Facilities, you will play a key role in developing and leading the daily maintenance operations at Vattenfall Eldistribution. You will be responsible for a team of approximately 20 employees. The group includes control facility engineers, automation and communication engineers, as well as several maintenance supervisors who together perform and coordinate ongoing maintenance at our regional grid stations (0.4–400 kV).

In this role, you are a present leader who stays close to both people and operations. You participate in operational planning, support daily decision-making, and are regularly out in the facilities to create security, direction, and clarity in the work. The maintenance supervisors assist you in allocating resources, prioritizing tasks, and ensuring operations run smoothly, while the engineers perform all necessary maintenance work at our regional grid stations.

Together, you will build an organization characterized by engagement, security, and pride, where safety is always our guiding star – in a hazardous environment, we look out for each other and create security together.

In this role, you are responsible for, among other things:

• Leading, coaching, and following up on employees in their daily work, and ensuring the right competence in the group over time.
• Ensuring that planning, work processes, and execution function efficiently and safely in operational operations.
• Supporting work supervisors in their role as coordinators of daily work.
• Being responsible for budget, forecasting, follow-up, and financial management within the group.
• Being active in the department's management group and ensuring good collaboration both internally and externally.
• Ensuring that Vattenfall's ambitious work environment and safety work permeate everything we do.
• A key part of the assignment is to be present in the facilities and care for them through long-term, qualitative, and careful maintenance.

The role is central to our continued build-up of an internal maintenance capability, where you drive development through participation, clear direction, and a strong focus on collaboration and safety.

Requirements

We are looking for a secure, communicative, and development-oriented leader who creates engagement, direction, and collaboration through others. You have experience leading teams in operationally complex environments and are accustomed to building work methods, structure, and culture in organizations that are growing and changing.

You have experience in:

• Driving improvement work and developing work methods and culture.
• Working structuredly with planning, budget, and follow-up.
• Creating trust, security, and clarity.
• Building strong teams and leading through participation.

We expect you to have experience in leading personnel, preferably within operations and maintenance. You communicate fluently in Swedish and English and hold a B driver's license as business travel is required. We consider education in electrical power and/or work experience within the industry as an asset.
