Job Description

At AFRY Advanced Automation in Västerås, we are specialists in delivering complete automation solutions for the process and manufacturing industries.

Our team combines deep technical competence with innovative methods to create efficient, safe, and sustainable solutions. Here, you will have the opportunity to work with the latest technology in projects spanning new turn-key installations, modifications, and advanced commissioning.

A typical work week may vary depending on the project phase. You may work with programming in-house or be out at the customer site to ensure deliveries. Regular check-ins with the project group and team are a natural part of the work to keep you updated on what is happening within our department.

You will have support from experienced employees in the team, although some assignments may involve working independently. The role may in the future include security-cleared assignments, as several of our customers have such requirements.

Qualifications

In this role, it is important that you are problem-solving and have the ability to analyze complex situations to find effective and sustainable solutions. You are result-oriented and work systematically to achieve set goals, while having a strong drive to deliver with high quality. We also see that you are proactive, take responsibility, and dare to suggest improvements that contribute to the project's success. Finally, you are service-oriented and enjoy building good relationships, both internally and with our customers, where you always strive to provide the best possible support and service.
