About the Role

We welcome a junior Data Engineer to grow into the role of Digital Lead at our client. In this position, you are responsible for driving, coordinating, and implementing digital initiatives that create value in both production and administrative functions. The role is operational and broad, involving a mix of analysis, coordination, practical execution, and dialogue with the business, acting as a bridge between business, IT, and partners.

What We Offer

Our client offers a unique opportunity to be involved from the start in building a new digital platform and driving the company's digital transformation. You will have significant influence, the chance to grow in a broad role, and the potential to take on a leading position within a small, cross-functional team in the long term.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and coordinate digital initiatives from idea to established workflow in both production and administrative processes.
  • Identify digitalization opportunities based on business needs, pain points, and goals.
  • Collaborate with business representatives, IT, architecture, data/BI, automation, and external vendors.
  • Drive the digitalization of production-proximate processes, such as planning, monitoring, traceability, and exception handling.
  • Support the implementation of digital workflows in workshop environments through close dialogue with operators and production engineers.
  • Simplify information flows, reduce manual work, and increase transparency in administrative and engineering processes.
  • Contribute to better decision-making through data, visualization, and structure.

Qualifications

  • Good understanding of IT systems and digital applications that support business processes, acquired through education or work experience.
  • Strong knowledge of tools related to data analysis and data visualization, such as Python, Databricks, Power BI, and data pipelines.
  • Good programming skills, preferably in Python, SQL, JavaScript, or TypeScript.
  • Excellent proficiency in Swedish and English, both spoken and written.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience working with data sources and industrial systems such as Ignitio, MES, or ERP.
  • Experience working at the interface between business and IT.
  • Experience with projects in an industrial environment (preferably manufacturing).
  • Academic background in Computer Science or IT.

Personal Attributes

To succeed in this role, we are looking for a structured and pragmatic person with strong collaboration and communication skills, who can move comfortably between technical and business languages. You thrive in a broad role within a small team, where taking responsibility and driving work forward independently and purposefully is required.

We also look for someone with a genuine interest in programming and new technology, who enjoys experimenting, testing new solutions, and turning ideas into practice. This is particularly valuable in a role that combines operational work with innovation and practical problem-solving.

As a person, you are open to change, organized, social, and intellectually curious.

Our Recruitment Process

This recruitment process is handled by Academic Work, and our client requests that all questions regarding the position be directed to Academic Work.

We conduct ongoing selection and will remove the advertisement once a sufficient number of candidates have reached the final stage of the recruitment process. A CV is required when applying. We do not use cover letters as a selection method, so one is not necessary. The recruitment process includes two selection tests: a personality test and a cognitive ability test. These tests are tools to help identify the candidate with the highest potential for the role, while promoting equality, diversity, and a fair recruitment process.
