Job Description

Do you want to work with PLC programming and/or electrical design within the food industry – at one of Sweden's leading engineering and design firms? Are you also unpretentious, social, and thrive in team collaboration?

Then this might be the right job for you!

The Food business area at AFRY is characterized by extensive industry experience and high competence in project management, process design, plant engineering, automation, and quality assurance. As one of AFRY's strategically selected segments, Food is a area we are particularly focusing on globally.

Our business idea is to both manage and further develop our project business and our total assignments. We are in a strong growth phase and continue to expand, both nationally and internationally.

About the Role

As an automation engineer with us in Gothenburg, you will work closely with experienced colleagues on assignments directed towards the food industry. Together, we help our customers develop, streamline, and optimize their operations.

We work in projects, where each assignment is based on the customer's specific needs and conditions – making every project unique. Therefore, we appreciate that you are flexible, adaptable, and enjoy new challenges.

Examples of tasks:

• PLC programming
• System integration and technical solutions
• Quotation work
• Electrical design
• Project management
• Commissioning
• Service and maintenance

The work group consists of 14 people with different roles, where about half work primarily with PLC programming and half with electrical design. Most have long experience in the industry, and we have a strong culture of collaboration and knowledge sharing. There is much competence to learn from here – and good opportunities for you to develop, from junior to a highly skilled automation engineer.

Qualifications

We are looking for you who have:

• At least 3 years of experience as an automation engineer, preferably within the food industry
• Relevant education in automation and/or electrical design, or equivalent work experience
• Valid driver's license (Category B)
• Good ability to read and understand electrical drawings
• Experience as a maintenance technician with PLC systems

We place great emphasis on your personal qualities. To thrive in the role, we believe you are curious, unpretentious, and have an easy time collaborating with others. You are flexible, social, and enjoy a varied daily life where customer needs are in focus.

You work systematically and take responsibility for your work, both independently and in teams. At the same time, you are happy to share your ideas and experiences and have a positive attitude towards new challenges.

You master Swedish and English well, both in speech and writing, and are accustomed to working in a project format.

Travel is part of the role, averaging approximately 20–40 days per year, both within Sweden and internationally.

Meritorious

• Experience with Siemens Classic and/or TIA Portal
• General programming skills or a strong interest in programming
• Experience with electrical design tools such as ElProCAD, EPLAN, or similar
