Vacant job

Vattenfall Hydropower is responsible for Vattenfall's 90 hydropower plants and approximately 300 dams in the Nordic region. We have around 580 employees in Sweden and Finland, with our headquarters in Luleå.

Our production accounts for approximately 25 percent of Sweden's total electricity demand. To deliver high availability in our production, we must constantly challenge ourselves, develop our ways of working, and leverage digital opportunities.

You thrive in a leadership role where you take responsibility and have the opportunity to influence. You are accustomed to working on-site with safety as the highest priority, and you collaborate with your team to find well-thought-out solutions from different perspectives.

To succeed in the role of Installation Manager, we believe you are solution-oriented, receptive, and good at creating engagement and a sense of team spirit. You communicate clearly and openly and have a present leadership style.

You have good IT skills and experience with system support for, for example, planning and monitoring. You express yourself well in both Swedish and English, both verbally and in writing. A B-class driver's license is required, and you are positive about traveling and overnight stays for work.
