Vacant job

We believe that progress and opportunities are best created together. Welcome to a place where collaboration makes a difference.

Do you want to lead exciting projects at the forefront of technology? Saab Dynamics in Karlskoga is looking for a Project Manager who wants to take responsibility for driving our production and development projects forward. Here you will combine technology, quality, and leadership in a key role where you contribute to both our success and that of our customers.

Your Role

The role of Project Manager involves driving production projects related to development, capacity enhancement, and the relocation of production sections at Dynamics. The goal is to ensure our customers receive their products on time and with the right quality. You will lead and coordinate project members within production technology, planning, purchasing, production quality, and other production resources, while also maintaining contact with the business unit and development teams.

Your main responsibilities include planning, coordinating, and leading industrialization and/or capacity-enhancing projects in collaboration with the Development Project team. As part of the work, you are responsible for achieving, reporting, and following up on project goals and metrics, as well as identifying and managing risks within the projects. Understanding the challenges of different cultures within different organizations or nationalities is a crucial part of your work, as is creating and maintaining good relationships with all relevant stakeholders and regularly reporting the project status to the steering group.

The position is located in Karlskoga, and you will become part of our project office, which connects production commitments with the Business Unit Ground Combat.

Your Profile

We are looking for someone who is accustomed to leading, organizing, and taking responsibility, and who thrives in an environment where both people and structure are in focus. You have several years of experience in project management, preferably in a manufacturing or technical environment, and you are used to driving complex assignments from start to finish. Perhaps you have previously worked in the process industry or another form of production, where you have learned to understand the challenges and opportunities at the intersection of technology, quality, and delivery.

You have a good technical understanding, preferably with an engineering degree or equivalent work experience. To succeed in this role, you need to be able to switch between operational and strategic levels. You have the ability to see the big picture while ensuring daily operations run smoothly. You enjoy taking initiative, creating structure, and leading others toward common goals. Your communication skills enable you to easily build trust both internally and externally, and you have no problem collaborating with different parts of the organization.

The role involves many stakeholders, both within Sweden and internationally, so you must be able to express yourself fluently in both Swedish and English, in both speech and writing. Since you may need to travel between our different sites, it is also important that you have a valid driver's license (Category B).

Here you will have significant responsibility, but also the opportunity to influence and develop. If you have experience from production management, production technology, or specific knowledge of our products, it is certainly an advantage, but most importantly, we want the right person with the right drive, attitude, and willingness to contribute.

The position requires you to undergo and pass the security clearance checks according to current regulations. For positions where Saab requires security classification, this may, in some cases, entail citizenship requirements.
