Vacant job

Do you want to develop in a modern, highly automated production environment where you work with everything from robots and scanners to chain drives and advanced control technology? Scan Sweden in Kristianstad is the region's largest private employer and is now strengthening its maintenance team with more automation technicians.

At Scan Sweden, you will have an exciting role in a competent team. Here you will have the opportunity to develop through further education, grow with innovative automation solutions, and enjoy benefits such as a wellness allowance and attractive employee discounts.

Your responsibilities

As an automation technician, you will become part of a cohesive maintenance team and work closely with both mechanics and production. Here you will have a varied daily routine where you:

• Troubleshoot and optimize robots, scanners, chain drives, as well as advanced packaging and sorting equipment.
• Work with both preventive and corrective maintenance supported by the maintenance system Maintmaster.
• Follow up on downtime and drive forward solutions that increase availability and operational reliability.
• Actively participate in exciting automation projects and new investments.
• Contribute to the long-term development of Scan Sweden's highly automated production environment.

Your profile

We are looking for someone who has:

• A foundation in electrical engineering and automation, preferably a high school or vocational (YH) education in the field.
• Experience as an automation technician or industrial electrician, or the willingness to take the step into automation with the right background and interest.
• Knowledge in control and regulation technology, PLC, and HMI (merits with Siemens or Mitsubishi).
• Experience or interest in preventive maintenance, troubleshooting, and problem-solving in industrial systems.

For this position, the right attitude is just as important as long experience. Are you curious, want to grow within automation, and have an electrical background – then this could be your chance! As a person, you are solution-oriented, responsible, and thrive in a role where both technology and collaboration are in focus.
