About the Role

Do you want a meaningful job where you can make a real difference for both society and the energy transition? Here, you are part of a societal-critical operation with exciting projects, cutting-edge technology, and colleagues who value each other.

We are now looking for several experienced Station Technicians who want to help build the maintenance operations of the future!

We are facing one of Vattenfall Eldistribution's largest investments ever – a historic mobilization to build a stronger, more resilient, and entirely in-house capability in maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair. In a time when the external environment places increasingly high demands on robustness and durability, we are taking decisive steps to secure a power grid that can withstand difficult conditions and deliver when it is needed most.

Responsibilities and Tasks

As a Station Technician, you play a central role in ensuring that our power facilities from 0.4 up to 400 kV are safe, available, and ready for future energy needs. In this role, you will have a varied and practical job in the field, combining advanced technical problem-solving with precise digital documentation. Together with colleagues in operations, maintenance, and projects, you contribute to a power grid with high operational security and quality, where your technical expertise makes a real difference in everyday life, both for our facilities and society.

Your main tasks include:

• Performing service, operation, maintenance, construction, and troubleshooting in substations and power facilities.
• Conducting rounds, inspections, and controls according to established maintenance programs and reporting deviations.
• Working according to ESA, EBR, and current safety procedures, as well as participating in risk assessments and work preparations.
• Performing maintenance, repairs, and connections on switchgear equipment, such as transformers, circuit breakers, disconnectors, tap changers, battery systems, as well as work with thermography and earth resistance testing, etc.
• Minor reconstructions and fault corrections may be included in the role.
• Documenting completed work and handling work orders in our digital systems.
• Contributing to the development of working methods and routines for increased safety and quality.

The role involves a strong focus on safety, quality, progress, and engagement. Safety is the guiding star in everything we do; in a hazardous environment, we take care of each other and create security together.

The work is carried out under the direction of a maintenance manager. Travel within the area and on-call duties may be included as a natural part of the assignment.

Requirements

We are looking for you who have good technical understanding, a high level of safety awareness, and interest in working in complex power facilities. You are structured, meticulous, and take responsibility for both quality and safety in your work.

We would prefer that you have:

• Upper secondary education in power/electricity or equivalent higher vocational education (YH).
• Experience as a station technician, power technician, distribution electrician, industrial electrician, or similar.
• Fluent Swedish in speech and writing.
• Category B driver's license.

It is an advantage if you have good ability to read drawings, electrical diagrams, and technical documentation, as well as a basic understanding of control, protection, and monitoring systems.

Additional Information

We offer an exciting workday and a good work-life balance at an attractive workplace with good opportunities for development. We work in a safe and motivating work environment, with a strong and positive culture characterized by care for everyone.
