Job Description

AFRY Advanced Automation in Borlänge is part of AFRY's initiative to deliver innovative and sustainable automation solutions to the industry, with a special focus on Siemens SIMATIC PCS7. We work closely with our customers to create efficient, safe, and future-proof systems that contribute to increased productivity and reduced environmental impact.

Our team consists of engaged specialists within automation, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and project management. Together, we work with advanced PCS7-based solutions, where competence development and collaboration are central.

We are looking for an Automation Engineer who wants to drive the development of advanced automation solutions with a focus on PCS7 within our projects.

Your area of responsibility is to ensure the automation requirements in ongoing assignments, where you sometimes follow the entire project process – from customer idea and pre-sales support to commissioned plant – and sometimes contribute specialist competence within Siemens PCS7 in specific parts of the project.

You will also work as a sub-project manager, which means responsibility for planning, coordination, and follow-up of the automation part of our projects, with specific responsibility for deliveries related to PCS7 solutions. The work takes place both locally from our office in Borlänge and in collaboration with AFRY's other organization. A large part of our projects are within the steel and energy sectors, where PCS7 is a central platform.

The work weeks are varied. Some projects run for longer periods and involve continuity in work with PCS7 systems, while other weeks consist of shorter interventions such as optimization, troubleshooting, or upgrades in different plants. You will work closely with our automation team in Borlänge, where knowledge exchange regarding PCS7 is a central part of everyday life.

We see that you take a leading role in our automation assignments, with a high level of responsibility and good collaboration skills. The role also involves acting as a mentor for junior colleagues within PCS7 and contributing to the team's technical development.

At AFRY, there is a strong network of competence forums that connect our PCS7 specialists across the entire organization. Here you have the opportunity to build relationships, share knowledge, and develop within new technology areas related to the Siemens platform. System development is moving forward quickly, and our customers' PCS7 environments will continuously need to be upgraded and further developed. Therefore, you need to be open to learning new technologies and versions within the PCS7 ecosystem. The role is not security classified at present, but may involve security classified assignments in the future.

Qualifications

In this role, it is important that you have a strong sense of planning and structure. You work methodically and are accustomed to handling complex system environments, such as Siemens PCS7, where you break down tasks into clear steps and ensure quality in the delivery. Attention to detail and focus on specifics are a natural part of your working style.

We also value integrity. You prioritize the team's and organization's goals and always act professionally, especially in deliveries where PCS7 is business-critical for the customer's operations.

Finally, communication is a key competency. You express yourself openly and honestly, listen to others' perspectives, and create dialogue – both internally and in customer collaborations where you often act as a technical expert within PCS7.

Requirements

• Relevant experience within industrial automation with a clear focus on Siemens SIMATIC PCS7
• Relevant formal education within automation or equivalent practical experience
• Good system knowledge in PCS7 (design, programming, commissioning)
• Language skills: Swedish and English in speech and writing

Merits

• Engineering degree in electrical/automation with an industrial focus
• Experience working in project form, preferably in a leading role within automation projects based on PCS7
• Experience of upgrades and migrations of PCS7 systems
• Experience of acting as a lead engineer and supporting junior colleagues
• Experience of integrating PCS7 against drive systems or other industrial systems
• Experience from projects within the steel, metal, or energy sector

Further Information
