Vacant job

Do you have a mechanical interest and a keen sense for technology? Here you have the opportunity to take on an operational role within the nuclear power industry. We warmly welcome your application before someone else takes the chance!

About the role

Forsmark Nuclear Power Plant is Sweden's largest electricity producer, generating one-sixth of the country's total electricity consumption. Forsmark's vision is to deliver fossil-free electricity every day, all year round. As a technician in mechanical maintenance, this vision becomes clear as you are responsible every day for ensuring that maintenance meets the quality required for safe and stable operation.

As a maintenance technician in mechanics, you will be part of an operational maintenance group at Forsmark 1. The group is responsible for preventive, corrective, and regulatory mechanical maintenance on the reactor and turbine facilities, as well as associated auxiliary systems, such as pumps, valves, heat exchangers, diesel engines, and tanks.

The work is mostly planned and preventive, but corrective measures are also carried out. You will generally always work together with a colleague, often in close collaboration with operations, supervisors, and other technical areas. Maintenance tasks can be completed the same day or be larger projects lasting several weeks, in which case more colleagues will assist. You will join a group with good morale, comprising people of different ages and a mix of experiences.

Since the work takes place in industrial operating environments, safety, order, and correct working methods are crucial.
