The management currently has approximately 200 solar power plants and is facing continued expansion with the goal of producing 35 GWh of solar power by 2030. At the same time, you will be an important part of the development of future energy systems where issues such as battery storage, flexibility, power control, energy sharing, and data-driven energy system optimization become increasingly important. With us, you have the opportunity to influence development in one of Sweden's largest public property portfolios and contribute to Gothenburg City's goal of a climate-neutral and resource-efficient society.

Responsibilities:

• Participate in the management's strategic energy work to optimize energy use, power consumption, energy costs, and climate impact at both the building and system levels
• Lead, coordinate, and follow up on the management's solar energy program
• Prepare materials, feasibility studies, and profitability analyses for measures and investments in the energy area, with a special focus on solar energy and solar power plants
• Provide specialist support in energy and solar cells in construction and management projects, as well as review documentation and technical solutions
• Be responsible for technical requirements and instructions (TKA) in the solar energy area and lead the management's technical expert team in solar cells
• Initiate and drive development projects in the energy area with a focus on, for example, solar cells, battery storage, power and flexibility solutions, energy communities, as well as digital tools and AI-based energy system optimization
• Monitor the external environment and translate new knowledge in the energy area into practical solutions for the management's operations

Qualifications

We are looking for you who have a relevant technical university education as well as several years of experience working in the energy area.

It is meritorious if you have experience with energy efficiency, energy analyses, as well as knowledge in battery storage, power issues, energy control, and building construction.

To succeed in the role, you are structured and analytical with the ability to translate complex issues into clear materials, requirements, and recommendations. You work independently and take responsibility for driving investigations, analyses, and development issues. At the same time, you thrive in a supporting role where you contribute specialist competence to project managers, property managers, and other colleagues in the operations as well as in construction projects. You also have a good ability to work cross-disciplinarily and collaborate with other technical areas, such as construction, electricity, and fire.

We are looking for you who is development-oriented and can identify improvement and development opportunities within the energy area. You have an interest in future energy systems and follow the development within solar energy, energy storage, power optimization, and digital solutions. You have a good overall view and the ability to weigh together technical, economic, and environmental perspectives to contribute to the operations and the city's long-term goals.
