Job Description

We are looking for an Automation Engineer with extensive experience in Siemens SIMATIC PCS 7 and process-oriented automation systems. The role involves working with the design, configuration, and implementation of DCS solutions in projects ranging from the concept phase through FAT/SAT to commissioning. You will be involved in the entire lifecycle – from requirements analysis and system architecture to programming, testing, and documentation. Typical tasks include:

• System design and programming of DCS/PLC/SCADA solutions
• Migration and upgrading of existing automation platforms
• Integration of field instrumentation, networks, and communication protocols (e.g., Profibus, Profinet, OPC UA)
• Conducting verification and validation according to current standards
• Delivery of functional responsibilities and complete system solutions

Work is performed both at customer sites and in our in-house projects, where you collaborate with multidisciplinary teams within Automation West – a segment with approximately 60 engineers and technical specialists in Gothenburg and Varberg. We work according to established project models and use tools such as COMOS, TIA Portal, WinCC, and PCS 7 Engineering System.

Qualifications

You are an analytical and solution-oriented engineer with a strong understanding of systems and experience working in complex project environments. You have a good ability to translate specifications into technical solutions and are comfortable documenting according to standardized methods. You thrive working in parallel project streams and have a structured approach to work.

We are looking for someone who has:

• A degree as a Civil Engineer or University Engineer, or from a University College of Engineering, or equivalent experience and knowledge.
• Several years of experience in designing and implementing process automation systems.
• In-depth competence in Siemens SIMATIC PCS 7.
• Experience with other DCS/PLC/SCADA platforms (e.g., ABB 800xA, Emerson DeltaV, Honeywell).
• A valid driver's license (Category B) and some possibility to travel within Sweden.
• Very good communication skills in Swedish and English, both oral and written.

Meritorious:

• Experience with model-based simulation (e.g., SIMIT, MATLAB/Simulink).
• Experience with system upgrades and migration of legacy systems.
• Knowledge of ISA-88/ISA-95 and standards for industrial automation.

The position may require you to work in our security-classified projects. This means that a security check will be conducted according to Swedish legislation on security protection. To meet the requirements, you must hold a citizenship that follows the provisions of the Security Protection Ordinance, and no obstacles may exist according to the criteria for security clearance.

Additional Information

At AFRY, you will have access to a technically advanced work environment with the opportunity to work on projects with high complexity and technical breadth. We offer:

• The opportunity to be involved from the early stages of team building and the chance to become highly skilled in DCS and the process industry.
• Individual development plans with certifications and courses in automation, cybersecurity, and system design.
• Collective agreement benefits, fitness allowances, and insurance solutions.
• Access to Club AFRY – our employee club with activities that promote networking and well-being.
