About the role

Our client is a central player in the energy transition, working to develop a robust and future-proof electricity grid in Sweden. In the regional grid in northern Sweden, there is a rapidly growing influx of projects, ranging from large solar and wind farms, industrial investments, data centers, and battery storage. At the same time, long-term planning for reinvestments in existing infrastructure is required to ensure capacity and operational security over time.

As a Grid Planner, you will become a central part of the work shaping the future regional grid in Norrland. You will work in a highly competent team where you independently drive your own projects, investigations, and simulations to ensure the grid's capacity and availability for new customer connections.
