About the Company

Vattenfall Eldistribution AB is Vattenfall's electricity grid business and one of Sweden's largest grid companies. We are responsible for a society-critical infrastructure that distributes electricity to more than 900,000 businesses and households. As an employee here, you contribute every day to ensuring society functions and to providing secure electricity supply for future generations. Together, we are building tomorrow's power grid and enabling the transition to a sustainable society. Read more about what it's like to work here.

About the Role

Do you want a meaningful job where you can make a real difference for both society and the energy transition? Here, you are part of a society-critical operation with exciting projects, cutting-edge technology, and colleagues who value each other.

We are currently looking for several experienced Electrical Constructors who want to help build tomorrow's maintenance operations!

We are facing one of Vattenfall Eldistribution's largest investments ever – a historic mobilization to build a stronger, more resilient, and entirely independent capability in maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair. In a time when the external environment places increasingly high demands on robustness and durability, we are taking decisive steps to secure a power grid that can withstand harsh conditions and deliver when needed most.

About the Role

As an Electrical Power Constructor focusing on substations and control equipment, you are a key person in our reinvestment projects within the 0.4–400 kV power grid. You drive the design process from requirements and technical choices to detailed design, procurement documents, and final documentation. The work is carried out primarily in collaboration with our own maintenance organization, meaning you have close dialogue with those who will build, test, and manage the facility. In this role, you also ensure that occupational health and safety are considered at all stages, from design choices and work preparation to implementation and handover.

Your main tasks and responsibilities:

• Produce and quality-assure construction documentation (single-line diagrams, circuit diagrams, connection tables, assembly documentation, and layouts/cabinet layouts).
• Develop technical descriptions and documentation, and provide technical support during implementation.
• Ensure that the design meets requirements, standards, and internal guidelines, and contribute to technical choices and solution discussions.
• Drive documentation all the way to handover, including updates and as-built documentation after construction/commissioning.
• Coordinate and set requirements against contractors/suppliers in parts of the projects where external resources are used.
• As needed, work with relay protection/IED and communication in substation environments, such as IEC 61850, and support related to substation networks.

Requirements

We are looking for someone who is analytical and thrives working with complex technical issues. You have good collaboration skills, are willing to share your competence, and contribute to the team's overall success. At the same time, you are responsible, drive your tasks to completion, and are confident in asking for support when needed.

We would like you to have:

• Post-secondary education in electrical power/electrical engineering (university degree/civil engineer) or equivalent experience-based competence.
• Experience in electrical power construction in a project environment.
• Experience producing construction documentation: single-line diagrams, circuit diagrams, connection tables, assembly documentation, and layouts/cabinet layouts.
• Good CAD skills.
• Structured and quality-conscious, taking responsibility for technical deliveries and thriving in collaboration with many stakeholders.
• Very good knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written.
• Valid driver's license (Category B).

Merits:

• Experience with distribution projects/substation and control facilities.
• Relay protection/IED and IEC 61850 (configuration/testing, e.g., SCD/GOOSE/MMS where relevant).
• Experience with testing/commissioning/troubleshooting of control facilities.
• Experience with procurement documents and technical support during procurement.
• Experience producing as-built documentation and completing documentation after construction.
