The Opportunity

At the Surge Arresters unit in Ludvika, we produce and sell surge arresters. New products are developed here, and the markets are located both in Sweden and in other parts of the world. An arrester protects against overvoltages and is an essential part of a reliable and energy-efficient power system. At the Capacitors unit, we assemble customer-specific medium and high-voltage capacitors for reactive power compensation and harmonic filtering, as well as manufacturing DC capacitors for HVDC applications worldwide. Both operations have a high degree of automation with numerous robots, winding machines, electrical testing, process furnaces, fixtures, etc., and we produce around the clock in several shifts.

The role is based in Ludvika and is a day-time position.
