About the Role

Are you an engaged problem-solver who thrives in an exciting environment characterized by collaboration, knowledge sharing, and safety?

We are now looking for a colleague for a developmental and interesting position within I&C (Instrumentation and Control) in the Instrument Maintenance group (NMK12) at Forsmark Kraftgrupp.

The Instrument Maintenance unit is responsible for maintaining process systems where equipment can be both analog and digital. The group for Forsmark 1 and 2 consists of approximately 17 employees with varying backgrounds and educational levels, including technicians, maintenance engineers, team leaders, and group managers. Within the unit, there are also positions such as system engineer and process engineer, offering excellent opportunities for competence development and career advancement.

Your Responsibilities

Your main tasks consist of preventive and corrective maintenance of our data systems. You will actively participate in operational work together with the rest of the group. You will be involved in troubleshooting and evaluating performed maintenance measures. The role also includes participation in renewal projects, where our responsibilities include software construction and testing.

Here you will have the opportunity for varied and enjoyable work, where you work both independently and in a team. Since we often work on live equipment, you will gain a good understanding of the processes, but it requires you to be focused and quality-conscious.

On-call duty is included in the position and will become relevant when you feel confident and have reached a certain level of experience. A valid B-driver's license is therefore a requirement.

• We look for candidates with at least a high school education in the technical field and a genuine interest in computers.
• Good knowledge and experience in Linux, Windows, and/or control systems such as ABB 800xA or Siemens is preferred.
• You should have experience working with and troubleshooting various types of hardware. Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills in safety-critical environments are highly valued.
• We view positively if you have an understanding of programming and networking.

The role includes administrative work, and you need to have experience or interest in documenting your work effectively. In addition to good knowledge of Swedish in speech and writing, you must also be able to read and understand technical English.

Merits

• University degree in Data, Electronics, or Maintenance.
• Experience in instrument maintenance within the process industry.

As a Person

We are looking for someone who is driven, has good interpersonal skills, values relationships, and enjoys working with others. You have strong analytical abilities and are driven by a genuine interest in technology and a desire to learn new things. The work can be event-driven in many situations, requiring flexibility. Since we work closely together as a group, it is important that you value good collaboration and contribute to a positive team climate.

What We Offer

An opportunity for varied and rewarding work where you operate both independently and in a group. Working on live equipment will give you a deep understanding of the processes. At Vattenfall, you have opportunities for competence development and career advancement within the group.
