Our segment, Automation West at AFRY, is today three closely cooperating sections with about 60 colleagues located in Varberg and Gothenburg who work together in a broad competence group in technology, automation, electrical design and sustainability. We are a great bunch of people with high ceilings who value each other's differences and skills! We think it's important to have fun at work, to share lessons and challenges and to want to develop - we feel best and perform best when we do it as a team.
