Company description

AFRY is a leading European company with global reach in technology, design and consulting. We accelerate the transition towards a sustainable society. We are 19,000 dedicated experts in infrastructure, industry, energy and digitalization, creating sustainable solutions for future generations.

At the Advanced Automation section in Gothenburg and Varberg, we are about 55 colleagues with a common interest in technology, automation, electrical design and sustainability. We work in various roles, including technical project managers, automation engineers and electrical designers. Our team has grown over the past few years and our backgrounds and competencies differ and complement each other. 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. We now want to continue to grow with more colleagues as we see a great need for our expertise in the market and with our customers in the future. We are therefore recruiting colleagues in several areas to our section right now; project management, electrical design and automation.

In the section, we work with really exciting projects where we contribute with expertise and knowledge for technology-intensive automation services to our customers. Locally, we work with the market's largest customers in exciting projects that are partly run in-house in our own project operations and partly at our customers. Our customers and assignments are found in a number of sectors, but mainly in industry, infrastructure and energy, and we run future projects in areas such as production and research and development. In some projects you follow the client's standard and in some projects you set the standard; your expertise is therefore crucial to the success of our clients and AFRY.
