About the role

Vattenfall Services' corporate culture is characterized by safety and entrepreneurial spirit where creativity, independence and result orientation are key concepts. We work customer-oriented in a goal- and project-oriented organization.

Do you want to be part of Sweden's leading contracting company in the energy and power sector? Vattenfall Services continues to grow in the engineering field and now we are planning for continued expansion with a new manager for our newly started department Communication/Opto South.

The department is an engineering department that works in Communication/Opto within electricity distribution. Our engineers have expertise in RTUs, opto, radio, Rakel and other remote communications. The department's employees are mainly stationed in Uppsala, the Stockholm area and Trollhättan. The communication engineers are currently one with the technical departments, but as we are in an expansive phase, they are now shared with the plan to grow further in a newly started department.

As a manager, you are responsible for 25-30 employees where the department's main work is south of the Dalälven. We work in close cooperation with other businesses within Vattenfall Services, therefore other assignments can also be part of everyday life.

• Development of existing employees but also actively work to become more in the department.

The department is part of Vattenfall Services' national Business Area Stations Technology. You will report to the Business Area Manager and be part of his/her management team, together with managers in other regions with similar challenges. In this management team, there are good opportunities to contribute to the continued growth and development of the entire business area.

We offer you a very exciting and challenging opportunity, to use your skills and experience to drive Vattenfall Services' energy transition towards a fossil-free future.
