The opportunity
My name is Andrew Carruthers, and hope to be your new manager here in Ludvika. I manage the software department called “Sequence and Interlocking”, which is responsible for providing a safe and reliable operation of the switchgear in a HVDC station. This means we solve interlocking principles, status configurations, automated switching sequences and “ready for” conditions among many other things and we are a vital part of any HVDC station.
My responsibility as your manager is to provide a culture of inclusion, respect and learning, so it feels exciting, challenging, fun and fulfilling when coming to work.
We actively work on both soft skills and support each other in technical challenges and problems. “Team work at its best”, is our goal.

Lead a technical area and be part of a dedicated project team, in which we work together throughout all phases of our extensive projects.
As an experienced engineer you would be part of a technical expert team providing guidance to junior engineers in technical issues and drive technical discussions with customers.
Your background
You hold a university degree within a relevant technical area along with competence within system design or electrical expertise.
As minimum 5 years work experience in control and protection systems or HVDC or other related experience.
It is an advantage if you have worked with commissioning of control and protection systems or if you have experience with control and protection system of HVDC project.
Other valuable experience is earlier work with AC relays or digital protections.
You have what it takes to plan and organize your own workday.
You are a driven problem solver who eagerly takes initiatives and always delivers on time and according to expectations.
In this position you are expected to be away abroad for periods of time.
