This role is contributing to the Electrification Distribution Solutions (ELDS) business in Sweden.
You will be mainly accountable for:
- Leading and coordinating project activities throughout the entire project lifecycle.
- Managing project scope, schedule, changes, costs, and quality to achieve project objectives.
- Collaborating closely with customers and our factories and suppliers to ensure effective communication and successful project delivery.
- Acting as the primary point of contact for customers and building long-term, trust-based relationships throughout the project lifecycle.
- Ensuring project documentation, reporting, and compliance with internal processes and customer requirements.
- Participating in Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) and coordinating related activities with internal and external stakeholders.
- Driving continuous improvement initiatives and contributing to efficient project execution within the team.

You will join a collaborative and knowledgeable team where teamwork, technical expertise, and customer focus are key success factors. We support each other, share knowledge, and work together to deliver high-quality solutions to our customers.
Qualifications for the role

You work in a structured and organized way, enabling you to prioritize effectively, manage multiple activities simultaneously, and maintain focus even in complex project environments. You thrive in a dynamic setting where priorities can shift, and you remain solution-oriented and proactive when facing challenges or tight deadlines. As a person, you are driven, take ownership of your work, and are comfortable making decisions that move projects forward.
