The opportunity
As a Project Engineer in station layer upgrade and modernization projects within HVDC Service, you will take end-to-end responsibility for the technical delivery of station layer systems across all project phases. Your work will play a vital role in modernizing HVDC systems and strengthening critical infrastructure for the future.

The HVDC station layer system encompasses a suite of HVDC applications - including the Human-Machine Interface (HMI) for operator interaction, sequence and event recording for operational monitoring and diagnostics, as well as remote control functionalities utilizing communication protocols. These applications are seamlessly integrated with the underlying IT infrastructure, which comprises network components such as servers, workstations, switches, firewalls, and time synchronization devices. Together, this architecture enables secure, reliable, and efficient supervision, control, and data exchange within the HVDC control and protection system.

“In this role you will have the chance to grow broadly across the station layer system or become an expert in specific domains such as HMI, communication protocols, networking, and IT infrastructure. Our team works on exciting technologies while driving a global portfolio that continues to grow. We believe great work starts with great people. Join us to collaborate on innovative projects, build strong relationships, and grow together in a supportive, team-oriented environment.” - Pernilla Kilström, Engineering Manager HVDC Service - Station Layer in Upgrade Projects.
