Company Description
AFRY provides engineering, design, digital and advisory services. We are devoted experts in industry, energy and infrastructure sectors, creating impact for generations to come. AFRY has Nordic roots with a global reach. Join us in accelerating the transition towards a sustainable society.
AFRY has been working in the nuclear power industry for many decades, successfully delivering thousands of projects internationally while covering the entire life-cycle of nuclear plants.
Our business unit in Sweden is now looking for a group manager to focus on the development of our international nuclear business and software products for simulation modelling/risk assessment. The main focus will be to further develop our international business, which will be done mainly through international sales and project portfolio management. You will also have product ownership of an AFRY software for radiological risks and dose assessments. Depending on your profile, other managerial responsibilities might also be suitable, such as e.g managing of projects and interaction with Swedish customers.
The projects often involve radioactive waste management, remediation strategies and dose assessments, but also nuclear safety support for nations seeking to develop into nuclear power production.
You will be manager for a group of staff, as well as for subconsultants, located in both Sweden and abroad. The role comes with a lot of freedom to lead and develop your own group to enhance the business. Most of our clients are located in the Nordic region, but our projects could be conducted in other parts of the world and with international staff.
This is an exclusive opportunity to be a part of environmentally important projects. You will have the opportunity to learn from international experts worldwide and to work with different cultures. You will report to the section manager and you will be part of the extended management team for business unit Nuclear Sweden where AFRYs core values Brave, Devoted and Team players are key to success. You will also collaborate with AFRY’s Global Nuclear organization.
