The electrification of society is accelerating faster than ever. New substations, data centres, renewable energy projects and grid investments are being built across Finland to support the green transition, and behind every successful project is a Site Manager who keeps everything moving safely, efficiently and to the highest quality standards.
At Eltel, you'll join one of the leading infrastructure companies in the Nordics, delivering critical energy infrastructure for some of the largest industrial and international customers in the market.
We're looking for a technically strong and proactive Site Manager who enjoys taking ownership, solving problems and leading complex construction sites where quality and safety are non-negotiable.
As a Site Manager, you will be responsible for the day-to-day management of electrical substation and data centre power infrastructure projects throughout Southern Finland.
Working closely with the Project Manager, you'll oversee site execution from planning through completion, ensuring work progresses according to schedule, meets customer requirements, and complies with electrical standards and HSEQ requirements.
This is a visible role where you'll coordinate subcontractors, supervise installation quality, solve challenges on site, and act as the key link between the project team, customers and partners.
While the Project Manager is responsible for the commercial success of the project, you will be the person ensuring everything on site runs safely, efficiently and according to plan.
Lead daily site operations for electrical infrastructure projects
Coordinate subcontractors and installation teams
Ensure work complies with Finnish electrical standards (SFS 6000 series) and customer specifications
Monitor quality, safety, schedules and site progress
Identify risks and proactively solve issues before they impact delivery
Participate in site meetings and communicate with customers, partners and project stakeholders
Support the Project Manager with planning, reporting and project execution
Ensure HSEQ requirements are met throughout the project lifecycle
Help maintain Eltel's high standards of workmanship and safety across every project
We're looking for someone who combines strong technical understanding with practical leadership skills. You don't necessarily need decades of experience, we're equally interested in ambitious professionals who have already gained responsibility on construction sites and are ready to take the next step in their career.
Ideally you have:
Background in electrical engineering or electrical construction
Bachelor's level degree in electrical or construction engineering
Experience supervising construction sites, installation teams or subcontractors
Good understanding of electrical substations, power distribution or high-voltage infrastructure
Ability to interpret technical documentation, standards and specifications
Strong organisational skills and the ability to keep multiple workstreams moving simultaneously
Excellent communication skills and confidence working with customers and contractors
A proactive mindset with strong problem-solving abilities
Fluency in Finnish and good English skills
Experience with electrical substation construction
Experience in data centre or infrastructure projects
Knowledge of SFS 6000 standards
S1 or S2 electrical qualification
Experience working in large infrastructure, industrial or energy projects
The role is based in Southern Finland. Project sites are primarily located across Southern Finland, and on-site presence is required.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a business experiencing significant growth within Finland's rapidly expanding energy infrastructure market.
You'll work on technically demanding projects that directly support the country's electrification while becoming part of a collaborative organisation where people are trusted with responsibility and encouraged to develop.
At Eltel, roles continue to evolve alongside the business. If you have the right attitude, technical foundation and willingness to learn, there are excellent opportunities to grow into increasingly responsible project management roles.
