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.
The chapters below under “ How you’ll make an impact” and “ Your Background” is to some extent a wish-list from our perspective, if you have parts of them or think you don’t have all the qualifications necessary, apply and let us decide if we can provide you with a future here with us.
We are now looking for several Project Engineers in control and protection software integration, part of HVDC in Hitachi Energy in Ludvika. At HVDC you will create a sustainable future by providing efficient ways to transport electrical power. If you are ready to meet the technological challenges within control and protection systems – together with a team of driven junior engineers and senior experts representing about 43 nationalities – then you can expect an equally exciting and ever-changing time ahead of you.
How you’ll make an impact
Create concept design for our customized control and protection systems.
Work with detailed design, system integration and test-based development.
Perform verification of our control and protection schemes – executed in test rooms and on-site.
Collaboration is, in other words, a central part of your new position that will provide you with a great starting point in our organization with possibilities of further career opportunities. It will also give you the benefit to travel globally during the commissioning period at the end of each project.
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.
Fluency in English, both written and spoken. Swedish is a merit.

Fantastic career possibilities within Hitachi Energy both within Sweden and globally
