Job description

Overview

Your day as a mechanical design manager will always focus on the continuous development of your team of designers, but it will also involve cross‑functional discussions about our projects, processes, and tools. You will work alongside project managers to pave the way for project members in their work. The daily work as a group manager is highly flexible and needs to be adapted to the team’s needs. A typical day might start with a check‑in with the team to ensure everyone has what they need for their daily tasks. You might then collaborate with one of your interfaces to find a better way of working, followed by a continuous dialogue meeting with a colleague to check in and discuss personal development. After lunch, you might sit down with project managers to discuss resource allocation for upcoming projects before moving on to a discussion with the management team about strategic topics for the next six months.

You will lead the group that designs combustion systems with the goal of low emissions and green fuels as part of a sustainable energy transition.

Responsibilities

• Lead the mechanical design group, fostering a culture of collaboration and personal development for your team members.
• Build strong partnerships with your interfaces such as production, procurement, and other R&D groups.
• Take personnel responsibility for your group, ensuring the right competencies are in place to carry out all planned activities.
• Promote psychological safety and a good work environment where people can thrive and grow.
• As mechanical design manager, you are responsible for the quality of our product documentation including drawings.
• Strategically lead the work to improve our processes and tools.

Qualifications

• As a leader, you build trust and collaboration around yourself and within your team. You enjoy working with people and are happy when those around you succeed.
• You are strategic, with a genuine interest in leadership, personnel development, and excellent communication skills.
• You have the ability to build networks and communicate in all directions. You value diverse experiences and cultures and work with inclusion to ensure you benefit from a diverse team.
• You have good understanding of mechanical design and the product development process for medium‑size gas turbines.
• You take pride in solving challenges together, focusing on solutions and how to achieve them collaboratively.

Team

The team consists of an experienced, harmonious group with six permanent employees and at least as many consultants in Sweden and India. We are in a growth phase and expect to onboard several new employees in the coming years. The group is made up of innovative individuals who believe in low emissions and green fuels. We design world‑class combustion systems for gas turbines.

Benefits

Employment benefits include reduced working hours, advance vacation, health care allowance, and the possibility for flexible working arrangements.

Location: Finspång.
