Job description

The opportunity

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Project Manager to oversee and deliver complex projects within Hitachi Energy Sweden AB. This role involves end-to-end project lifecycle management, ensuring projects are completed on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards, while fostering strong client relationships.

Take the opportunity to become our next Project Manager at HV Components Surge Arresters in Ludvika. As a Project Manager for our delivery projects to customers, you play a key role in our organization, with daily opportunities to collaborate with both local and global teams. In our project management team, you quickly take on significant responsibility and are entrusted with broad authority. We are a smaller organization, and although on paper we are a product supplier, parts of our deliveries are more akin to plant or installation projects. As a Project Manager, you therefore have a very important role in leading, driving, and delivering on what has been agreed with the customer. “As a Project Manager, you play a crucial role in ensuring successful delivery to our customers,” says Helena Eriksson, Order/Project Manager, HV Components Surge Arresters.

How You’ll Make An Impact

• Lead and deliver multiple projects simultaneously from initiation to closure, including scope definition, planning, execution, monitoring, and control.
• Develop and maintain detailed project plans covering schedules, resources, risk management, and communication.
• Manage project budgets and financial performance, ensuring targets are met and providing regular reporting to stakeholders.
• Identify, assess, and mitigate project risks and issues, implementing contingency plans when required.
• Coordinate and communicate effectively with internal teams, clients, external stakeholders, and subcontractors to ensure project success and client satisfaction.
• Report project progress and outcomes to senior management and clients, ensure compliance with company policies and industry regulations, and contribute to continuous improvement while supporting junior team members.

Your Background

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Business Administration, or Project Management.
• Minimum 5 years of project management experience, preferably within the energy, industrial, or technology sectors, including responsibility for large budgets (e.g. >5 MSEK).
• Solid understanding of project management methodologies (PMP or similar certifications are a plus).
• Strong leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to handle multiple priorities under pressure.
• Fluent in English (written and spoken); Swedish is a strong advantage, along with strong analytical and problem‑solving skills.
