Senior Project Controls Lead — Nuclear Tech Programs

Blykalla; Stockholms kommun; On-site; SEK 614,000 - 725,000; Full time

Job summary

Blykalla in Stockholm is seeking a Project Controls Lead to own schedules for two key programs: our electrical test demonstrator and the SEALER design development. You will build and manage integrated schedules with engineering, procurement, and site leads, driving critical decisions and ensuring baseline discipline.

You will collaborate with the US team to shape the project controls function in Sweden, expanding to earned value and risk management as programs mature.

Qualifications

• 4–7 years of planning and scheduling experience in complex technical or engineering-heavy environments (e.g., aerospace, defense, process/chemical plants, energy, or infrastructure). Nuclear experience is a bonus, not a requirement.
• Hands‑on expertise in Primavera P6 and/or Microsoft Project.
• A solid grasp of WBS structures, activity networks, critical path method, baselining, and progress measurement.
• Experience integrating inputs from multiple engineering disciplines and external suppliers into one coherent schedule.
• Clear and structured communication – you can explain the critical path and its consequences to both engineers and executives.
• Fluent in English, spoken and written.
• Fluency in Swedish is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Develop, maintain, and own the integrated project schedules for the electrical test demonstrator and the SEALER design development program.
• Build WBS-based schedules together with engineering, procurement, and site leads – define activities, logic, durations, and resource needs.
• Run critical path and what-if analyses, identify slippage early, and propose recovery options.
• Support and help facilitate technical risk assessment workshops with engineering. No formal risk management background is required, but the ability to ask sharp clarifying questions in unfamiliar technical territory is essential.
• Establish and manage baselines, track progress, and produce clear schedule status reporting for project and executive management.
• Coordinate schedule interfaces across engineering disciplines, suppliers, and partners.
• Help build the project controls function in Sweden – processes, templates, tools, and reporting standards – in collaboration with our US project controls team.
• Grow the scope of the function over time towards cost integration, earned value, and schedule risk management as the projects mature.
