Preem has now become VAROPreem - a leading European energy company formed through the merger of Varo Energy and Preem AB.
Are you looking to work in a technically advanced process industry where you can take on a clear specialist responsibility, influence technical solutions over time, and contribute to the development of electrical systems that are critical to safe and stable operations?
With us, you will have the opportunity to combine deep technical expertise with long-term development work in an environment where your competence has a direct impact on safety, reliability, and future energy solutions
About the role
As an Electrical Engineer, you will take on a specialist position within electrical power engineering, working to develop, assure, and improve electrical systems in a complex refinery environment.
The role includes responsibility for advancing technical solutions, ways of working, and methodologies within the electrical domain, with a clear focus on electrical safety and operational availability. You will operate at the interface between operations, maintenance, and projects, contributing both operationally and strategically to matters critical to the facility's performance and long-term development.
Key responsibilities
What we offer
You will be part of VAROPreem, an organization where technical expertise, accountability, and continuous development are core values. You will work in an international industrial environment with high standards for safety, availability, and quality-where your expertise will have a direct impact on both production performance and future energy solutions.
This is an opportunity to work in one of the most advanced process industries in the Nordics and contribute to the development of future energy systems.
Your background
We are looking for a university graduate in electrical power engineering, electrical engineering, or a related field, who has developed solid experience working with industrial electrical systems in continuous operations.
You have likely worked in process industries such as refining, petrochemicals, energy production, combined heat and power, or other capital-intensive industries where high technical availability, robust electrical safety, and regulatory compliance are business-critical.
You bring a broad and in-depth technical understanding of electrical systems from an operations, maintenance, and lifecycle perspective, and are comfortable working in environments where failures in power supply, distribution systems, or critical electrical components have immediate impact on production, safety, asset integrity, and cost.
We believe you have:
Who you are
You are an experienced electrical engineer who thrives in a role where you can take responsibility of asset management in a complex industrial environment.
You work in a structured and quality-driven manner, particularly in contexts where safety, availability, and compliance are critical. At the same time, you have a strong interest in developing both technology and ways of working, and you actively contribute to continuous improvement.
You have strong analytical skills, make well-founded decisions, and are able to translate your expertise into practical, value-creating solutions.
As the role involves close collaboration across multiple functions, you are confident in contributing your expertise in dialogue with colleagues and stakeholders throughout the organization.
Next steps
We look forward to receiving your application as soon as possible, but no later than 21st of June 2026.
Please apply by submitting your CV and completing the screening questions. To ensure an objective and fair selection process, we use assessment tests as part of the recruitment process.
As we apply continuous selection, the position may be filled before the final application date.
If you have any questions about the role, please contact Robert Karlsson, Head of Technology, robert.karlsson@varopreem.se
If you have any questions about the recruitment process Hanna Gahnhed, HR Recruitment Partner, see contact below.
As Preem operates critical infrastructure, background checks as well as alcohol and drug testing are conducted prior to employment offers. At the interview stage, you are required to present valid identification (passport or national ID card, or a population registration certificate together with a valid driver's license).
Parts of the business are security-sensitive, and security clearance including background checks may be required in accordance with applicable security protection legislation.
