The Opportunity
At Hitachi Energy Cooling Systems, we have global responsibility for the development and manufacturing of cooling systems for power electronics and power transmission applications. Our solutions contribute to safe and reliable operation, with customer focus and quality at the core of everything we do.
Driven by the rapidly growing global demand for electricity, our business continues to expand, and we are now looking to strengthen our Electrical & Automation team in Landskrona. This is an opportunity to join a global organization focused on delivering advanced cooling systems for critical energy infrastructure.
As a Project Engineer - Electrical & Automation, you will take technical responsibility for electrical and automation solutions in assigned customer projects. You will work close to customers, internal engineering teams, and production, translating customer requirements into robust and compliant design solutions. While you do not have formal personnel responsibility, you will lead the electrical scope in your projects and coordinate others in the delivery. As our production is located in Landskrona, the role is primarily on‑site, with some flexibility for remote work.

Take technical ownership of electrical and automation scope in assigned projects, ensuring delivery according to time, budget, and quality requirements.
Verify that the electrical design is in accordance with customer specifications, including component selection and solution review.
Design automation cabinets, low‑voltage motor control centres (MCC), and junction boxes (typical voltages: 208/400/480/690 VAC and 24-220 VDC).
Create and work according to quality documentation such as process maps, work instructions, functional descriptions, and guidelines.
Prepare technical specifications for suppliers and manage articles and Bills of Material (BOM) in SAP.
Support factory testing, FAT, supplier evaluations, and commissioning activities (SAT), including occasional travel.
Provide after‑sales technical support through troubleshooting and solution development when needed.
Your background
Solid experience in electrical design and automation within relevant industries such as machine manufacturing, process industry, or water and treatment plants.
Post‑secondary technical education or equivalent professional experience as an electrical designer, project engineer, lead engineer, or similar role.
Proven ability to independently design automation cabinets and motor control systems or other low voltage cabinets using Elprocad or similar electrical CAD tools.
Experience working with redundant and high‑availability solutions (e.g. S2, R1, R2 concepts).
Good knowledge of applicable standards and regulations such as the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC), IEC 61439, IEC 61000‑6‑2 / IEC 61000‑6‑4, and CE certification.
Strong proficiency in technical English, both written and spoken; Swedish language skills are considered a strong advantage.
A structured, communicative, and collaborative mindset, with the ability to take responsibility and lead technical work within projects.
