Power Engineer

Welcome to Solkompaniet – Sweden’s Market Leader in Large-Scale Solar Energy
For over 10 years, we’ve been driving the industry forward, and yet we’re just getting started. We help businesses, property owners, investors, and landowners in Sweden achieve sustainability goals and increase revenue through solar power, energy storage, and balancing services. As a comprehensive provider, we support our customers every step of the way—from planning and consulting to installation and service.

About the Role

We are now looking for a Power Engineer who shares our passion for solar energy and wants to contribute to our focus on large-scale solar parks and energy storage. We work on the country’s largest projects, and among your colleagues are some of the foremost experts in the solar energy sector. With our diverse skill sets, we complement one another to deliver the best possible quality.

As a Power Engineer, you will be responsible for designing cabling, transformers/switchgear, relay protection, selectivity plans, and compliance with the RfG (Requirements for Generators). You’ll collaborate closely with your Power Engineer colleague, where your expertise will play a key role in maintaining our leadership in large-scale solar parks. As our energy storage business grows, you’ll also have opportunities to engage in analytical work on future energy storage integrations. Internally, you’ll work closely with project planners, project managers, and procurement, while externally collaborating with grid operators and suppliers.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, dimension, and set requirements for cabling, transformers, and switchgear for solar parks and energy storage systems.
• Define requirements and follow up with RfG consultants.
• Execute and set requirements for selectivity plans.
• Simulate solar parks and energy storage systems, focusing on PQ diagrams.
• Perform Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) with suppliers to ensure accuracy in orders.
• Prequalify new suppliers in collaboration with procurement.
• Investigate connection possibilities for projects.
• Continuously evaluate and improve work processes.

Who Are You?

We’re looking for someone with strong collaboration skills and self-motivation in their work. What you don’t already know, you’re eager to learn. You thrive in a dynamic environment where you constantly improve and push forward. With your analytical skills, precision, and ability to create structure, you inspire trust in those around you. You have a strong technical interest and enjoy sharing your knowledge with your colleagues. Like us, you see no contradiction between humility and high ambitions.

We believe you also have:

• Relevant education in the field.
• 5+ years of experience in the power engineering field, including work with switchgear, relay protection, and commissioning of installations.
• Experience in dimensioning switchgear and relay protection.
• Fluency in Swedish and English, both spoken and written.

Meritorious Experience

• Knowledge of energy storage, FAT, and RfG.
• Industry experience in solar, hydropower, wind power, or working within the transmission network.
• Certification in low and/or high voltage.

Location: Stockholm, Gothenburg, or Västerås.
