At NewCold in Helsingborg, we are currently seeking an Automation Engineer who wants to lead technical projects within automation and contribute to ensuring that our state-of-the-art facility continues to be one of the most advanced in the world.
About the Role
As an Automation Engineer, you will become a central part of our team in Helsingborg. Here, you will work at the heart of our highly automated operations, where advanced technology meets large volumes of goods in a continuously dynamic environment. You will be responsible for driving and developing projects that impact the entire facility's functionality—from initial ideas and requirements to commissioning and optimizing finished solutions.
The role combines technical depth with project management and collaboration. You will work closely with operations, maintenance, and international colleagues, and have the opportunity to influence both how we operate here in Helsingborg and how we develop our processes globally.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Project Management: Leading technical automation projects from start to finish—planning, implementation, follow-up, and closure.
- Requirement Specification: Formulating clear functional descriptions and specifications for new solutions.
- System Integration: Ensuring that PLC, SCADA, WMS, WCS, and other IT systems work seamlessly together.
- Testing & Validation: Participating in risk analyses, FAT/SAT, and commissioning to guarantee quality and safety.
- Supplier Coordination: Ordering, specifying requirements, and following up on suppliers' work.
- Analysis & Improvement: Initiating tests and capacity measurements, identifying bottlenecks, and optimizing performance.
- Documentation: Ensuring that manuals, schematics, and procedures are developed and handed over to operations and maintenance.
- Continuous Development: Working on continuous improvements to increase availability, efficiency, and reliability in automation.
Who Are You?
We are looking for someone who wants to combine their technical interest with the ability to drive projects forward. You have a post-secondary education in automation, electrical engineering, or mechanical engineering, and several years of experience in a role as an Automation Engineer or Technical Project Manager in logistics, warehousing, or industrial production.
You have knowledge of PLC logic, can interpret control and electrical schematics, and have experience integrating automation systems. Additionally, you are accustomed to working with risk analyses, testing (FAT/SAT), and financial analyses like ROI. You are fluent in both Swedish and English, both spoken and written.
As a person, you are analytical, curious, and solution-oriented. You enjoy collaborating cross-functionally but are also self-sufficient and structured. Quality and safety are important principles for you, and you see opportunities in change.
The position is to be filled as soon as possible, and applications will be processed continuously.
