Job Description
Are you interested in writing your thesis in urban development, AI, and project management?
We are now seeking someone who wants to write their thesis with us, focusing on how artificial intelligence can be used to streamline and improve bridge inspections – an area with great potential for innovation and societal benefit.
The thesis aims to investigate how AI-based methods, such as drone image analysis or machine learning, can support or replace parts of the traditional inspection process. You will have the opportunity to work closely with our consultants in project management, construction management, and inspection, and access real project data and methods.
Example questions:
• What types of damage can be identified using AI and image analysis?
• How does AI-based inspection differ from traditional methodology?
• What technical and legal requirements must be met for AI to be used in practice?
• How can AFRY's expertise in project management and digitalization contribute to development?
Timeline
Start in February 2026, implementation during spring.
The thesis will be conducted at AFRY's office in Malmö and/or at the academic institution.
We Offer
• Mentoring by experienced AFRY consultants
• Opportunity to participate in project meetings and gain insight into real assignments
• A modern workplace with collective agreement, wellness contribution, and social activities
• Potential for future employment
• Freedom to influence the thesis direction within the framework of AI and bridge inspection
Qualifications
You are studying to become a civil engineer in urban development, computer science, engineering physics, mechanical engineering, or equivalent. You are in the final stages of your education and have an interest in AI, programming, and digital product development.
