We are looking for a driven and experienced Senior Maintenance Engineer to join us in our mission to contribute to a greener future. Your journey begins as a part of our passionate Maintenance team, initially based in Skellefteå, Sweden, for the first six months, after which you will transition to our brand-new factory in Heide, Germany. By joining us, you will be a key player in optimizing and developing maintenance strategies for one of Europe’s first large-scale battery factories.
About the job
As a Senior Maintenance Engineer, you will play a crucial role in ensuring the reliability, safety, and cost efficiency of our equipment. You will work closely with production and process personnel to minimize breakdowns and implement machine improvements. A typical day will involve analyzing machine maintenance losses, leading optimization programs, and training less experienced colleagues. This is an opportunity to have a tangible impact on the success of Northvolt's production operations while contributing to the development of cutting-edge battery technology.
We’re looking for someone eager to apply their expertise in a fast-paced environment where growth opportunities are abundant. If you are passionate about continuous improvement and ready to take on challenges, this role is for you.
About the team
You will be one of the first engineers in our fast-growing Maintenance team, which will expand as we ramp up operations in Heide. Our team is dedicated to creating a safe and efficient working environment, and your expertise will be vital to our long-term goals of building a world-class battery factory.
Key responsibilities include but are not limited to:
  • Collaborate with production and process personnel to mitigate machine breakdowns and drive equipment improvements.
  • Lead the development and optimization of maintenance programs to enhance equipment performance.
  • Analyze maintenance losses and implement solutions to eliminate or reduce them.
  • Provide training and guidance to less experienced colleagues in maintenance tasks.
  • Ensure availability of spare parts and oversee larger reinvestments when needed.
Success factors for this role:
The person we are looking for is highly organized, communicative, and results-driven. You enjoy working in a high-paced environment, and you’re passionate about continuous improvement. You should have strong technical knowledge in mechanical, automation, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems, and experience in leading maintenance initiatives in an industrial setting. Qualities we value include a service-minded approach, grit, and the ability to foster a great working environment.
Northvolt is an equal opportunity employer. We embrace diversity and inclusion, and we are united by our mission to create a sustainable future. At Northvolt, you will find an open and welcoming atmosphere where we achieve our goals as a team. We also believe strongly in internal career development and are growing at the speed of light, providing abundant opportunities for growth.
