This position reports to: Engineering Manager

Your role and Responsibilities

Are you ready to shape the electrical backbone of advanced crane systems used around the world? As a Project Lead Engineer in our Hardware Engineering team, you will design and document the electrical hardware that powers complex, safety‑critical industrial equipment. You’ll work with both standardized solutions and project‑specific adaptations, using modern electrical design tools and established baselines to deliver high‑quality documentation that supports manufacturing, commissioning and long‑term lifecycle management.

This role places you at the center of cross‑functional collaboration partnering with project managers, software engineers, commissioning teams, supply management and external panel builders to secure robust, safe and maintainable solutions throughout the entire project life cycle.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design crane electrical systems according to internal design rules and applicable standards, including PCD, YCD, SLD and CSC documentation.
• Develop and maintain hardware documentation using department baselines and standard solutions for MV switchgear, LV distribution, MCCs, PLC cabinets and field boxes.
• Dimension and select components such as switchgear, drives, power supplies, safety devices, sensors, cameras, encoders and cables based on project requirements.
• Ensure correct signal and functional design, including DI/DO/AI/AO assignments, safety chains, interlocks and power distribution for all crane functions.
• Maintain configuration management and traceability of hardware releases and third‑party components in Jira, aligned with LCM and configuration management processes.
• Participate in design reviews for SLDs, control system configurations, motor control circuits and PCDs, ensuring quality, consistency and compliance with safety requirements.
• Support manufacturing and commissioning by clarifying drawings, resolving non‑conformities and updating documentation when changes occur on site.

Qualifications for the role

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, Mechatronics or similar or equivalent practical experience, with strong emphasis on hands‑on engineering.
• Experience in industrial power and control systems (LV/MV), ideally within rotating machinery, cranes, marine or heavy industry. Experience from crane projects, marine & ports, or large automated industrial installations (e.g., rolling mills, mining hoists, production lines, power plants) is strongly beneficial.
• Proficiency with at least one electrical CAD tool, such as ePlan or Engineering Base, and willingness to work across multiple platforms during transition periods.
• Strong understanding of electrical schematics, documentation structures, IEC standards (e.g., IEC 60617) and typical industrial hardware such as breakers, contactors, relays, encoders, cameras, power supplies and PLC I/O.
• Familiarity with industrial communication networks (Profinet, Ethernet, fiber optics, PoE cameras, encoders, inclination sensors) and configuration/change management tools like Jira.
• Experience from commissioning, troubleshooting or red‑lining electrical drawings is advantageous.
• Structured, detail‑oriented problem solver with strong communication skills in English; Swedish is beneficial for working with local standards and suppliers.
