Uppsala, Uppsala, Sweden Qtagg Full time €60,000 - €120,000 per year

Automation Engineer – Join Qtagg's Global Mission for Smarter, Cleaner Shipping

Location:
Västerås, Sweden (with global travel)

Travel required:
Approx. 75 days/year

At
Qtagg
, we build complex systems that make it easy to reduce fuel consumption and control emissions that helps people, the shipping industry, and the planet. We're driven by purpose, innovation, and a commitment to doing things better. Now, we're looking for a new team member who shares that ambition.

About the Role

You'll be the one designing and building automation solutions from the ground up – think detailed electrical schematics, installation instructions, and everything in between. Then you'll take it on the road, traveling to ships around the world to lead the actual installation and commissioning on-site. It's hands-on work that also requires solid planning and coordination skills, plus a genuine love for cracking tough technical problems.

This is the kind of role where no two weeks look the same. If you thrive on variety, independence, and seeing your work make a real-world impact, this could be your spot.

Key Responsibilities

  • Create detailed electrical schematics and automation designs
  • Prepare documentation and installation instructions
  • Conduct site surveys and manage system installations onboard vessels
  • Perform commissioning and modifications to automation systems
  • Collaborate with internal teams and project partners
  • Ensure timely delivery and proper execution of project tasks

What you know

  • Proven commissioning experience, preferably in the maritime or industrial sectors
  • Strong understanding of automation design and electrical schematics
  • Previous experience as Site Manager, Project Manager, or Commissioning Engineer.
  • Education in electrical engineering, marine engineering or automation, for example from a vocational college (YH) is desirable but not a requirement.
  • You know your way around PLC programming
  • Experience with SEE Electrical or similar drawing tools is a strong advantage
  • If you have knowledge in Solid works, it would be wonderful.
  • Fluent in English (required); Swedish is a plus but not mandatory

You're someone who...

Gets things done without being asked twice – you're proactive, hands-on, and don't wait around for someone else to fix things. You love solving problems and have that rare combo of seeing the big picture while catching the details that matter. You're comfortable making calls and taking initiative, even when the path isn't perfectly clear. When things get hectic, you stay organized and reliable – pressure doesn't rattle you, it focuses you. And you're up for seeing the world while you're at it, with international travel making up about 75 days a year (yes, your passport will get a workout).

What's in it for you?

Make an impact that counts
– Be part of a growing company where your work directly contributes to sustainability and innovation (not just slide decks about it)

Think big, work global
– Tackle projects that span the world and solve real environmental and technical challenges

Freedom to build
– Independence to work your way, responsibility to own your projects, and space to shape your role as you grow

People who get it
– A supportive team driven by purpose, not just profit
