We're looking for a skilled and motivated Senior Project Manager to join our MOHP Operations team in Västerås. In this role, you'll lead strategically important Manufacturing investment projects that support our continued growth, operational excellence, and long-term competitiveness.

You'll take full ownership of project execution – from Gate 0 Project kick-off to Gate 6 Project close-out, ensuring optimized solutions are reaching Manufacturing unit in smooth handover while securing compliance with internal standards, timelines, and budget. Your leadership will be key in driving results, sharing best practices, and lifting the project execution capability within the organization.

To succeed in this role, you bring solid experience from industrial project management, including machinery investments and infrastructure-related installations (e.g. electricity, ventilation, construction).

You will be mainly accountable for:

• Lead and deliver complex industrial investment projects, ensuring quality, budget, and time targets are met.
• Manage project resources and risks in an effective, transparent and professional manner.
• Drive continuous improvement by sharing knowledge, mentoring others, and optimizing project execution processes.
• Represent the project in internal and external forums, including inspection/verification activities at supplier, stakeholder meetings, and formal project close-out.

Qualifications for the role

• A bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or other relevant post-secondary education, combined with a proven ability to deliver results in technical project environments.
• A strong passion for and deep engagement in investment and industrialization projects, particularly within high-precision manufacturing environments.
• At least 5 years of solid experience in project management and industrial investments – ideally including advanced machining processes such as turning, milling, drilling, and grinding.
• Extensive knowledge of project planning (e.g. MS Project, WBS Scheduler), cost follow-up and budgeting (e.g. SAP), as well as RFQ processes, supplier negotiations, stakeholder communication, and risk management.
• Excellent communication skills in both Swedish and English, written and spoken.
• Driver's license.

What's in it for you?

We empower you to take initiative, challenge ideas, and lead with confidence. You'll grow through meaningful work, continuous learning, and support that's tailored to your goals. Every idea you share and every action you take contributes to something bigger.
