Would you be our new System Engineer?
As a System Engineer at VEO, your primary responsibility will be to ensure that technical solutions for our substation projects meet contract specifications and design standards. You will work closely with the Lead Engineer to understand customer needs and project requirements, helping to design and implement cost-effective, high-quality solutions. Your role will involve supporting project tasks such as testing, commissioning, and managing design documentation, while ensuring deadlines and requirements are met.

In addition to technical responsibilities, you will play a key role in project coordination. This includes tracking design progress, managing design changes, and collaborating with the Lead Engineer and Project Manager to address any technical or scheduling concerns. You will also collaborate with customers, contractors, and internal departments to ensure satisfaction and smooth project execution.

The role’s seniority can be adjusted based on your expertise and experience. This is a permanent, full-time position. Your office and most of your closest colleagues are located at our Vaasa headquarters, but you can also work from any of our offices (located in Seinäjoki, Tampere, Paimio and Rovaniemi) and flexibly remotely in a hybrid model. This position also requires regular traveling mostly within Finland, Sweden, and Norway.

What are we looking for?

A strong technical background is crucial for this role, ideally with a degree in electrical engineering (B.Sc. or M.Sc.). To succeed as a System Engineer, we hope you already have experience in hands-on engineering tasks, along with excellent problem-solving skills and ability to take ownership of your tasks and projects. Effective communication and teamwork are also essential, so fluent spoken and written Finnish/Swedish and English are required.

We are looking for someone who is adaptable and enjoys working on long-term projects that require patience and dedication. Your ability to efficiently manage multiple tasks and projects simultaneously, while consistently maintaining a keen eye for detail, will be essential to your success in this role.

Why us?

At VEO, you will be part of meaningful work – promoting the transition towards green energy and helping shape a more sustainable future.

We offer diverse tasks, including the opportunity to work on interesting and large-scale subcontracting and industrial projects across the world. Despite being a larger company, we maintain a collaborative team environment where people know and support each other.

In this position, you have room to grow professionally with the support of a strong team that brings a wealth of experience and project management skills. This is a great moment to challenge yourself and develop your expertise. At VEO, you have the opportunity to build a career path that´s just right for you, taking into account your own interests.

We also offer good employee benefits, such as hybrid work, flexible hours, an employee bicycle benefit, and lunch and wellbeing benefits. Join us and be part of the renewable energy journey.
