Building the grid of tomorrow

Behind every light, there’s a story

When you work on the power grid, you’re doing more than keeping the lights on. You’re making sure homes, hospitals, and industries never stop. Every challenge you solve keeps life moving. And now, you’ll help drive one of the biggest transformations of our time: building a fossil-free energy system.

Safety and teamwork - more than words

At Vattenfall, culture matters as much as technology. We care for each other, speak openly, and make sure everyone gets home safely. Out in the field or at the office, teamwork is everything. When storms hit or when we build new connections, collaboration makes the difference. You’re never alone - you have colleagues who share knowledge, support you, and take responsibility together.

For engineers and project managers, the excitement is just as real. Here, cutting-edge technology meets social impact. Every day, you’ll know your work matters - for society, for the climate, for the future. That feeling unites us, whether you’re at a substation, climbing a pole, or planning the next big project.

How does work on the power grid actually happen?

Ever wondered what a day on the power grid looks like? Come along with Christoffer and his team as they take on a service job on the transmission network — a challenge that calls for cable cars, tracked vehicles, and even a line spinner! (Video in Swedish)

Innovation in action: Building the grid of the future

Electrification is reshaping Sweden. Transport, industry, entire communities - they’re all transitioning. And the power grid is the key that makes it possible. We’re building smart grids: digital, automated systems that monitor and optimize power flows in real time, integrate solar and wind, and prevent disruptions before they happen. From microgrids in the Stockholm archipelago to digital substations powered by IoT and 5G - we’re future-proofing the network.
