We support our customers transition to a carbon-free world through great Digital solutions and experiences that users love and enables customers to shift to fossil-free operations. We truly care about the customer’s business in terms of up-time, safety, productivity and of course 100% green energy supply.

What are we looking for in this specific role?


Volvo Energy is building a highly qualified digital platform, an Energy Management System (EMS), to support the large need for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).


As Senior Enterprise Architect you will be responsible for the complete digital solution landscape related to EMS/BESS. This role will also reach into the charging space, connecting EMS to charging solutions supporting charging of vehicles.


You will have the responsibility to transform business visions, strategies, and customer needs into an Enterprise Architecture. This is done by identifying the change needed on business capabilities, information models, IT solutions and infrastructure - and transforming them into an architectural runway for all development activities - ensuring cyber security at all levels.


As the energy space rely on standards for interoperability between energy systems, like IEC 60870-5, 61850, DNP-3 and OpenADR, you make sure the EMS/BESS solutions are designed to be compliant with the standards applicable.


You define which business capabilities that should be solved where in the solution landscape. You know when it makes sense to build own solutions, and when to partner with other players and suppliers. Time to market is of great essence, so we strive to build and learn in short development cycles.


You will work closely together with several different qualified teams to help design and build the future Digital platform needed for EMS/BESS. As an Enterprise Architect at Volvo Energy, you will be part of an architectural community with high skills and abilities and functionally also report to the Volvo Energy Head of Enterprise architecture.


This position is placed in CampX, Gothenburg or Pentahuset Skövde, Sweden.


Making it a success for yourself and Volvo Energy


Welcome to a global team unified by an important mission, great ideas, fun, diversity, and inclusion. Our colleagues are - and will always be - the most important part of the story, as each colleague truly matters and plays an essential role in our journey.


To succeed, we believe you are innovative, pragmatic, creative with a positive spirit, curious and have an entrepreneurial mindset. Being recognized in your specialties, you are a forward-looking person, and you see opportunities when others see risks. Being appreciated by your peers, you enjoy connecting with a broad network, building win-win approaches, and developing relationships.


You have a strong ability to move from words to action in an organized and structured way. You are down-to-earth and are equally at home working hands-on as you are leading strategic discussions.


Consequently, whilst demands are high, there is also plenty of opportunities to learn and grow - as a professional and as a person. We will be a fairly small team and therefore look for colleagues that thoroughly enjoy this intrapreneurial challenge, can hit the ground running and lead with passion, perform with purpose and transform with vision. Moreover, it will be essential you have a strong ability to form trustful relationships to effectively work with partners - inside and outside of the Volvo Group – in a cross-functional manner.


If our entrepreneurial spirit, adaptability, and customer-focused mindset light your inner fire, we might be a great match!
