Strategic Project Buyer

The Utility team at Svea Solar is responsible for utility-scale (i.e. very large!) projects and is currently on a strong growth path both in Sweden and across Europe. For instance, we've just built a solar park in Fjällskär (20.7 MW), making it one of Europe's biggest parks.

- Commercial project management of the end-to-end sourcing process by coordinating with a multidisciplinary project team.
- Leading intensive commercial and contractual negotiations to achieve the best business results.
- Acting as a liaison between our company and suppliers with aligned communication strategies and managing stakeholders to drive an efficient decision-making process.
