Skellefteå, Västerbotten County, Sweden
I’m a Senior Project Manager and Engineering Manager with more than 30 years of experience in the AEC industry, working across architecture, engineering, and construction. Over the years, I’ve taken on roles on both the technical and managerial side, which has given me a broad and practical understanding of how complex projects actually work, as well as shaped a practical, solution‑oriented way of working. Throughout my career, I’ve developed strong engineering and project management skills that have helped me consistently deliver against project targets while building genuine, long‑term relationships with teammates, partners, and clients. I place a lot of value on trust, clarity, and working together toward shared goals. One characteristic I’ve consistently seen develop over the years is adaptability to different projects, multicultural teams, countries, and ways of working. In recent years, I’ve been involved in large industrial projects connected to the green transition in Northern Sweden, such as battery production and green steel as well as assignments in the defense sector focused on test and verification, requirements clarity, and work in regulated environments. My role has often been close to the engineering delivery, supporting multidisciplinary teams, handling interfaces, and contributing to sound technical decisions in complex and time‑critical environments. I value straightforward communication, shared responsibility, and a collaborative way of working. I’m used to flat organizations where trust, clarity, and respect matter more than titles, and where leadership is about enabling people to do their best work. Life in Sweden: Driven by a desire for a healthy work-life balance, I feel at home in the Scandinavian way of working. When I’m not on-site, you’ll likely find me building LEGO sets, mountain biking through the forest, or out on the ski slopes.
Architectural lead within the Civil, Structural and Architectural (CSA) organisation for design coordination and architectural design of factory buildings at Northvolt Ett. I worked close to both design and construction, coordinating architectural interfaces across disciplines and supporting reviews, as‑built documentation, and alignment with Northvolt requirements. The role combined technical responsibility with design coordination and regular interaction with contractors, suppliers, and authorities. This experience strengthened my interest in large industrial projects and laid the foundation for understanding the specificities of the Swedish design and construction environment.
Part‑time role alongside my Master’s studies, supporting project managers in ongoing design and infrastructure projects. I contributed to coordination tasks, bid and tender preparation, and day‑to‑day project support, gaining insight into how large consultancy organisations structure project delivery, planning, and internal collaboration. The experience complemented my academic work by grounding management concepts in real project environments and reinforcing the importance of clear communication, structure, and teamwork.
