About the position

As Manager Automation Engineering at Perstorp, you will be part of our global technical organization, TDI (Technology, Design & Investments). TDI is at the heart of our engineering projects and investment efforts, delivering innovative, sustainable solutions to our production facilities worldwide.

In this role, you will lead high-performing engineering teams within automation, instrumentation, and distributed control systems (DCS), which are vital for our operational excellence, investment ambitions and strategic project execution. You will be responsible for resource planning, competence development, and ensuring your team has the tools and support needed to excel. Simultaneously, you will drive strategic improvements in our automation processes, technical standards, and engineering methodologies.

You will actively contribute to project governance and delivery, always with a focus on safety, quality and efficiency, while also engaging operationally in projects — sometimes as a project lead, and other times in a hands-on capacity. Reporting into senior leadership, you will partner with specialists across the organization, holding a real opportunity to shape Perstorp’s technical trajectory.

What You’ll Do

Your primary responsibilities include:

• Be a present and supportive leader, guiding and developing team members through clear direction, regular reviews, and growth conversations
• Oversee resource planning and ensure the team has the capabilities, tools, and environment necessary to deliver successful projects
• Coach and mentor individuals in their career growth and technical development
• Collaborate with other GTI leadership to drive improvements in organizational structure, workflows, standards, and engineering tools to meet present and future demands
• Lead or participate in project steering committees to influence and safeguard project outcomes
• Actively contribute to project execution, taking on roles ranging from project lead to hands-on engineering support, depending on project needs
• Ensure work is conducted with a strong emphasis on quality, safety, and sustainability, in alignment with Perstorp’s values

Who are we looking for?

• You bring a solid technical background within the automation and instrumental domain and work experience from the chemical or process industry and enjoy balancing hands on problem solving with strategic thinking. You are self-reliant, organized, and able to communicate effectively with diverse stakeholders.
• You have proven experience of a leadership role of any kind (i.e. project lead, team lead or similar) together with a passion for leadership and thrive in roles where you can take ownership, foster innovation, and drive continuous improvement.
• You are fluent in English, both written and spoken, and comfortable operating in an international environment with site visits
• You are detail-oriented, yet able to see the bigger picture and drive toward long-term project goals
• An interest in sustainability and innovation is strongly aligned with your professional values

In this role, we’re looking for more than technical leadership — we’re looking for someone who combines curiosity with clarity, and who leads with both vision and presence. You are deeply engaged in your field and stay curious about new methods, technologies, and smarter ways of working. You value structure and accountability, but you're not afraid to challenge the status quo when improvements can be made. As a leader, you’re approachable, communicative, and genuinely committed to supporting others' growth. You enjoy working across functions and cultures, and you inspire trust by being both strategically driven and hands-on when needed.

What We Offer

• At Perstorp, you’ll join a global and innovative organization that places sustainability and technological advancement at its core. As Automation Manager, you will be entrusted with significant responsibility and the chance to shape future automation solutions.
• We offer a collaborative working environment, strong focus on personal and professional growth, and competitive benefits including flexible working arrangements, a generous pension package, and continuous learning opportunities. We value work-life balance and support your wellbeing through health programs and wellness initiatives.
• You will become part of a passionate organization with over 100 years of history in delivering value through chemistry — where your leadership and ideas can make a real difference.
