Job description

Ensure high quality fiber optic delivery in global projects

Join NKT as a Fiber Optic Project Engineer and take full technical ownership of fiber optic systems in large HVDC and transmission projects.

In this role, you manage the fiber optic scope end to end - from concept and design to implementation, installation support and final handover. You act as the technical authority for fiber optics, making decisions and ensuring reliable, high-quality solutions throughout the project lifecycle. You will collaborate closely with engineering, production, installation and procurement teams across Karlskrona, Cologne and Chennai.

Do you want to take full technical ownership of fiber optic systems in global HVDC projects? In that case, this is a role for you.

Manage fiber optic engineering activities across the full project lifecycleYou will contribute to the execution of fiber optic systems across the full project lifecycle, ensuring that solutions meet technical specifications, project timelines and stakeholder expectations. The role involves close collaboration with project managers, technical leads, sensing specialists, procurement and production teams.

You will also support documentation, installation preparation and quality related activities, while contributing to continuous improvement and knowledge sharing within the team.

Your responsibility will also be to:

• Lead and coordinate the fiber optic scope across all relevant project phases.
• Ensure alignment between design, production, testing and installation.
• Manage fiber optic system solutions throughout assigned projects.
• Provide guidance and support to other engineers within fiber optics.

You will be part of the Fiber Optic Engineering team and report to the Fiber Optics Manager. The role is primarily based in Karlskrona; however, it offers the possibility of a hybrid setup, with an initial base from the Malmö/Lund area where we also maintain an office. Limited travel may be required for testing, meetings, or site activities.

You apply analytical reasoning alongside a practical, solutions-driven mindset, giving you the ability to guide others with confidence in your field. You thrive in a setting where you balance technical tasks with planning, documentation and collaboration across departments.

You also have:

• A degree in electrical-, mechanical-, physics engineering or a related field.
