The opportunity
My name is Andrew Carruthers, and hope to be your new manager here in Ludvika. I manage the software department called “Sequence and Interlocking”, which is responsible for providing a safe and reliable operation of the switchgear in a HVDC station. This means we solve interlocking principles, status configurations, automated switching sequences and “ready for” conditions among many other things and we are a vital part of any HVDC station.
My responsibility as your manager is to provide a culture of inclusion, respect and learning, so it feels exciting, challenging, fun and fulfilling when coming to work.
