Head of Quality & Sustainability SE

The core mission is to translate Coromatic's group quality and sustainability strategy into daily practice across the Swedish organisation. That means implementing and maintaining a shared management system grounded in ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and Swedish environmental legislation, and making sure the processes, standards and sustainability targets are actually used, not just documented. You will run internal audits, support external certification audits and manage deviations, risks and corrective actions. A second, equally important layer is follow-up and reporting. You will track local KPIs, customer complaints, audit results and environmental data, then feed those insights back to both Swedish management and the Nordic group function. You'll also support projects and the sales organisation with quality and sustainability input for tenders, customer dialogues and external assessments. Finally, part of the role is cultural: building engagement and competence around quality and sustainability through training, knowledge sharing and supplier follow-up. Expect to act as expert, advisor and internal driver rather than a pure controller, with a mandate to challenge how things are done today.

You'll deepen your mastery of ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 in a real industrial setting, beyond textbook auditing, managing deviations, corrective actions, risk registers and environmental permits in a technically complex business. Because you sit close to data centre and backup power operations, you'll gain rare exposure to the sustainability challenges of critical infrastructure, from energy use to supplier sourcing. You'll also build strong reporting and data skills, converting audit findings, KPI trends and environmental data into decision-ready material for management. The cross-border dimension with Norway, Denmark and the group function will sharpen your ability to work with multi-country management systems and adapt global frameworks to local realities. On the softer side, you'll grow as a trainer and internal advisor, designing workshops, coaching project teams and practicing how to make compliance feel useful rather than burdensome. That combination of technical depth and influence is a valuable profile in the sustainability job market.

The ideal candidate combines at least three to five years of hands-on quality and sustainability experience with genuine familiarity with ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and Swedish environmental legislation. A relevant academic background or equivalent practical experience is expected, and exposure to technical or industrial operations (management systems, risk and deviation handling, sustainability data and supplier assessments) is a clear plus. Beyond certifications, the role calls for someone who is structured and analytical yet highly operational. You'll need to move fluently between requirements, processes and the shop floor, making complex regulation understandable and usable for colleagues who aren't sustainability specialists. Strong problem-solving instincts and willingness to challenge existing ways of working matter more than rigid proceduralism. Finally, communication is central. You should be able to train, support and engage colleagues across Sweden and comfortably handle external contacts with customers, authorities and certification bodies. Fluency in both Swedish and English, spoken and written, is essential for a role that sits between a Swedish entity and a Nordic group function.

Because the role sits at the intersection of quality and sustainability, your application should avoid pitching you as purely one or the other. Lead with concrete examples where you've owned a management system end to end, running internal audits, handling deviations, preparing for external certification or shaping sustainability data reporting. Quantify where you can: certification cycles you supported, non-conformities you closed, sustainability metrics you introduced. Given Coromatic's context, show that you understand the sustainability issues specific to critical infrastructure, data centres and backup power. A short, tailored cover letter explaining why this technical environment appeals to you, rather than a generic passion for sustainability, will stand out. If you have experience in the Nordics or in another E.ON-affiliated context, or with supplier and customer quality requirements, make that visible early. The interviews will likely probe your ability to influence without formal authority. Prepare stories where you changed how a team worked, supported a project under delivery pressure or convinced sales to embed quality and sustainability in a bid. Also be ready to demonstrate working-level Swedish and English, since the job explicitly requires both.

The role's sustainability work will centre on environmental compliance and continuous improvement within Coromatic's Swedish operations. Because the company runs data centres and critical power installations, day-to-day interest lies in energy use, environmental permits, waste, incident preparedness and the environmental footprint of delivered solutions. You'll be the local guardian of ISO 14001 and of Swedish environmental legislation, ensuring permits and documentation are in order and deviations are properly managed. Beyond compliance, you'll likely contribute to the group's broader sustainability targets by collecting and reporting reliable local data, KPI trends, supplier and subcontractor sustainability requirements, customer assessment input. Coromatic positions itself as helping build a resilient and sustainable society, so the narrative runs through both the solutions it delivers and the way it operates: this role gives that narrative a concrete operational backbone. Finally, the role carries a strong social and governance angle: embedding quality culture, training colleagues, supporting tenders and customer dialogues. It's a sustainability role that touches operations, procurement, sales and governance at once, rather than sitting isolated in a reporting silo.

One challenge is the classic matrix tension: you report to a Group Head of Quality & Sustainability while operating inside the Swedish business, so balancing group standards with local realities, and convincing busy operational teams to prioritise process discipline, will require patience and influence rather than authority. Sales and project teams facing delivery pressure may not always see quality and sustainability tasks as urgent. The breadth of the role is another factor. You'll juggle audits, environmental legislation, sustainability data, supplier requirements and training simultaneously, which demands strong prioritisation. In a technical environment with data centres and backup power, staying credible across both quality and environmental domains, plus knowing when to escalate to the group, is a real cognitive load. Finally, driving cultural change is rarely linear. Expect slow adoption, competing definitions of what "sustainability" means across functions, and the need to make compliance relevant and useful rather than bureaucratic. Sustaining momentum across three-to-four annual site visits and remote collaboration with Nordic colleagues adds a further coordination challenge.

A typical day will likely mix desk work and people-facing activity. Mornings might involve reviewing deviations, updating corrective action plans, analysing KPI or sustainability data, or preparing material for an upcoming internal audit. You could also be drafting quality and sustainability input for a tender or customer assessment, which means close coordination with the sales organisation. Mid-day, expect meetings with project teams, procurement or management to discuss requirements, risk registers or improvement initiatives. You might run a short training or workshop for colleagues, translating ISO 9001 or ISO 14001 requirements into practical workflows. Regular touchpoints with your counterparts in Norway and Denmark and with the group function will also feature, aligning on standards and sharing lessons. On travel weeks, the rhythm shifts towards visits to Swedish sites for audits or hands-on support, around three to four times per year with overnight stays. The rest of the time, the role is a blend of independent analysis, advisory conversations and progress-chasing across multiple functions.

This is a highly visible position as the Swedish lead for quality and sustainability within a Nordic group, which naturally opens doors. Strong performance could lead to expanded responsibility across the Nordic organisation, deeper involvement in group-level strategy, or a broader sustainability leadership role as Coromatic and its parent E.ON continue integrating ESG into operations. Reporting directly into a Group Head of Quality & Sustainability also creates mentorship and a clear line of sight to senior careers. Skills-wise, you'll develop a rare combination of management-system expertise and sustainability data fluency in a technically demanding sector, a profile increasingly sought after in infrastructure, energy and data centre businesses. You'll have opportunities to shape how the group develops its shared sustainability agenda, contributing beyond the Swedish entity. Given the cross-functional nature of the role, lateral moves into operations, project management, procurement or ESG strategy are also plausible for someone who performs well and builds a strong internal network. Media, training and stakeholder-management experience will accumulate in parallel.

The most frequent interactions will be with the Swedish management team, project and delivery leads, sales and procurement. These relationships are advisory and collaborative, helping colleagues apply requirements in tenders, customer dialogues and project execution. You will also work closely with your counterparts in Norway and Denmark and with Group Q&S, sharing standards, data and lessons learned across borders. Externally, you'll regularly engage with customers, authorities and certification bodies, supporting audits, responding to quality and sustainability questions and ensuring environmental documentation and permits are current. Suppliers and subcontractors are another key group, since you'll follow up on quality and sustainability requirements throughout the supply chain. Your direct relationship with the Group Head of Quality & Sustainability, the hiring manager, is central, providing direction, escalation and professional mentorship. Indirectly, your work supports Coromatic's broader Nordic leadership and, through the E.ON ownership, connects with a wider sustainability agenda beyond the local entity.
