We are now looking for a Senior Manager, Operating Model & Management System to shape the operating model of our new nuclear project organisation and lead the development of its integrated management system.

About the role

With more than 40 years of experience as a nuclear operator and co-owner of several Nordic nuclear power plants, Fortum is developing new nuclear to meet growing industrial demand in Sweden and Finland.

In this role, you will lead and coordinate the development of the new project organisation and the capabilities needed for effective project delivery. You will translate business, regulatory and project needs into a coherent operating model, an integrated management system (IMS), clearly defined project management processes, effective stakeholder interfaces and selected internal processes. You will be part of the Project Management team within our New Nuclear business line. The team is responsible for project management activities, project controls, vendor contracts, preparation of the owner’s scope and Bidding Invitation Specification (BIS), and development of the project company (SPV), including its integrated management system.

This role will be based in Solna, Sweden and requires regular cooperation across Sweden and Finland, as well as with vendors and partners internationally. Regular travel between Sweden and Finland, approximately once a month, is to be expected.

Your main focus areas will be to:

- Lead the development of the new project organisation, including its operating model, governance, roles, responsibilities and cross-functional ways of working.

- Lead the design, implementation and continuous development of the integrated management system (IMS), ensuring alignment with business needs, regulatory expectations, quality requirements and project governance.

- Develop project management processes, methods, templates and controls that enable consistent planning, execution, follow-up, risk management and decision-making.

- Establish and develop effective system and process interfaces with key stakeholders, including the project company, plant vendors, partners, authorities and other internal and external parties.

- Develop selected internal processes, ensuring that process ownership, responsibilities, controls, performance measures and improvement practices are clearly defined.

- Build and maintain a practical development roadmap, prioritise initiatives, manage dependencies and resources, and provide transparent progress, risk and decision reporting to project leadership.

- Facilitate cross-functional development work, engage process owners and subject-matter experts, and turn complex needs into implementable solutions with clear ownership and adoption plans.

- Promote a strong safety, quality, learning and continuous improvement culture throughout organisational and process development.
