Project Engineering Manager

What we do at Blykalla Blykalla is a Swedish deep-tech company developing next-generation small modular reactors (SMRs) to deliver clean, safe, and reliable energy. Our lead-cooled reactor design enables high safety in a compact format, making it scalable and cost-efficient — and a strong complement to renewable energy. We are now entering a phase where structured, high-quality engineering execution is critical to moving from design to reality — and this is where you come in. What you’ll get to do As Project Engineering Manager (PEM), you lead the engineering execution of Blykalla’s SEALER reactor programme. You sit at the intersection of technical leadership, project delivery, and regulatory compliance — ensuring that multidisciplinary teams move in sync, milestones are met, and engineering output is robust and licensable. This is a senior, hands-on leadership role where you both define how we work and ensure it gets done. You translate complex technical requirements into clear execution plans, align teams across disciplines, and create the structure needed to deliver a first-of-a-kind nuclear system. You will also play a key role in shaping how we scale engineering at Blykalla, driving the adoption of design for fabrication and modularization, model-based engineering, PLM systems, and data-driven workflows. Responsibilities Engineering execution & technical leadership Define and drive a clear engineering execution plan with an aligned schedule, deliverables, cost, and responsibilities Lead coordination across disciplines (reactor, mechanical, electrical, I&C, structural, safety) to ensure system integration Ensure effective engineering workflows, design control processes, and validation approaches are implemented Ensure engineering output meets quality, safety, and regulatory requirements throughout the lifecycle Risk, safety & licensing Identify and manage technical and regulatory risks early, before they impact delivery Ensure traceability and documentation n
