We are driven by our commitment to deliver accelerated growth for AstraZeneca and to make people’s lives better. It pushes us to keep building on our foundations and progressing as we turn our ever-growing and increasingly complex pipeline from molecule to medicine. Be part of evolving how we work with Lean, cutting-edge science, digitalisation and sustainable practices.

Location: Gothenburg or Södertälje

Here at Global Engineering and Real Estate (GERE) we are accountable for scoping, planning and executing major capital projects across all AstraZeneca sites as well as supporting the broader company through developing and implementing technical support and standards.

By putting next generation assets on the ground, the team is playing a fundamental role in supporting AstraZeneca’s strong pipeline. Combining the use of the newest technologies, skilled program management and a broad range of engineering and construction expertise, the team establishes strong and positive partnerships with end customers to build facilities which match requirements and exceed expectations.
