In this role, you will collaborate across IKEA’s global infrastructure to design, build, and automate network services for stores, warehouses, and offices worldwide. You will play a key role in transforming how connectivity is delivered, making it efficient, scalable, and automated.

Togetherness is central at IKEA - by combining our skills and passion, we create meaningful results for our global network.

    Questions and support? Let's connect!

    This role is based in Helsingborg or Älmhult, Sweden, and you will report to the Engineering Manager of the Connectivity Services team.

    In this recruitment there is no relocation support provided by IKEA, hence we're looking for people already living in the mentioned location.

    In line with our value of togetherness we believe the best way for us to collaborate and co-create is when we meet in the office. This is why we expect you to spend the majority of time in the office.
