We are looking for a new Business Unit Leader, Energy & Industrial Business, to lead and grow Welado’s business in a market where customer needs are changing fast and we have a strong intent to grow.

This role is not about maintaining the status quo. It is for a leader with clear commercial drive, a strategic mindset, strong execution ability, and the ambition to shape where the business should go next. You will lead the current Energy and QC teams (approximately 15 people) and work closely with our Swedish colleagues. Welado Group is strong in this business area in Sweden, and now your job is to build this business in Finland.

As Head of Energy & Industrial Business, you take end-to-end responsibility for the business, including:

• Profitable growth

• Overall performance (people, customers, finance, quality)

• Key accounts and sales

• Service and offering development—where we play, with what capabilities, and for whom

• Building and leading the team, including capability growth and recruitment as needed

Day-to-day operations (projects, resourcing, forecasting) form the foundation, but the core of the role is renewal and development: seeing a few steps ahead and turning market direction into concrete priorities and a winning plan.

What we are looking for

We are seeking someone who is:

• Strongly commercial—able to create growth, open doors, and convert opportunities into business

• Equipped with excellent, existing relationships with key accounts in the industrial and energy sectors

• Able to articulate where money is moving right now and where investments are heading next—and turn that insight into choices and action

• Comfortable making clear priorities: focusing on the right bets and building momentum

• An expert with the ability and experience to work on customer projects when needed—whether project leadership, construction management, or another expert niche, depending on your strengths

You take ownership of business numbers (sales pipeline, budgeting, economic estimates, customer and personnel satisfaction) but lead through people. You believe in our values and in a coaching leadership style.

Trust and customer access are essential in this role. The ability to quickly enter meaningful customer dialogue is crucial. We particularly value candidates who already have established relationships with key energy and industrial customers, enabling faster access to trust-based discussions and accelerating Welado’s position as a strategic partner.

Your background is rooted in the energy and/or industrial sector, for example in:

• Electrical and automation domains

• Large industrial investment projects

• Energy, process, or industrial value chains, or leadership consulting

• Construction management or project leadership in the industrial and/or energy sector

More important than any single technical niche is your market understanding, customer leadership, commercial mindset, and ability to lead and develop a consulting business.

Why this role

• A key leadership position in a sector undergoing significant change

• A real opportunity to define direction and build a growth platform in energy and industrial business

• A role combining strategy, customer engagement, and hands-on business leadership

• A salary of 7500–9000 €, depending on experience, and an opportunity to invest in Welado Group

We will be talking with potential candidates already during the application period, so there’s no need to wait until the deadline to get in touch.
