Welcome to HiQ Mälardalen – where technology meets community in the heart of Sweden’s industrial and technological hub. Here, we combine advanced tech projects with a strong local presence, great team spirit, and plenty of opportunities for growth. With us, you’ll work in a region where people and ideas grow together.

HiQ Mälardalen has offices in Västerås, Örebro and Borlänge – cities that together form one of Sweden’s most exciting technology clusters. Our clients are leading companies in industries such as manufacturing, energy, defense, automotive, and the public sector.

With software at the core, we deliver smart, sustainable, and innovative solutions in areas like development, design, and project management.

A workplace where you can be yourself

At HiQ Mälardalen, culture is at the core of everything we do. We’re all about openness, curiosity, and creating an environment where everyone gets to contribute, grow, and feel like an important part of the team. There’s also plenty of space to just be yourself – which makes for a flexible, fun, and down-to-earth place to work.

Assignments that challenge and grow you

As a consultant here, you’re part of a team – but how you work can vary. Some like working solo, others in smaller groups or on in-house projects at our offices. We’ve got assignments with real technical depth, and you might find yourself doing anything from building smart interfaces and system solutions to leading projects. Together, we’ll match you with assignments that fit your skills, interests, and goals.

Learning is just part of the everyday. Whether it’s tech talks, lunch & learns or just sharing knowledge with each other – there’s always something going on. We also offer training and certifications to help you sharpen your skills and open new doors. Our goal is simple: to give you what you need to take the next step in your career – whatever that looks like for you.

A few reasons to join us

Competence Groups

To challenge ourselves and keep learning, we’ve set up different competence groups and forums that you can join to dive into topics you’re curious about. Think leadership forums or specialist groups focused on areas like AI or Cybersecurity. It’s a great way to stay inspired, share knowledge, and grow together with others who share your interests.

Events

At HiQ Mälardalen, we love a good event – whether it’s a Thursday after work, a summer party, or a festive Christmas celebration. Our events are the perfect chance to connect, network, and just have a great time together – with colleagues and future HiQ:ers alike!

Clubs

When we’re not working, there are plenty of groups and activities to join if you’re up for it – everything from board game nights to Crochet & Cava. Can’t find what you’re looking for? No worries – you’re more than welcome to start your own club!

Conferences

HiQ Mälardalen has four offices – Västerås, Örebro, and Borlänge – which is why we regularly get together at fun locations to mix a bit of work with a lot of good vibes. It’s a great chance to collaborate, strengthen connections across the region, and enjoy some team building, workshops, and free time together!

Community

At HiQ Mälardalen, we’re more than just colleagues – we’re a community that puts well-being and development front and center. There’s something here for everyone, from yoga and lunchtime workouts with a personal trainer to tech talks, quizzes, and our shared health initiative GoHealth, which takes place twice a year with a focus on wellness and togetherness.

We also know how to have fun – both in simple everyday ways and during bigger celebrations. It could be anything from Friday hangouts with a chip-tasting session to just sticking around after work to catch up with teammates. For our consultants out at client sites, it’s a great way to reconnect with the HiQ home base.

We also organize bigger activities like Crochet & Cava, joint conferences, game nights, and Club HiQ. Our women’s network, HiQueens, is an important part of our culture – a space where we support each other and build meaningful connections.
