neutral  Mårten Sandberg: ...but refers to construction and building sites etc.//Engineer + Native Swede + Google investigation.
5 mins
  -> Thank you Mårten, but how on earth do you deduce this? There's no clue in the actual question.
neutral  asptech: an "anläggningskonstruktör" designs industrial processes and installations, not buildings
50 mins
  -> Thank you asptech; but unless specified in the question an 'anläggningskonstruktör' could be the designer of more or less any sort of installation.
agree  David Rumsey: I would agree. This asker has had several "telecommunications related questions, so I think he's talking about telecommunication installation. Hence "installation designer" is the best choice.

  -> Thank you David, but we are all really still unaware of what sort of 'anläggning' is intended. Is it a nuclear power plant, a dishwasher or a super hair curler?

Anläggningskonstruktör
civil engineer


Explanation:
Actually not a very common term (90 hits only )but civil engineer is what it means pretty much.
In ref it says they are looking for "ingenjörer" so that supports it.

  -> I will not disagree with that - but it seems to be found in very diverse branches of engineering, so lets say it´s context dependent

Anläggningskonstruktör
project engineer


Explanation:
It seems to me as that guy can be in any technical field doing anything between circuit/plumming design to over-all supervising. The only common task appears to be one of administration and coordination.
