En kvalitativ fallstudie har genomförts på en industrianläggning i Mellansverige i syfte att undersöka den upplevda vikten av att projektledare i industriella projekt besitter teknisk kompetens. För att besvara studiens syfte har följande forskningsfråga formulerats; Hur upplevs behovet av teknisk kompetens hos projektledare i industriella projekt? En tematisk analys har genomförts och resulterat i fyra teman; En roll med flera ansikten, Den optimala projektledaren, Stöpta i samma form och Måste alla vandra samma väg? Analysen har resulterat i slutsatserna att projekts storlek påverkar projektledarens roll och ansvar samt vilka kompetenser som upplevs vara viktigast för projektledaren. I små projekt är projektledarens tekniska kompetens av stor vikt, men i större projekt anses den inte vara nödvändig. Det finns en tradition av att projektledare i industriella projekt i grunden är tekniker, vilket påverkar den upplevda vikten av att projektledare i industriella projekt besitter teknisk kompetens. / A qualitative case study has been conducted at an industry facility in the central part of Sweden to research the perceived importance of that project managers in industrial projects have technical competence. The research question for the study is; What is the perceived need for that project managers have technical competence in industrial projects? A thematic analysis has been conducted and resulted in four themes; A role with many faces, The optimal project manager, Molded in the same cast, and Does everyone have to walk the same path? The analysis has resulted in the conclusions that the size of the project affects the project manager role and responsibility, as well as, which competencies that is perceived to be most important for the project manager. In small projects, the project manager’s technical competence is perceived to be of great significance, but in large projects it is not viewed to be essential. There is a tradition of that project managers in industrial projects from the beginning are technical workers, which contributes to the perceived importance of that project managers in industrial project have technical competence.
