At Boliden, we know that the metals we mine and make available will continue to play a crucial role in the future—what matters is how we produce them. Join us and drive change for future generations.

We are expanding our organization in Garpenberg and are now looking for two new members to join our experienced and dedicated team in the Area Scrap Department (OMR). Are you an experienced rock miner with a background in machinery demolition, a strong safety mindset, and the ability to make critical decisions?

Then we’d love to hear from you!

Your Role

As an area demolition specialist, you’ll work on a variety of critical tasks to secure the rock and prevent rockfalls. By inspecting rock conditions and carrying out reinforcement work, you’ll play a key role in ensuring a safe and secure work environment in the mine. To succeed and thrive in this role, you need to be a responsible and decisive person with solid knowledge of rock breaking and bolting techniques.

Your Team

You will be part of a dedicated team of experienced rock workers, where work is performed independently or in pairs. The work schedule is currently a continuous 1-shift, 7 days a week, with a planned transition in the near future to a continuous 2-shift schedule, 7 days a week (day and night). This is a permanent position. A probationary period may apply.

Your Responsibilities

• Manual and machine rock breaking
• Manual and machine bolting
• Manual and machine netting
• Drilling with a knee-feed drill
• Inspection of rock conditions and implementation of reinforcement measures
• Securing and reinforcing excavations

Your contribution

We are looking for someone who takes great responsibility for safety and quality in their work. You are eager to take the initiative and are skilled at working both independently and as part of a team. You are also responsible and have a strong ability to make clear and well-founded decisions in critical situations.

Requirements:

• High school diploma
• Experience with underground rock or mining work and machinery dismantling.
• Class B driver’s license
• Strong communication skills in Swedish and English
• Proficiency with computer systems

The following are considered a plus:

• Previous experience with manual scrapping, bolting, or drilling with a knee-operated drill.
