The most important job of the future
We want to lead the transformation of our industry towards a sustainable future. And in the same way that we want to change the world, we want to develop everyone who is with us on the journey, personally and professionally. Do you want to help shape the future of the world's mining and mineral industry?
LKAB's open-pit mines are located in Svappavaara, four miles southeast of Kiruna.

Your role
We are looking for a planner/preparer for the Svappavaara processing plant with a focus on the maintenance shutdown. We are now working to strengthen our maintenance department and will work actively with the development of the maintenance organization. One step in this development is to strengthen the planning and preparation function. The foundation for stable production is laid with the maintenance work that we carry out during the year's various maintenance stops.
Your main duties are to plan and prepare maintenance work for internal and external resources. You will be part of a team of engineers and technicians who work towards the same common goal but in different areas of responsibility. You will have close cooperation with the work management that performs activities during our maintenance stops. This service has an important role in the planning, execution and follow-up of the maintenance stop which takes place in bicycles throughout the year. Good planning and preparation ensures that the maintenance stop can be carried out with high quality and according to schedule.
Your everyday life as a planner/preparer:
- Prepare and plan activities towards the maintenance shutdown.
- Actively participate in follow-up and take part in reported work which is the basis for future activities.
- Documentation management that is linked to machine components such as e.g. drawings and instructions.
- Spare parts management.
- Manage purchases against planned maintenance work.
The workplace has a good community where you have the opportunity to influence how well we maintain our facilities.

- Complete upper secondary education
- Knowledge and experience in industry/technology/maintenance
- Driving licence B
- You must master the Swedish language in speech and writing
- It is advantageous if you have previous experience of maintenance work in relevant businesses and/or in LKAB's facilities.
To thrive in the role of planner/preparer, you need to be curious about technology and processes in industry. You should be flexible and enjoy working both independently and in a group. You are curious, responsible and driven and have good cooperation skills.
This is what you get
- Motivation program that rewards success
- Health care and study support as well as access to art association, leisure association, mountain cabins and family activities
- Enhanced parental allowance with up to 90% of your regular salary for up to six months. (After employment for one year)

About LKAB
LKAB is an international mining and minerals group with northern Sweden as its base and the whole world as its workplace.

Do you work at LKAB today but are interested in a new role?
Then we would like you to submit your application via our internal career page. Log in to your Workday account and go to "Jobs Hub", where you can search for all available jobs and send your application.
Prior to recruitment, LKAB has considered recruitment channels and marketing. We kindly but firmly decline all contact from media marketers, recruitment sites and the like.
We are leading the transformation of our industry towards a sustainable future. Our co-workers, a new world standard for mining, sponge iron and critical minerals will be key as we make our production carbon-free by 2045.
Global greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced significantly and within a short period of time. Tackling the climate problem will require a transformation – a significant challenge as global energy consumption is heavily linked to fossil fuels. It requires systemic changes that will take time and require a high degree of collaboration between industry and policy makers.
Based on our vision and mission, the strategy for LKAB charts the way forward towards zero carbon dioxide emissions from our own processes and products by 2045. It also secures our long-term competitiveness.
