Are you the one?

Do you want to work in a business with great potential and momentum? As an automation technician, you get a job in a developing industry and become an important cog in the work towards a higher degree of digitized condition-based maintenance. Location Borlänge.

Becoming part of the SSAB family means joining a journey. A journey that we believe is crucial for the future of the planet and sustainability. Steel has been one of the most important materials for the development of our society and will continue to be so in the future. In our homes, in bridges connecting our cities and in the cars of tomorrow. At SSAB, we are proud of our history and our leadership in high strength steel. At the same time, we are aware that steel production is one of the industries that emits the most greenhouse gases in the world. This must change. We have therefore developed the world's first fossil-free process for steel production and around 2030 we will be largely fossil-free. As part of SSAB, you will be important in realizing this goal and thus contribute to a green transition of the entire steel industry.

SSAB is in an expansive phase and is expanding for the future with several investments and rebuilds.

Your role includes tasks such as preventive and planned maintenance, deeper troubleshooting, fault analysis and improvement of existing equipment and systems. As an electrical and automation technician, you are an important cog in the work towards a higher degree of digitized condition-based maintenance. As you are technically skilled in your field, you are helpful with questions from the entire production organization linked to maintenance. You can also be involved in projects linked to the maintenance work or the production process where you sometimes have a leading and coordinating role. The work is to some extent independent, but great emphasis is placed on cooperation both in your own team and also the ability to work between other teams to drive and develop the section's activities.

We apply a group-organized way of working.

Interviews will be held on an ongoing basis and the position may be filled before the deadline.
