Are you the one?

We are now starting to build the organization for SSAB's new fossil-free steel mill in Luleå. We are looking for a committed and change-oriented leader who wants to help shape the future of steel production. Our cold rolling mill in Luleå will be a central part of our production and we are now looking for a committed and experienced department manager to build up, lead and develop the business. Take the chance to be part of the journey towards our new steel mill and the opportunity to influence your own, Luleå's and SSAB's future. 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.
