Are you the one?

Are you looking for a leadership role where you’ll have the opportunity to influence and develop work within Swedish industry?

SSAB Luleå is now seeking a driven and dedicated manager for Electrical Maintenance at the Coke Plant—a key position for ensuring operational reliability, quality, and safe working practices in production. As a manager, you’ll play a key role in our efforts to become the world’s safest steel company.

Joining the SSAB family means embarking on a journey. A journey that we believe is crucial for the planet’s future 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 the bridges connecting our cities, and in the cars of tomorrow. At SSAB, we’re proud of our history and our leadership in high-strength steel. At the same time, we’re aware that steel production is one of the industries that emits the most greenhouse gases in the world. That has to change. We have therefore developed the world’s first fossil-free steel production process and are committed to becoming largely fossil-free. As part of SSAB, you will play a key role in achieving this goal and thereby contribute to a green transition for the entire steel industry.

About the Position

In the role of Manager of the Electrical Maintenance Section at the Coke Plant, you will play a central role in the operation. Over the next five years, your mission will be to ensure that the Coke Plant continues to deliver at the highest level and to develop reliable and sustainable operations. You’ll have the opportunity to inspire and help shape both current and future ways of working, while leading a skilled team in an exciting industrial environment.

You will report to the Maintenance Manager and work closely with both the operations and maintenance organizations as well as other functions within the company. You will be part of the coking plant’s management team and have significant opportunities to influence both strategy and work practices.

We always put safety first. An active approach to safety and occupational health permeates our daily work, where we take joint responsibility for creating a safe and secure workplace. Take the opportunity to make a difference and grow with us at SSAB Luleå—here you’ll find a workplace where commitment, responsibility, and collaboration are central.

SSAB is undergoing an exciting transformation, with a new fossil-free facility scheduled to be completed in 2029. You’ll be part of it from the very beginning, witnessing the changes from the inside and helping to build SSAB’s fossil-free transition.
