Would you like to work in a laboratory and be an important part of the analysis chain behind the development of the steel of the future? We are now looking for a meticulous and dedicated laboratory technician for the metallography laboratory in Oxelösund!

Becoming part of 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 that connect 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 process for steel production and have 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 of the entire steel industry.

• Work toward clear requirements for quality, lead time, and delivery accuracy.
• Contribute to maintaining order, equipment maintenance, and improvements in work methods and procedures.
