As a manager or leader, do you have experience in the process industry and/or maintenance? Do you have technical expertise—preferably in mechanics, hydraulics, or tribology—and a passion for development and change management? Are you confident, engaged, inclusive, and structured in your leadership style? You now have the chance to join us on the journey to create fossil-free steel production with world-class maintenance—we look forward to receiving your application! Location: Borlänge

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 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 the green transition of the entire steel industry.
