Within the Pilot and Demo business area at Swerim, we work operationally with the operation and maintenance of pilot and demonstration plants. Swerim has pilot plants for most of the known metallurgical processes, processing equipment, its own hydrogen production plant and plants for reforming the various process gases available in the industry. We rebuild and adapt our facilities to the customer's own conditions and develop pilot-scale processes that can be transferred to the customer's own manufacturing plant. Several new pilot plants are being built in our heating and processing test hall, where the use of hydrogen is a central theme. About the work As a bricklayer with us, you step into a role that is far from traditional. Here, it's not just about bricklaying according to drawings - you're involved in solving real problems in a heavy industrial environment where demands are high and conditions are constantly changing. You work with refractory masonry in everything from production furnaces such as electric arc furnaces and converters to smaller lab and test furnaces. The work spans the entire chain - from preparation and planning to implementation, follow-up and improvement. An important part of the role is the link to our experimental activities. During campaigns, you are part of the team where you contribute to the preparatory, implementation and follow-up work, which means that you get to be involved in real development - not on the side. In addition to the practical work, you also have a responsibility for structure and order. You will ensure that the right materials are available at home, document sets, update drawings and help build knowledge for the future. Collaborate closely with both scientists and engineers.
