Are you the one?

Viscaria mine in Kiruna is a significant copper deposit with strong geological and technical potential. With permits in place and a clear focus on modern and sustainable mining, operations continue to develop. The next phase involves strengthening the organization with clear roles and responsibilities.

With us, you get a unique opportunity to step into the start-up of a completely new mining business. You will be part of a modern company with short decision-making paths, close collaboration and an open, inclusive culture. You're not just part of the operation - you help shape it. The role provides great scope to influence, develop working methods and set the framework for how we work in the future.

About the role

As a process operator, you work with the operation, monitoring and optimization of Viscaria's water management and process facilities. The role is an important part of ensuring safe and stable operations in the business.

You will:

  • Control and monitor water delivery through borehole pumps, basins and pumping stations to WTP-1000

  • Monitor and manage the process in WTP-1000, including the treatment of mine water and production of potable water to the industrial area

  • Conduct daily rounds of internal and external facilities

  • Conduct sampling, analysis and handling of process and water chemicals

  • Contribute to good order, safety and operational standards in the facilities

  • Participate in daily operational meetings and work closely with technicians and other operational organization

The work is conducted in shifts and the business will be in operation around the clock. On-call duty may occur.

As more parts of the operation are commissioned, the role will gradually develop and also include monitoring and control of, for example, mine ventilation, processing plants, clarification dams and other process facilities from a central control room.

Who we are looking for

We are looking for you who thrive in a practical and responsible role where accuracy, safety and long-term thinking are central. You have a structured way of working and are confident in following routines while handling a varied workload.

You have experience of working in control rooms with process control and thrive in a role with shift work. If you also have knowledge in mechanical work, water treatment or sampling, we see it as a big plus. You are fluent in Swedish and English and have a B driving license.

This is what we offer

You will have the opportunity to be part of the next phase of our establishment where the organization is strengthened with clear roles and responsibilities. We are a player with a clear focus on modern and sustainable mining, and you will be part of the work of developing a safe and stable business.
