Luleå, Norrbotten, Sweden SSAB AB Full time

Construction Area Project Manager

Location: Luleå

Country: Sweden

Application due date: 4/8/2025 23:59:59 UTC

Would you like to be part of SSAB's journey re-inventing the future of steel?
SSAB stands out in the international steel industry, prioritizing both sustainability and innovation in its operations. As we embark on our fossil-free transformation journey, we are looking for a highly experienced and senior Project Manager. For the Luleå transformation, the plan is to replace the existing production system with new mini-mill technology and to add a cold mill complex with capabilities that go beyond the existing ones.

This investment will enable a reduction of approx. 10% in Sweden's total carbon dioxide emissions.

We're searching for a senior Project Manager to drive the construction of our Cold Mill Complex—one of SSAB's most ambitious projects to date. Your location is flexible, but we'd love to have you in Luleå or Stockholm, with regular travel to the site.

Becoming part of the SSAB family means joining a journey that we believe is essential for the sustainability of this planet. Steel has been one of the most important materials for developing our society and will continue to be so. At SSAB, we are proud of our history and leadership in high-strength steel. However, we are also aware that the production of steel is one of the largest emitters of greenhouse gases in the world. That has to change. That is why we have developed the world's first fossil-free steel production and have committed to becoming largely fossil-free by around 2030. As part of SSAB, you will be instrumental in realizing this goal and push for the green transformation of the whole steel industry.

About the position

Do you have a proven track record of managing large-scale, complex industrial projects? This role is all about leadership, accountability, and execution. You'll be at the helm of a massive transformation, ensuring seamless collaboration, strategic oversight, and a commitment to excellence.

  • Work closely with technical and engineering teams to integrate complex requirements.
  • Engage with stakeholders to align expectations and ensure project success.
  • Support procurement and contractual negotiations with vendors.
About You

You bring expertise, leadership, and a get-it-done attitude. You thrive in high-stakes environments and excel at balancing strategic thinking with hands-on execution.

Your Qualifications:

  • Engineering degree (B.Sc. / M.Sc. or equivalent).
  • 6+ years of experience managing large-scale CAPEX projects (greenfield/brownfield).
  • Strong project management skills, including planning, execution, and risk mitigation.
  • Experience coordinating contractors and negotiating contracts.
  • Fluent in English; Swedish is a plus.
  • Ability to work under pressure, manage multiple stakeholders, and drive results.
