Job Description

Sweden is facing a historic transformation as industry shifts toward a more sustainable future. In northern Sweden, some of the most extensive industrial investments of modern times are underway, and we are now looking for a Construction Supervisor who wants to play a key role in one of our complex projects.

In close collaboration with LKAB, NCC is delivering one of the region’s most significant projects: the construction of the new ore sorting plant in Vitåfors, Gällivare. Work is already well underway and forms a central part of the transition to a more sustainable mining and steel industry. The new facility is being built adjacent to the existing plant and will cover approximately 24,000 square meters, where extensive earthworks, foundation works, and concrete construction activities are currently being carried out.

About the Role: Construction Supervisor

As a Construction Supervisor, you will play a central role in project execution. You will be responsible for leading, planning, and monitoring activities within your area of responsibility while ensuring that production progresses according to plan. You will work closely with the Site Manager and be supported by a team of skilled tradespeople and specialists.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Leading and allocating work within your area of responsibility
• Planning and coordinating production together with the Site Manager and project team
• Ensuring that work is carried out in accordance with the schedule, quality standards, and health and safety requirements
• Conducting and following up on daily safety briefings
• Coordinating subcontractors and resources
• Participating in the selection of construction methods and contributing to project progress
• Supporting the Site Manager with planning, risk management, and project follow-up

You will serve as an important link between site operations and project management, with the opportunity to develop within a complex and technically exciting project environment.

As a Construction Supervisor, you will have the opportunity to apply and further develop your leadership skills in daily operations, where you will be responsible for leading both subcontractors and skilled trades personnel. A key aspect of your role is fostering engagement and collaboration within the team. You will coach and motivate your colleagues to ensure that, together, we leverage our collective expertise and achieve successful project outcomes.
