Luleå, Norrbotten, Sweden SSAB Emea AB Full time
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 goes 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. 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 it will continue to be so. In the roofs over our heads, in the bridges connecting our cities and in the cars of tomorrow. At SSAB we are proud of our history and leadership in high-strength steel. But 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 has 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.
