We are looking for an engaged and driven automation technician to join our team! With us, you will have the opportunity to work on exciting and innovative projects within industrial automation.

The most important job of the future

We want to lead the transition of our industry towards a sustainable future. Just as we want to change the world, we want to develop everyone who is with us on the journey, both personally and professionally. Do you want to help shape the future of the world's mining and minerals industry?

Your role

If you are interested in technology and automation, and want to learn and grow in the field, this is a perfect opportunity for you. With us, you will have the chance to develop in an exciting and educational work environment where you will work with modern solutions and technology. In this role, you will primarily work with maintenance and development of communication/control systems for remote loaders, rock breakers, loading trucks, drilling rigs, WLAN, and access control systems in the mine. We also provide support for other workplaces within the mine regarding control systems for mining machines, ventilation (controlled ventilation underground), and water lifting (pump chain). The workplace's mission spans a wide area, from infrastructure to automation. A prerequisite for fulfilling the workplace's mission is competence in all areas. Therefore, competence development will be a prioritized issue within the workplace. Since the work involves a lot of troubleshooting, it is important that you are a problem solver and enjoy working where you need to take your own initiative. The work is performed in pairs, so you also need to be someone who enjoys collaborating with others.

You bring with you

• High school education with a focus on electrical/telecommunications, control, and regulation technology

• Driver's license B is a requirement

• Experience from work with infrastructure, automation, or electrical engineering is an advantage
