The Most Important Jobs of the Future

We want to lead the transformation 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, personally and professionally. Do you want to help shape the future of the global mining and minerals industry?

Your Role

As an automation technician, you are an important support function for the entire operation in Svappavaara. You work broadly with electrical, automation, and instrumentation issues, and have a varied everyday life with both planned and urgent tasks. Examples of tasks include:

• Electrical installations and troubleshooting throughout Svappavaara – from simpler tasks like changing light bulbs to connecting machines, instruments, and control systems
• Preventive and urgent maintenance as well as advanced troubleshooting and repairs of electrical, automation, and instrumentation equipment within LKAB's industrial area in Svappavaara
• Participation in new installations, disassemblies, inspection rounds (TK2 and TK3), and smaller projects
• Contact person for urgent electrical issues and participation in the emergency list for automation
• Work with high-voltage equipment and responsibility for 6 kV cables in the open-pit mine

The work takes place in several different facilities with varying technology, which means that the workdays look different. You work both indoors and outdoors with a broad mix of tasks, often together with colleagues. Together, you contribute to developing working methods and technology with a focus on safety, efficiency, and improvements that make a difference.

What You Bring

We are looking for someone who is solution-oriented and enjoys taking on new challenges. You find it easy to collaborate, communicate clearly, and are attentive in your interactions with both colleagues and other functions in the organization. You take responsibility for your work and have the ability to think ahead even when problems are unexpected. The role requires you to be flexible and comfortable switching between different tasks and contact points.

To succeed in the role, we see that you have:

• High school electrical education or equivalent
• Driving license B (for manual transmission)
• Good knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written
• Experience working with hardware (meritorious)

Warm welcome to your application!

Your answers help us understand your skills and experience, so take the time to respond as clearly and thoroughly as possible.

We will review applications continuously before the Christmas holiday, but interviews will start in mid-January. During weeks 52 through week 2, we will be closed.
