Vacant job

We are now looking for a skilled Machine Mechanic for an established transport company in Kiruna with approximately 120–130 employees, the majority of whom are drivers. The company operates an extensive fleet of machinery in the mine, where operations run around the clock. A total of over 100 vehicles and construction machines are handled, including wheel loaders, dump trucks, forklifts, excavators, and trucks.

The mechanics team here is tight, competent, and works without micromanagement — you are involved in taking responsibility, planning your own work, and solving what needs to be done.
