Our Employee Journey

At Ovako, we believe that work is more than just a job - it is an opportunity to be part of something meaningful. We promote an open and friendly atmosphere where every individual is valued and where there are opportunities for personal and professional development. Many of us find satisfaction in knowing that our work contributes to making the world a better place.

As a Nordic global leader in sustainable steel, Ovako is not just a workplace; it is a community shaping a better future. While some may call us modest, the truth is that we realize that real change starts with ourselves. Join us on this journey of change, where the beauty of nature is just around the corner. Be a catalyst for positive change at Ovako.

Are you a safety-conscious and solution-oriented mechanic who wants to contribute to the future of steel production? Then you might be the one we are looking for!

About the Position

As a mechanic, you will be part of a team of both mechanics and electricians primarily working on preventive maintenance and improvements.

You will participate in the ongoing development of the FU plan documented in our maintenance system. When necessary, you will also work on urgent tasks to ensure operations and minimize downtime.

As you always prioritize safety in your work, you will use checklists when tackling the tasks assigned to you through work orders from operations.

The shift pattern is currently daytime.

What Do We Offer?

At Ovako, you get the best of both worlds – the quick decision-making of a small organization and the security of a large organization. We offer:

  • A fast-paced and forward-looking work environment
  • Good camaraderie
  • Opportunities to influence and develop in your role

Education

We are looking for someone with a 3-year high school education focused on mechanics/industry, but you may also have acquired equivalent knowledge and experience through previous work.

You preferably have several years of experience working as an industrial mechanic.

Knowledge of hydraulics is an advantage.

Your Profile

We place great importance on your personal qualities, characterized by being self-driven, safety-conscious, and having a systematic approach to work while taking responsibility for your tasks from a holistic perspective, as well as possessing good teamwork skills and being organized. You are communicative, as the tasks involve many contacts within the company as well as with contractors.

Having good computer skills and a B driver's license are prerequisites for the position, while you must also speak and write fluently in Swedish and have a good command of English in both speech and writing.

We actively work to create a workplace characterized by diversity and inclusion.

Selection is ongoing, and the position may be filled before the application deadline.

We warmly welcome your application.
