140 meters below the sea – our unique project takes the next step
In an exciting collaboration with Svensk Kärnbränslehantering (SKB), Skanska has been commissioned to expand the existing final repository for short-lived radioactive waste (SFR) in Forsmark. The project involves expanding the storage facility and is expected to be completed by 2030.

Safety-conscious mechanic for tunnel project

Above ground, there are also lighter vehicles, wheel loaders, and our workshop.

Our mechanics work together with the rock workers in a 6/8 shift rotation. We are now expanding our team and are looking for two additional tunnel mechanics for the shift crew and one day mechanic for above-ground work.

For the day mechanic role, there is also an opportunity for training on the operation of the tunnel machines.

Safety is important to us at Skanska. All work is characterized by good planning, job preparation, communication, and risk assessment. We work in close and good cooperation with the client. We offer varied and independent tasks in a fantastic natural environment with accommodation close to the workplace.
