Vacant job

This is an invitation to join the team of the "Metal Consumables and Elements" (MCE) Division and to take the lead in shaping MCE’s future processes for Development, as well as leading some of our most important projects. As Project Manager, you will be an essential part of turning our strategic vision into actionable plans, ensuring that our product and process development are aligned with both current and emerging needs of our customers. Join us to help steer towards a future with expanded production capabilities and the development of next-generation products.

Your Role

As Project Manager in MCE, you will be deeply involved in setting future plans for our critical activities and following up to ensure that we meet our ambitious targets.

A third task is to plan and track the strategic objectives that MCE works towards, where you will be the "master of the plan" and work with all stakeholders to ensure we stay on track.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage the strategic objectives for the MCE division and ensure that we are on track with all our goals and ambitions.
• Lead our PMO function. Ensure efficient allocation of resources, including personnel, equipment, and materials, to optimize project performance and internal capability.
• Lead some of our important development and investment projects. Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders, including global manufacturing plants, engineering, contractors, suppliers, and clients, to ensure smooth project execution.
• Risk Management: Identify potential risks and develop mitigation strategies to minimize the impact on project timelines and outcomes.
• Track project progress, prepare regular reports, and present updates to senior management, including risk mitigation plans. Oversee project budgets, monitor expenditures, and implement cost-saving measures where possible.

Your Background

• Degree in Business or Engineering.
• Project management experience.
• Proven experience in a leadership role.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work collaboratively in a high-paced, dynamic environment.
• Understanding of finance to manage budgets and financial planning effectively.
• Strong organizational and planning skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and proactively address business demands in a fast-paced environment.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English and Swedish, and the ability to build strong working relationships.
