Vacant job

Do you want a varied and exciting job in a modern laboratory environment for mechanical testing? SSAB is facing a historic shift in steelmaking, and the transition to fossil-free steel creates both new opportunities and challenges. We are now looking for an automation electrician for Materials Testing who wants to be part of this journey.
