The Special Products business area delivers services and products. The business area consists of five divisions with operations in industrial minerals, mining and construction services, mechanical services, drilling technology, and explosives.

Your role

LKAB plans to begin extracting critical minerals from the existing iron ore mine in Gällivare by establishing a new apatite processing plant. The purpose is to utilize flows from iron ore production that are currently not being utilized. Your work as a Project Manager is a key part of LKAB's push for a circular industry and enables future production of rare earth elements, phosphorus for mineral fertilizer for agriculture, and gypsum as a by-product for the construction industry.

The role involves close collaboration with internal clients, as well as external suppliers and contractors.

In this role, you have two main areas of responsibility: driving ongoing improvement and conversion projects related to our apatite pilot plant in Gällivare, and working from the pre-study phase onwards in the development of a future full-scale apatite operation.
