Vacant job

Some see a factory. We see opportunities.

At Södra Cell, we are in the midst of an exciting digital journey where technology and operations meet to create smarter, safer, and more sustainable processes. Now we are looking for you who want to drive this development – in a role where you can make a real difference.

We know that innovation happens when different perspectives meet. That is why we welcome more people with different backgrounds and experiences to join us in developing our company.

As a Project Manager within OT (Operational Technology) digitalization, you will become a key player in our work to develop and implement digital solutions in our mills. You will become an important link between people, technology, and operations – and get to create real value.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to work both strategically and operationally with industrial digitalization. You will drive projects from idea to implementation – but you will do it together with others.

You will, among other things:

• Lead digital development initiatives and create results that are visible in operations
• Be the link between industrial IT (OT) and production, process, and maintenance
• Connect technology and operational needs to create a holistic view in projects
• Collaborate closely with engineers and specialists at our mills
• Help develop new ways of working regarding digitalization

With us, you will get a role where you can use both your technical competence and your ability to create collaboration and engagement.

This is a central and cross-business unit role where you work across all our mills within Södra Cell. This means you will get a broad network, significant influence throughout the organization, and insight into several parts of our operations. The role involves business travel as projects are driven at our mills in Värö, Mörrum, and Mönsterås.

The position is a permanent, full-time employment with a start date to be agreed upon.

We are looking for you who are curious about how technology can make a real difference in an industry-adjacent operation, and who thrive in a role where you take responsibility, collaborate, and drive things forward.

You have:

• An engineering degree or equivalent experience
• Experience in project management, or worked in projects in a similar role
• Knowledge in areas such as control technology, data analysis, AI/ML, IoT, or predictive maintenance
• A valid driver's license

As a person, we believe you:

• Are analytical and structured
• Thrive in collaborations and build trust
• Have your own drive and take initiative
• Dare to try new things and contribute to change

You don't need to know everything from the start – with us, there is an opportunity to grow into the role and develop together with experienced colleagues.

At Södra, you have the opportunity to develop professionally while contributing to sustainable forestry that creates value for people and the environment. We place great value on your personal engagement and care about that you thrive and feel well. For your security, we have collective agreements and good terms, as well as several benefits that you can use both at work and in your spare time.

What do you think, could this be something for you? Then you know what to do. We really look forward to hearing from you!

Södra is one of the country's largest forest industry companies and is jointly owned by more than 50,000 family forest owners in southern Sweden. In addition to developing forestry, we strive to always use the forest raw material in the most efficient and climate-smart way. Paper pulp, timber, textile pulp, and bio-products are just a few examples. By working together, we have the strength, engagement, and courage required to build a sustainable society. This happens with our feet on the ground, our ear to the outside world, and our gaze forward.
