Do you want to make a real impact and create change? Here you contribute to creating security for people and communities. What you do matters.
Do you want to work with some of Sweden's most advanced lifting operations?
At Saab Naval in Karlskrona, we work right in the heart of the Swedish marine industry. Here, ship sections weighing hundreds of tons are moved, platforms are slid in with millimeter precision, and ships are docked in a business where safety, technology, and teamwork are at the center.
We are now looking for more employees to join our Heavy Lifting team. This is not an ordinary logistics job.
This is work where advanced technology, careful planning, and precision meet raw strength and large dimensions - every day.
Your role
As an employee in Heavy Lifting, you work with complex lifting and transport operations within the shipbuilding industry. You become an important part of the operation where every task requires focus, responsibility, and collaboration.
The tasks include, among other things:
- Heavy lifting with cranes and other lifting equipment
- Transport with SPMT/multi-wheeler
- Precise positioning of ship sections
- Sliding in platforms and equipment into ship sections
- Moving large structures within production
- Participation in ship launching and docking
- Collaboration with docking teams, production, and project management
The work often takes place in large and technically advanced projects where safety, communication, and problem-solving are crucial for success.
No two days are alike. One day you work on the millimeter fitting of a ship section - the next day you participate in ship docking or carry out heavy transports through the yard.
Who we are looking for
We believe you thrive in a practical and technical environment where the work places high demands on precision, safety, and collaboration.
You enjoy challenges, take responsibility, and like solving problems together with others. You have a safety mindset and understand the importance of planning the work correctly from the start.
We are looking for you who have experience in, for example:
- Crane operation
- Heavy lifting
- Heavy transport
- Forklift operation
- Industrial, port, or shipyard work
It is an advantage if you have experience in:
- SPMT/multi-wheeler
- Safe lifting
- Forklift license
- Work at height license
- Hot work
- Fall protection training
- Drawing reading
We place great emphasis on personal qualities and are looking for people who want to develop together with the team.
Why you should apply
With us, you get to work in a unique environment where few workplaces in Sweden can compete with the size, complexity, and variation of the work.
You become part of an experienced and cohesive team that works closely with some of the country's most advanced marine projects - where every lift and every docking plays a crucial role.
We offer:
- A varied and technically advanced job
- Opportunities to develop within heavy lifting and special transports
- A strong team with high professional pride
- Work in a unique shipyard environment in Karlskrona
