Vacant job

Do you want to work close to some of Sweden's largest industrial companies while being part of a family-owned business where decision-making paths are short and the team comes before the individual? VINAB is now looking for an engaged Project Manager for industrial projects in our operations in northern Sweden.

About the role:

At VINAB, you will have an operational and varied role where you lead projects in the field, work closely with customers, and become a key part of the company's continued growth journey within the mining, steel, and process industries. As a Project Manager at VINAB, you will become part of a tightly knit project team where flexibility, collaboration, and personal responsibility are a natural part of everyday life. The projects are primarily directed towards customers such as LKAB, Boliden, and SSAB and include assembly projects, steel structures, and mechanical maintenance.

The role is operational and hands-on – here you are expected not only to lead the projects but also to be present in the operations, support the team, and build good relationships with both customers and employees.

Travel occurs regularly between the company's operational locations in Norrbotten, with one of the main areas being the Malmfälten region.

We are looking for you who:

Have experience from the industry and thrive in an environment where the pace is sometimes high and problem-solving is a natural part of everyday life. We would like you to have a technical education in areas such as mechanical engineering, industry, production, or project management – or equivalent work experience.

Advantageous with experience of:

• Project management within industry or contracting
• Mining, steel, or process industry
• High customer contact and personnel leadership
• Field work and meeting clear deadlines

To succeed in the role, we see that you are:

• Solution-oriented and driven
• Unpretentious and willing to collaborate
• Structured and meticulous
• Social and communicative
• Confident in making decisions
• Safety-conscious with a high sense of responsibility

Other:

• A B-driver's license is required.
• BAS-U certification is advantageous.
• Good knowledge of English is advantageous, as are other languages.

Practical information:

• Location: Flexible within Norrbotten.
• Working hours: Monday–Friday, varying working hours may occur depending on the respective project setup.
