About the role

Ovako is a company with a strong focus on sustainability, safety, and innovation. You might not have thought about it, but Ovako's high-quality and durable steel is found everywhere in society – in passenger cars and trucks around the world, in the snowplow clearing the roads in winter, in the wind turbine providing renewable energy, and in the barbell holding the weights at the gym. The steel is present where demands for quality and sustainability are highest.

In the role of Supply Chain Lead, you hold a key position in ensuring an efficient and well-functioning flow from the steel mill to the finished product. You are responsible for optimizing capacity, delivery precision, and planning, while also contributing to the development of working methods and processes. The role involves close collaboration with production, logistics, and sales.

You will have a secure start in the role by working closely with experienced colleagues and following a structured introduction plan that provides you with the right conditions for success. The role involves close collaboration with production, making on-site presence in Smedjebacken an important part of the assignment.
